First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory tract irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Symptoms: respiratory tract irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness

Skin contact

Not likely, due to the form of the product. If frostbite occurs, immerse affected area in warm water (not exceeding 105F/41C). Keep immersed for 20 to 40 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Symptoms: frostbite

Eye contact

Not likely, due to the form of the product. If frostbite occurs, immediately flush eyes with plenty of warm water (not exceeding 105F/41C) for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms persist or occur after washing.

Symptoms: frostbite

Immediate Medical Attention

Exposure may aggravate pre-existing respiratory disorders.

Medical Treatment

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide adequate ventilation and minimize the risk of inhalation of gas. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.

Hands

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Nitrile, butyl rubber or neoprene gloves are recommended.

Eyes

Wear approved safety glasses or goggles.

Respiratory

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 air supplied respiratory protection.

Skin/Body

Wear protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure.

Environmental

Environmental manager must be informed of all major releases.
