First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician if necessary. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.
Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Rinse mouth. Drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
Immediate Medical Attention
If symptoms persist, call a physician. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Consult a physician if necessary.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
None under normal use conditions.
Protective gloves. Glove material: Nitrile rubber (Breakthrough time: 480 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.38 - 0.56 mm, EU standard: EN 374). Neoprene gloves (Breakthrough time: 480 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.45 mm). Inspect gloves before use. Observe instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time from the supplier. Ensure gloves are suitable for the task considering chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility, and local conditions (e.g., danger of cuts, abrasion). Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (European standard - EN 166).
No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. For large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Particle filter. For small scale/Laboratory use: Maintain adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
