First-aid measures
4.1 Description of first aid measures
General advice:
Immediate medical attention is required.
Move out of dangerous area.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled:
If breathed in, move person into fresh air.
Consult a physician after significant exposure.
In case of skin contact:
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.
In case of eye contact:
Rinse with plenty of water.
Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during transport.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
If swallowed:
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Do not induce vomiting! May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms:
The symptoms and effects are as expected from the hazards as shown in section 2. No specific product related symptoms are known.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
