First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Call a POISON CENTRE/doctor. Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.

Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.

Eye contact

In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Ingestion

If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to eat or drink.

Immediate Medical Attention

Call a POISON CENTRE or doctor/physician. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician. Consult an ophthalmologist. Obtain immediate medical attention.

By short-term hand contact: Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,425 mm, Breakthrough time (maximum wearing time): 14 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-0971. By long-term hand contact: Suitable material: Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber), Thickness of the glove material: 0,30 mm, Breakthrough time (maximum wearing time): > 480 min, Recommended glove articles: VWR 112-3779

Eyes

Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms: DIN EN 166 Recommendation: VWR 111-0432

Respiratory

Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation Suitable respiratory protection apparatus: Full-/half-/quarter-face masks (DIN EN 136/140) Recommendation: VWR 111-0206 Suitable material: ABEK2P3 Recommendation: VWR 111-0059
