First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a poison center or a doctor.
Symptoms: Cough. Shortness of breath. Irritating to the respiratory system and mucous membranes.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Irritation.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Serious damage to eyes.
Rinse mouth. Drink plenty of water. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting: prevent asphyxia/aspiration pneumonia. Do not give an unconscious person anything to drink. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and seek medical advice.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a poison center or a doctor if you feel unwell. Get immediate medical advice/attention (for ingestion). Call a physician immediately (for eye contact).

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure good ventilation of the work station.
Chemically resistant protective gloves. EN 374. Choosing the proper glove is a decision that depends not only on the type of material, but also on other quality features, which differ for each manufacturer. Please follow the instructions related to the permeability and the penetration time provided by the manufacturer. Gloves must be replaced after each use and whenever signs of wear or perforation appear. Do not use : Fluoroelastomer (FKM), Chloroprene rubber, Nitrile rubber, Natural rubber. Type: Chemically resistant protective gloves, Material: Butyl rubber, Permeation: 1 (> 10 minutes), Thickness (mm): 0,7, Standard: EN ISO 374
Wear closed safety glasses. EN 166. Emergency eye wash fountains should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Breathing apparatus with filter. EN 14387. Filter type: A. Breathing equipment is only to be used in order to handle the residual risk of short term jobs if all other risk minimizing measures have been carried out e.g. retention and/or local exhaust.
Wear suitable protective clothing. EN 13034. EN 14605
Avoid release to the environment.
