SECTION 3: Composition/information on ingredientsOccupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.

SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1 Description of first aid measures
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10
minutes. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If
it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate
mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. If not breathing, if breathing is irregularor if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained
personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Get medical attention. If necessary, call a poison center or physician.
If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed.
The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.
In the event of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure.
Skin contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. In the event of any
complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure. Wash clothing before reuse.
Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. If material has beenswallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water todrink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs,
the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical
attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious,
place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open
airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Protection of first-aiders: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it issuspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate maskor self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing
aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughlywith water before removing it, or wear gloves.

8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering
controls: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas,
vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn,
unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: Wear safety glasses
with side protection in accordance with EN 166.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicatesthis is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer,
check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may bedifferent for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting ofseveral substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Recommended: Wear suitable gloves tested to EN374.

before handling this product.
: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should beselected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should beapproved by a specialist before handling this product.
: Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator that meets theappropriate standard or certification. Respirators must be used according to a
respiratory protection program to ensure proper fitting, training, and other important
aspects of use. Recommended: Particle filter device (DIN EN 143). Filter type: P3: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In somecases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
