Emergency First Aid Measures

Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies

🫁 Inhalation Exposure

Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.

🖐️ Skin Contact

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

👁️ Eye Contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required

Obtain medical attention. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically

Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response

Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures

Suitable Extinguishing Media

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
