First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
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.
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
Give Glucocorticoid-Aerosol in case of lung irritation. If necessary oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation.
Medical Treatment

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see item 7.
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.
Tightly sealed goggles
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)).
Protective work clothing (e. g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
