FIRST AID MEASURES4.1 Description of first-aid measures General advice First aider needs to protect himself. Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. If inhaled After inhalation: fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen. In case of skin contact In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately. In case of eye contact After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses. If swallowed After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most), avoid vomiting (risk of perforation). Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit. Call a physician immediately.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION8.1 Control parameters Ingredients with workplace control parameters 8.2 Exposure controls Appropriate engineering controls Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance. Our recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on the following standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387 and other accompanying standards relating to the used respiratory protection system.
Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Tightly fitting safety goggles Skin protection Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching gloves outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.
