Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation persists, take medical advice.
👁️ Eye Contact
Immediately rinse with water for a prolonged period while holding the eyelids wide open. Consult an eye specialist.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Take immediately victim to hospital.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Call a physician immediately. Take immediately victim to hospital.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
The substance is flammable and therefore the following conditions must be met to ensure safe use: Risks are controlled by storage and use under conditions which avoid all ignition sources. . Ensure adequate ventilation. Safety shower. Eye fountain.
🧤 Hand Protection
hydrocarbons resistant gloves. In case of repeated or prolonged contact wear gloves. recommended material: fluorinated polymer. polyvinyl alcohol. Layer thickness : all thicknesses. Breakthrough time : > 480 min. EN 374-3. In the event of contact with the liquid: Nitrile rubber gloves. Layer thickness : > 0,30 mm. Breakthrough time : > 60 min. EN 374-3. Gloves may degrade in contact with this chemical. - Carefully check the glove for cracks or damage before reusing it, dispose of gloves where the penetration time is exceeded. The penetration time depends on temperature, glove material, thickness and construction. Penetration time is measured against EN 374 in laboratory conditions corresponding to permanent static contact and is not necessarily representative of the risk in the workplace. Contact the gloves' supplier for further information on the selection and resistance of gloves.
👁️ Eye Protection
Safety glasses. Do not wear contact lenses
😷 Respiratory Protection
Gas mask with filter type A. Where exposure through inhalation may occur from use, respiratory protection equipment is recommended
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing. Safety foot-wear
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Avoid release to the environment. Assure that emissions are compliant with all applicable air pollution control regulations.
