4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes, including under
lids. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation or redness occurs. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Clean contaminated clothing
and shoes before re-use.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not leave victim unattended. Vomiting may occur
spontaneously. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than waist. If
vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.
Inhalation: If respiratory irritation or distress occurs remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory
irritation or distress continues. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing as ceased apply artificial
respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient.
Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may
have occurred.

Containment of Spill: Dike or retain dilution water or water from firefighting for later disposal. Follow procedure
described below under cleanup and disposal of spills.
Cleanup and Disposal of Spill: Exercise appropriate precautions to minimize direct contact with skin or eyes
and prevent inhalation of mist. Vacuum or sweep into an appropriate storage container. Avoid creating mist.
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material cleanup is complete.

Engineering Controls: Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive
exposure exists, the following traditional exposure techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee
exposures.
Eye Protection: When engaged in activities where product could contact the eye, wear safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shield.
Skin Protection: Skin contact should be minimized through use of latex gloves and suitable long sleeved clothing.
Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid actions that cause dust exposure to occur. Use local or general ventilation to
control exposures below applicable exposure limits. NIOSH or MSHA approved particulate filter respirators
should be used in the context of respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of the OSHA
respiratory protection standard [29 CFR 1910.134] to control exposures when ventilation or other controls are
inadequate or discomfort or irritation is experienced. Respirator and/or filter cartridge selection should be
based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standards Z88.2 Practices for Respiratory
Protection.
Ventilation: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits.
Work Practice Controls:
Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following general measures
should be taken when working with or handling this material:
(1) Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where this
material is stored.
(2) Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying cosmetics, or using the
toilet.
(3) Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes or contact with this material.
