First-aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures

General information

In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).

After inhalation

In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. In the case of lung irritation: Primary treatment using corticoide spray, eg. Auxiloson spray, Pulmicort-dosage-spray. (Auxiloson and Pulmicort are registered trademarks).  In case of allergic symptoms, especially in the breathing area, seek medical advice immediately.

After contact with skin

Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. After contact with skin, wash immediately with: Water. In case of skin irritation, seek medical treatment.

After contact with eyes

In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart. Subsequently consult an ophthalmologist.

After ingestion

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.1. Control parameters

Exposure limits (EH40)

CAS No       Substance                     ppm       mg/m3       Category              Origin

98-01-1       2-Furaldehyde (furfural)              2       8       TWA (8 h)              WEL

                           5       20       STEL (15 min)       WEL

50-00-0       Formaldehyde              2       2.5       TWA (8 h)              WEL

                           2       2.5       STEL (15 min)       WEL

Additional advice on limit values

To date, no national critical limit values exist.

8.2. Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Provide adequate ventilation.

Protective and hygiene measures

Always close containers tightly after the removal of product. When using do not eat, drink, smoke, sniff. Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Eye/face protection

Wear safety glasses; chemical goggles (if splashing is possible). DIN EN 166

Hand protection

Wear suitable gloves.  

Suitable material:

FKM (fluororubber). - Thickness of glove material: 0,4 mm  

Breakthrough time >= 8 h

Butyl rubber. - Thickness of glove material: 0,5 mm  

Breakthrough time >= 8 h

CR (polychloroprenes, Chloroprene rubber). - Thickness of glove material: 0,5 mm  

Breakthrough time >= 8 h

NBR (Nitrile rubber). - Thickness of glove material: 0,35 mm  

Breakthrough time >= 8 h

PVC (Polyvinyl chloride). - Thickness of glove material: 0,5 mm  

Breakthrough time >= 8 h

The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.  

Check leak tightness/impermeability prior to use.  In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well.

Skin protection

Suitable protective clothing: Lab apron.

-insufficient ventilation and aerosol or mist formation  

Suitable respiratory protective equipment: particulates filter device (DIN EN 143). Type: P1-3 The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If the concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. Observe the wear time limits according GefStoffV in combination with the rules for using respiratory protection apparatus (BGR 190).
