First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Symptoms: May cause allergic skin reaction. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Avoid dust formation.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store under an inert atmosphere. Protect from moisture.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source
Protective gloves. Glove material: Natural rubber, Nitrile rubber, Neoprene, PVC. Breakthrough time: See manufacturers recommendations. EU standard: EN 374.
Goggles (European standard - EN 166)
When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly. Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143. Small scale/Laboratory use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask: Particle filtering: EN149:2001. When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
