SECTION 4: First aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures
Inhalation:
Treat symptomatically. Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms
persist.
Eye contact:
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do,
remove contact lenses. Get medical attention. In case of irritation from
airborne exposure, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms
persist.
Skin contact:
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while

removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention
immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or
thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Only induce vomiting

at the instruction of medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Not relevant, due to the form of the product.

8.2 Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering
controls:
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.
Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls
to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye bath. Safety shower. Washing facilities.
Eye/face protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Wear a full-face
respirator, if needed.
Skin protection
Hand protection:
Other:
Respiratory Protection:
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing

appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional
or manufacturer for specific information.
No data available.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below
recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level
(in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an
approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if
respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance
with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Airpurifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved (where
applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister. Contact health and
safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
