4.1 Description of first aid measures

In case of inhalation:

Move to fresh air. Keep the airway open. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.

In case of skin contact:

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

8.1 Control parameters

8.1.1 Occupational exposure limits:  

Not available

8.1.2 Engineering controls:

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

8.2 Personal protection equipment

Respiratory protection:

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn.

Hand protection:

Wear chemical-resistant gloves。

Eye protection:

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Wear a full-face respirator, if needed.

Skin and body protection:

Wear footwear, and protective clothing.

Hygiene measures:

Do not get in eyes. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
