First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. Rinse mouth with water. If irritation persists get medical advice/attention.

Skin contact

In contact with molten product immediately flush with cold water for at least 10 minutes. Do not pull solidified product off the skin. In case of burn injury immediately get medical attention.

Symptoms: burn injury

Eye contact

IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Use lukewarm water if possible. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. After contact with the molten/hot product, cool rapidly using water. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.

Symptoms: eye irritation

Ingestion

Clean mouth with water and drink plenty of water afterwards. If a large quantity has been ingested or you feel unwell, get medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: feel unwell

Immediate Medical Attention

In case of burn injury immediately get medical attention. Seek immediate medical attention/advice for eye contact.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically

05
