SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1 General information
IF exposed: Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Change contaminated, saturated clothing. Do not
leave affected person unattended.
After inhalation
Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor. Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or
stopped, administer artificial respiration.
In case of skin contact
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately.
Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.
After eye contact
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult
an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
In case of ingestion
Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give nothing to eat or
drink.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
All work processes must always be designed so that the following is as low as possible: Inhalation skin contact Eye contact Use
extractor hood (laboratory). If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used. If local exhaust
ventilation is not possible or not sufficient, the entire working area must be ventilated by technical means.

Recommended storage temperature: no data available
Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Keep/Store only in original container.
7.3 Specific end use(s)
no data available
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.1 Control parameters
Does not contain substances above concentration limits fixing an occupational exposure limit.
8.2 Engineering controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled
uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.
Personal protection equipment (PPE)
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing must be worn.
Eye/face protection
Eye glasses with side protection
Skin protection
Wear suitable gloves. When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn. In the case of wanting to use the
gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. Check leak tightness/impermeability prior to use.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection necessary at: aerosol or mist formation If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH
approved respiratory protection should be worn.
Additional information
Wash hands before breaks and after work. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide eye
shower and label its location conspicuously.
