First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

Skin contact

Immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical attention.

Eye contact

Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

Ingestion

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.

Medical Treatment

Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1). Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eyes

Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

Respiratory

Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 ℃, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)

Skin/Body

chemical-protection suit (f.e. according to EN 14605)

Environmental

All appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the release of this product to the environment and to limit the dispersion of any release when it occurs. Suitable risk management measures should be in place.
