4. First-aid measures
General Advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is
required.

Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Immediate medical attention is required.

Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove and wash
contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Immediate medical
attention is required.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth
method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a
pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
