First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
In the event of symptoms take medical treatment. In case of respiratory arrest induce breathing with a respiratory device. Seek medical advice. Ensure supply of fresh air.
In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with soap and water.
In case of contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with water.
Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately. Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical advice.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid formation of aerosols. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale vapours. Wash hands before breaks and after work. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
Keep container tightly closed, cool and dry. Keep only in the original container. Containers which are opened must be carefully closed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Before work use solvent-resistant skin protection preparation. Wash hands before breaks and after work. Provide eye wash fountain in work area. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
Take precautionary measures against static charges. Keep away from sources of ignition and flames.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
In case of intensive contact, wear protective gloves (EN 374). Sufficient protection is given wearing suitable protective gloves checked according to i.e. EN 374, in the event of risk of skin contact with the product. Before use, the protective gloves should be tested in any case for its specific work-station suitability (i.e. mechanical resistance, product compatibility and antistatic properties). Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and information relating to the use, storage, care and replacement of protective gloves. Protective gloves shall be replaced immediately when physically damaged or worn. Design operations thus to avoid permanent use of protective gloves. Appropriate Material: butyl. Breakthrough time: appr. 30 min.
Tightly fitting safety glasses (EN 166).
If workplace exposure limits are exceeded, a respiration protection approved for this particular job must be worn. In case of aerosol and mist formation, take appropriate measures for breathing protection in the event workplace threshold values are not specified.
Normal chemical work clothing.
