Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Keep at rest. Aerate with fresh air. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Symptoms:
Lung irritation, Pneumonia. Chemical pneumonitis could follow respiratory exposure.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse mouth. Call a physician immediately. If conscious, drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician immediately. If unconscious, seek medical advice. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically. If ingested, irrigate the stomach using activated charcoal. Chemical pneumonitis could follow respiratory exposure.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
General or dilution ventilation is frequently insufficient as the sole means of controlling employee exposure. Local ventilation is usually preferred. Explosion-proof equipment (for example fans, switches, and grounded ducts) should be used in mechanical ventilation systems.
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear protective gloves. Recommendations are listed below. Other protective material may be used, depending on the situation, if adequate degradation and permeation data is available. If other chemicals are used in conjunction with this chemical, material selection should be based on protection for all chemicals present. Suitable material butyl-rubber Evaluation according to EN 374: level 6 Glove thickness approx 0,3 mm Break through time - 480 min Suitable material nitrile rubber Evaluation according to EN 374: level 6 Glove thickness approx 0,55 mm Break through time - 480 min
👁️ Eye Protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles. In addition to goggles, wear a face shield if there is a reasonable chance for splash to the face. Equipment should conform to EN 166
😷 Respiratory Protection
Respirator with A filter. Full mask with above mentioned filter according to producers using requirements or self-contained breathing apparatus. Equipment should conform to EN 136 or EN 140 and EN 143.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Impervious clothing. Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing problems.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
If possible use in closed systems. If leakage can not be prevented, the substance needs to be suck off at the emersion point, if possible without danger. Observe the exposure limits, clean exhaust air if needed. If recycling is not practicable, dispose of in compliance with local regulations. Inform the responsible authorities in case of leakage into the atmosphere, or of entry into waterways, soil or drains.
