First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapours. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician immediately.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
Consult a physician or call a physician immediately for all exposure routes.
