First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately.
rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist.
fresh air. Make victim drink ethanol (e.g. 1 drinking glass of a 40% alcoholic beverage). Call a doctor immediately (mention methanol ingestion). Only in exceptional cases, if no medical care is available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in fully conscious persons) and make victim drink ethanol again (approx. 0.3 ml of a 40% alcoholic beverage/kg body weight/hour).

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section 7.1.
full contact: Glove material: butyl-rubber Glove thickness: 0.7 mm Break through time: - 480 min; splash contact: Glove material: Viton (R) Glove thickness: 0.70 mm Break through time: - 120 min. The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 898 Butoject (full contact), KCL 890 Vitoject (splash contact). The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types. This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).
Safety glasses
