First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Symptoms: Agitation, Cough, pain, choking, and breathing difficulties, Headaches and dizziness may occur, Poisoning effect on central nervous system can cause convulsions, laboured breathing and loss of consciousness
Rinse skin with water/shower. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.
Symptoms: Localised redness
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. In case of eye irritation consult an ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Irritation, Conjunctival oedema (chemosis) of the eyes
Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Observe aspiration hazard if vomiting occurs. In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).
Symptoms: Malaise, Vomiting, Aspiration hazard

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Material type: FKM (fluoro rubber), material thickness: 0,4 mm, breakthrough times of the glove material: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6). For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide.
Use safety goggle with side protection.
Respiratory protection necessary at: Aerosol or mist formation. Type: A (against organic gases and vapours with a boiling point of > 65 C, colour code: Brown).
Flame-retardant protective clothing.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
