First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
DO NOT DELAY. Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available.
Symptoms: Redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters.
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. Give nothing by mouth.
Symptoms: Fever greater than 101 F (38.3 C), shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing.
Immediate Medical Attention
Obtain medical treatment immediately. Transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment if rapid recovery does not occur (inhalation), if redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur (skin), after flushing eyes, or if swallowed. For ingestion, transport to nearest medical facility if delayed signs and symptoms (fever greater than 101 F (38.3 C), shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing) appear within 6 hours.
Medical Treatment
Consider: oxygen therapy.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use sealed systems as far as possible. Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits. Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Firewater monitors and deluge systems are recommended. Eye washes and showers for emergency use.
Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739, AS/NZS:2161) made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: Longer term protection: Viton. Incidental contact/Splash protection: Nitrile rubber. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
Chemical splash goggles (chemical monogoggles). Approved to EU Standard EN166, AS/NZS:1337.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point <65 C (149 F)] meeting EN14387. Where respiratory protective equipment is required, use a full-face mask. Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g., airborne concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus.
Chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets, boots, and apron. Where risk of splashing or in spillage clean up, use chemical resistant one-piece overall with integral hood. Wear antistatic and flame retardant clothing.
Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing vapour. Information on accidental release measures are to be found in section 6.
