Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms:
Difficulty in breathing. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical attention. If symptoms persist, call a physician. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. 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
🧤 Hand Protection
Protective gloves. Glove material: Viton (R) - Breakthrough time: 480 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.4 mm, EU standard: EN 374 Level 6. Nitrile rubber - Breakthrough time: 480 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.35 mm, EU standard: EN 374 Level 6. PVC - Breakthrough time: 120 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.5 mm. As tested under EN374-3 Determination of Resistance to Permeation by Chemicals. Inspect gloves before use. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. (Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information) Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.
👁️ Eye Protection
Goggles (European standard - EN 166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: low boiling organic solvent Type A conforming to EN 141. Small scale/Laboratory use: Maintain adequate ventilation No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required
