First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air. In case of breathing difficulties or respiratory arrest, initiate artificial respiration. Seek immediate medical advice.
Symptoms: Breathing difficulty, respiratory arrest
Flush contaminated skijn with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
Symptoms: Dermatitis (skin drying)
Rinse out opened eye for several minutes under running water. Remove contact lenses. Continue rinsing. Seek immediate medical advice.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Make vicitim drink water (two glasses at most). Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard. Call a doctor immediately.
Symptoms: Risk of aspiration, Gastric or intestinal disorders, Nausea
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical advice (inhalation, eye contact). Call a doctor immediately (swallowing). Later observation for pneumonia and pulmonary oedema. Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation, possible shock treatment.

Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation Material of gloves The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. NBR: acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber Material thickness > 0.4 mm Penetration time of glove material The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. level 6 for application > 480 min
Tightly sealed goggles
Not required.
Protective work clothing (e. g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
