First Aid Measures
General adviceImmediate medical attention is required.
Eye contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact
Immediate medical attention is required. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.
Inhalation
Immediate medical attention is required Remove to fresh air If not breathing, give artificial respiration Avoid direct contact with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water.
Self-protection of the first aider
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protectionTight sealing safety goggles.
Skin and Body Protection
Wear protective gloves and protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations.
General Hygiene Considerations
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing is recommended. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
