Inhalation : Get medical attention immediately. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a
position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the
rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. If
not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial
respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person
providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of inhalation of
decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person
may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.
Ingestion : Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures
if any. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for
breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious,
give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as
vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit
does not enter the lungs. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact : Get medical attention immediately. Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly
with water before removing it, or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for at least 10
minutes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. In the event of
any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure. Wash clothing before reuse.
Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact : Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact
lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns must be treated
promptly by a physician.

employed in any process in which this product is used. Do not get in eyes or on skin
or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not
enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the
original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame
or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and
material handling) equipment. Use non-sparking tools. Take precautionary
measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate
static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment
before transferring material. Empty containers retain product residue and can be
hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved
area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been

Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
procedures atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness
of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards, such as
the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace atmospheres - Guidance for
the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with
limit values and measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace
atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment
of exposure to chemical and biological agents) European Standard EN 482
(Workplace atmospheres - General requirements for the performance of procedures
for the measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance
documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be
required.
Exposure controls
Occupational exposure : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust
controls ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne
contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls
also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive
limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must
be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and
the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer,
check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be
different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of
several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately
estimated.
Eye protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists
or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the
assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles and/
or face shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required
instead.
Skin protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product. When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity,
wear anti-static protective clothing. For the greatest protection from static
discharges, clothing should include anti-static overalls, boots and gloves. Refer to
European Standard EN 1149 for further information on material and design
requirements and test methods.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
