    Potential Acute Health Effects: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion,
    of inhalation.
    Potential Chronic Health Effects:
    CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
    DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes.
    Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

    Section 4: First Aid Measures


    Eye Contact:
    Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids
    open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
    p. 1

    Skin Contact:
    After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
    water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used.
    Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before
    reusing.
    Serious Skin Contact:
    Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
    attention.
    Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
    Serious Inhalation:
    Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
    breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical
    attention.
    Ingestion:
    Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that
    the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
    tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
    Serious Ingestion: Not available.

    exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
    below the exposure limit.
    Personal Protection:
    Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
    Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
