First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air or oxygen; call for doctor. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation. Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if symptoms persist. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
Call a doctor immediately. Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor.
make victim drink water (maximum of 2 drinking glasses). Call a doctor immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Involve doctor immediately.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No further data; see section 7.
Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. 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 through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. For the permanent contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable: Butyl rubber, BR. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.70 mm. Value for the permeation: Level ≥ 480 min. As protection from splashes gloves made of the following materials are suitable: Nitrile rubber, NBR. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.40 mm. Value for the permeation: Level ≥ 30 min.
Tightly sealed goggles
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device. Use suitable respiratory protective device only when aerosol or mist is formed. Recommended filter device for short term use: Filter ABEK
Use protective suit.
