First-aid measures

General Advice: No information available.

Skin Contact:

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Consult a physician if necessary.

 

Eye Contact:

Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

 

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

 

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a physician if necessary.

Protection of first-aiders First-Aid Providers: Avoid exposure to blood or body fluids. Wear gloves and other
necessary protective clothing. Dispose of contaminated clothing and equipment as
bio-hazardous waste.

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1 Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering measures to reduce
exposure:
Ensure adequate ventilation Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user
operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
8.2.2 Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin and body protection: Respiratory protection:

Long sleeved clothing. Chemical resistant apron. Gloves. Effective dust mask. Use a dust respirator under conditions where exposure to the

substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentration of dust (dust clouds) ,
inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls
are not feasible. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.

Disposal considerations

13.1. Waste treatment methods
Waste from residues/unused products
Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service. Dispose of contents/container in
accordance with local/regional/national regulation.
Contaminated packaging Contaminated packing that is emptied of all residues and following appropriate cleaning, may be sent to a recycling plant. Dispose of contaminated or uncleaned packaging to hazardous or special waste collection point. Handle uncleaned containers like the product itself.
