Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
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.
🖐️ Skin Contact
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.
👁️ Eye Contact
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.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing

🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
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 & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
None under normal use conditions.
🧤 Hand Protection
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.
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (European standard - EN 166).
😷 Respiratory Protection
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.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
