First-aid measures
. General information:
Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product.
Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours after the accident.
· After inhalation: Supply fresh air. If required provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm.
Consult doctor if symptoms persist.
In case of unconsciousness place patient into the recovery position for transport.
· After skin contact:
Wash immediately with plenty of water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
Seek medical treatment.
· After eye contact:
Rinse opended eyes thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and apply a sterile protective bandage.
Get medical attention.
· After swallowing: Rinse mouth and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
