Rinse skin with water/shower. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Irritation.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Eye irritation.
Rinse mouth. Call a poison center or a doctor if you feel unwell.
Symptoms: Vomiting. Nausea. Convulsions.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use fire fighting measures suiting the environment. Water spray. Dry powder. Foam. Carbon dioxide.
Strong water jet.
Highly flammable liquid and vapour.
Protect container with water spray. Under fire conditions closed containers may rupture or explode.
Firefighter Protection
Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective equipment. Self-contained breathing apparatus. Complete protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ventilate spillage area. No open flames, no sparks, and no smoking. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing spray, vapours, mist.
Small quantities of liquid spill: take up in non-combustible absorbent material and shovel into container for disposal.
Avoid sub-soil penetration. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
Take up mechanically (sweeping, shovelling) and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure good ventilation of the work station.
Choosing the proper glove is a decision that depends not only on the type of material, but also on other quality features, which differ for each manufacturer. Please follow the instructions related to the permeability and the penetration time provided by the manufacturer. Gloves must be replaced after each use and whenever signs of wear or perforation appear. Do not use : Natural rubber, Nitrile rubber, Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Type Material Permeation Thickness (mm) Penetration Standard Chemically resistant protective gloves Butyl rubber 4 (> 120 minutes) 0,5 mm EN 374
Wear closed safety glasses. EN 166. Use splash goggles when eye contact due to splashing is possible
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. A2-P2. EN 143. . Breathing equipment is only to be used in order to handle the residual risk of short term jobs if all other risk minimizing measures have been carried out e.g. retention and/or local exhaust
Wear suitable protective clothing
Avoid release to the environment.
