First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Call a POISON CENTER/doctor. Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to eat or drink.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
All work processes must always be designed so that the following is as low as possible: Inhalation, skin contact, Eye contact.
Store between 15 °C and 30 °C. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Keep/Store only in original container.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.
Wear suitable gloves. When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. Check leak tightness/impermeability prior to use. By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness: -, Breakthrough time: 240-480 min. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness: 0,425 mm, Breakthrough time: > 480 min.
Eye glasses with side protection
Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn.
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing must be worn.
