Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. Get medical attention immediately if irritation develops and persists.
Skin contact: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Eye contact: In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Immediately give large quantities of water to drink. Call a physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Respiratory protection:
In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.
Respirator with a vapour filter (EN 141) Respirator with ABEK filter.
Hand protection: Suitable material : Nitrile rubber Break through time : > 480 min Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).
Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles
Skin and body protection: Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place. No special protective equipment required.
Hygiene measures: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
Environmental exposure controls
General advice: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Clean spillages and dispose of via the correct procedures (national laws/requirement).
