sue damage and blindness.
In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty
of water and seek medical advice.
Continue rinsing eyes during transport to hospital.
Remove contact lenses.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

If swallowed : Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.

Rinse mouth with water.
Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms : Cough

Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an ap-

proved standard must be worn at all times when handling
chemical products. Reference number EN 374. Follow manu-
facturer specifications.

Recommended: Butyl rubber/nitrile rubber gloves.

Contaminated gloves should be removed.

Skin and body protection : Dust impervious protective suit

Protective clothing (e.g. Safety shoes acc. to EN ISO 20345,
long-sleeved working clothing, long trousers). Rubber aprons
and protective boots are additionaly recommended for mixing
and stirring work.

Respiratory protection : Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated

exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe work-
ing limits of the selected respirator.

P1: Inert material; P2, P3: hazardous substances
Ensure adequate ventilation. This can be achieved by local
exhaust extraction or by general ventilation. (EN 689 - Meth-
ods for determining inhalation exposure). This applies in par-
ticular to the mixing / stirring area. In case this is not sufficent
to keep the concentrations under the occupational exposure
limits then respiration protection measures must be used.
