SECTION 4: First aid measures

Description of first aid measures

Inhalation Unlikely route of exposure during normal use. IF INHALED: Move affected person to fresh air
and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention if any
discomfort continues.

Ingestion Unlikely route of exposure during normal use. IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth thoroughly with
water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention.

Skin Contact No specific recommendations.

Eye contact Unlikely route of exposure during normal use. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids
wide apart. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Inhalation Unlikely route of exposure during normal use. IF INHALED: May cause respiratory irritation.
Emits vapours if heated. Vapour may irritate respiratory system/lungs.

Ingestion Unlikely route of exposure during normal use. IF SWALLOWED: May cause stomach pain or
vomiting.

Skin contact Prolonged contact may cause redness, irritation and dry skin.

Eye contact Particles in the eyes may cause irritation and smarting.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes for the doctor The severity of the symptoms described will vary dependent on the concentration and the
