If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Remove from exposure, lie down. 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. Call a physician immediately.

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation

Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source

Protective gloves. Specific hand protection requirements include: Glove materials (Neoprene, Butyl rubber, Nitrile rubber, Viton (R)), Breakthrough time (480 minutes for all listed), Thickness (Neoprene: 0.45 mm; Butyl rubber, Nitrile rubber, Viton (R): 0.35 mm). Standards compliance: EN 374 (for Butyl rubber, Nitrile rubber, Viton (R)), Level 6 (for Neoprene, Butyl rubber). Conditions for replacement: Inspect gloves before use, observe instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time from supplier. Gloves must be suitable for chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility (e.g., sensitisation effects), and specific local conditions (e.g., danger of cuts, abrasion). Handle gloves with care to avoid skin contamination.

Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143. For small scale/laboratory use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask: Particle filtering: EN149:2001. When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
