First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician.
Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. Wash off any skin contamination immediately. When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice.
Symptoms: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause removal of natural fat from the skin resulting in dermatitis (skin inflammation).
Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Consult an ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Conjunctivitis.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Call a POISON CENTER.
Symptoms: May cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Immediate Medical Attention
Treat symptomatically. Symptoms may develop several hours following exposure; medical observation therefore necessary for at least 48 hours.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically. Monitor respiration. Apply cortisone spray at early stage. After swallowing: activated charcoal (20-60 g) and sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/250 ml) should reduce absorption.
Firefighting Measures

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid breathing vapours. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of heat (e.g. hot surfaces), sparks and open flames. Take action to prevent static discharges. Protect from sunlight.
Wash hands before breaks and after work. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide eye shower and label its location conspicuously.
Usual measures for fire prevention. Have fire-extinguishers in readiness before opening containers. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.
When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn with the CE-label including the four control digits. Recommended glove articles DIN-/EN-Norms EN ISO 374. By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: CR (polychloroprene, chloroprene rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,75 mm, Breakthrough time: < 30 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-2308. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,50 mm, Breakthrough time: > 480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-1570.
Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms EN 166. Recommendation: VWR 111-0432
Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Full-/half-/quarter-face masks (EN 136/140). Recommendation: VWR 111-0206. Suitable material: AXP3. Recommendation: VWR 111-8932.
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn.
