If the discomfort continues, seek medical treatment immediately.

Eye contact

With the eyelid opened, wash immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water for, at least, 10 minutes.

Seek medical advice immediately. (Cause: chemical eye burn).

Ingestion

Rinse mouth.

Drink plenty of water.

Seek medical advice immediately.

Advices for the doctor

At the beginning only the local effect predominates and it is characterized by damages in the tissue which progress quickly in depth.

After inhaling aerosols or mists of caustic liquids, coughing is a symptom of irritation of the respiratory tract.

Depending on the intensity of action, the caustic liquids cause serious irritation in the eye, destruction and detachment of the corneal epithelium and of the conjunctiva, opacity of the cornea, edemas and ulcerations.

Danger of losing sight!

On skin, the observed damage could vary from irritations and superficial damages to ulcerations and scarring.

Fire-fighting measures
