🖐️ Skin Contact
Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.
👁️ Eye Contact
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
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 & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🧤 Hand Protection
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN ISO 374-1) also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) etc. 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.
👁️ Eye Protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 ℃, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).
