First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air.
Symptoms: May cause irritation to respiratory tract.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water [or shower].
Symptoms: Get medical attention if symptoms occur. May cause irritation to skin.
Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do, remove contact lenses.
Symptoms: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. May cause irritation to eyes.
Rinse mouth. Never give liquid to an unconscious person.
Symptoms: Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Material: Chemical resistant gloves
Use personal protective equipment as required.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
