Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
👁️ Eye Contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. ONLY induce vomiting at the instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

🏭 Engineering Controls
Material should be handled or transferred in an approved fume hood or with adequate ventilation.
🧤 Hand Protection
Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact. (P280) (Butyl, viton or equivalent)
👁️ Eye Protection
Use eye protection tested and approved under the appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).
😷 Respiratory Protection
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), or a risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised. Use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN14387) respirator cartridges in absence of proper environmental control. Always use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
