First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Do not leave the victim unattended. Keep patient warm and at rest. Seek medical advice immediately. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. If unconscious place in recovery position.
Symptoms: Causes asphyxiation in high concentrations. The victim will not realize that he/she is suffocating. Shortness of breath, Unconsciousness.
Remove/ Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. If clothing already frozen and stuck to the skin: Do not remove contaminated clothing. Wash frost-bitten areas with plenty of lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area. Seek medical advice.
Symptoms: cold burns and frostbite
Remove contact lenses. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Immediate Medical Attention
In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Seek medical advice immediately for inhalation or skin contact.
Medical Treatment
Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary. Treat frost-bitten areas as needed.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Minimise exposure using measures such as closed systems, dedicated facilities and suitable general / local exhaust ventilation. Ensure safe systems of work or equivalent arrangements are in place to manage risks. Regularly inspect, test and maintain all control measures.
Material : Cold-insulating gloves (e.g. nitrile rubber). Remarks : Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the standard EN 374 derived from it. This recommendation is only valid for the product mentioned in the safety data sheet and provided by us and for the application specified by us.
Safety goggles or face-shield. (EN 166)
In case of insufficient ventilation: Self-contained breathing apparatus. Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing.
Wear suitable protective clothing. Safety shoes
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering environment and drains. If major spillage occurs, contact the proper local authorities.
