First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen. Perform artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Get prompt medical attention.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin thoroughly with water. If symptoms occur seek medical attention.

Eye contact

Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eyelids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Get medical attention immediately. Show the label or this document to the physician.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention immediately (Ingestion), Get prompt medical attention (Inhalation).

Medical Treatment

Show the label or this document to the physician.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Risk of vapour concentration on the floor and in low-lying areas. Static electricity and formation of sparks must be prevented.

Storage

Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry well-ventilated place.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Static electricity and formation of sparks must be prevented.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Provide explosion-proof ventilation for high concentrations.

Hands

Use protective gloves made of: Butyl rubber (immersion protection) or Nitrile rubber (splash protection). The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough time of the glove material.

Eyes

Wear approved, tight-fitting safety glasses where splashing is probable.

Respiratory

Self-contained breathing apparatus where high vapour levels are likely.

Skin/Body

Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Wash promptly with soap & water if skin becomes contaminated.
