First Aid Measures
General adviceImmediate medical attention is required. In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible). If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Eye contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Immediate medical attention is not required. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air If symptoms persist, call a physician Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary Call a physician Immediate medical attention is not required Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors
Ingestion
Immediate medical attention is not required. Rinse mouth. Drink plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Self-protection of the first aider
Remove all sources of ignition. Use personal protective equipment as required.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containmentPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up
Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handlingEnsure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity).
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use with local exhaust ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.
