First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air and to be sure call for a doctor. In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artificial respiration.
Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Consult doctor if you feel unwell.
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Remove present contact lenses, if easy to do, and continue rinsing. Consult ophthalmologist In case of complaints.
Wash out mouth. Call a doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting!
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a doctor immediately. Consult doctor if you feel unwell. Consult ophthalmologist In case of complaints.

Ensure cleanliness at the workplace.
Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see item 7.
PVC gloves; Neoprene gloves. Internal tests have shown that some rubber gloves may be subject to permeability to acrylamide. We suggest using neoprene gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Protective gloves. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Material of gloves: The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Penetration time of glove material: The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. For the permanent contact of a maximum of 15 minutes gloves made of the following materials are suitable: PVC gloves, Neoprene gloves.
Tightly sealed goggles.
Short term filter device: Filter P3. In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
Protective work clothing.
