4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General advice : Immediate medical attention is required.

Move out of dangerous area.

Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in 

attendance.

Burns may occur several hours after the removal of the 

product.

Inhalation : Obtain medical attention immediately.

If breathed in, move person into fresh air.

Skin contact : Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.

Wash skin immediately with 0,5 % acetic acid in water, and 

then with soap and water.

Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated 

wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with 

difficulty.

Skin irritation, if untreated, may be prolonged and serious 

(e.g., necrosis). This may be prevented by early treatment 

with medium strenght corticosteroids.

Eye contact : In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with 0.5% 

acetic acid in water for a few minutes, followed by rinsing with 

plenty of water.

Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during 

transport of patient.

Remove contact lenses.

Protect unharmed eye.

Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible 

tissue damage and blindness.

Ingestion : Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
