4. First-aid measures
General Advice If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Immediate medical attention is required. If
not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Most important symptoms and Difficulty in breathing. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like
effects headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting
Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically

Engineering Measures Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the workstation location. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting
equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Eye/face Protection Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by
OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard
EN166. Tight sealing safety goggles. Face protection shield.
Skin and body protection Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respiratory Protection Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard
EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if
exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
