Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Supply fresh air. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
👁️ Eye Contact
Protect unharmed eye. Call a doctor immediately. Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor. Remove contact lenses.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Make vicitim drink water (two glasses at most). Do not induce vomiting - aspiration hazard. Seek medical treatment.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation.
Medical Treatment

No further data; see item 7.
🧤 Hand Protection
Solvent resistant gloves Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation Material of gloves Material thickness > 0,7 mm Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Penetration time of glove material level 6 for application > 480 min The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
👁️ Eye Protection
Tightly sealed goggles
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.If air-purifying respiratory protection is required according to the risk assessment, wear a respirator with full-face mask with combination filter (US) or with filter type ABEK (EN 14387) filter cartridge. If the respirator is the only protective measure, an ambient air self-contained breathing apparatus with afull face mask must be worn. Respirators and components must be approved to appropriate government standards (for example, NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU)).
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Protective work clothing (e. g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
