Skin contact

Remove clothing and wash thoroughly before use. Wash affected skin with soap and water.

Eye contact

Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists (inhalation, skin, eye). Get medical attention (ingestion).

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.
