First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person from danger zone. Supply fresh air. Seek immediate medical advice.
Wash with plenty of soap and water, take off soiled clothes and shoes. After prolonged contact (accidental/forced) or any signs of skin changes (redness or other signs of inflammation), consult a doctor. If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
Symptoms: redness or other signs of inflammation, skin irritation
Protect unharmed eye. Remove contact lenses. Seek medical treatment. Immediately rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
Do not induce vomiting - risk of aspiration. Keep airways clear. Call a doctor immediately.
Symptoms: Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit.
Immediate Medical Attention
In case of lung irritation, administer glucocorticoid dose aerosol. If swallowed or in case of vomiting, danger of entering the lungs. Monitor circulation, possible shock treatment. Later observation for pneumonia and pulmonary oedema. Symptomatic treatment.

Labsoluteprotective 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 Nitrile rubber, NBR Material thickness > 0.4 mm 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. Penetration time of glove material level 6 for application > 480 min The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Safety glasses
Not necessary if room is well-ventilated.
