CAS-No. 17766-26-6 Percent (Wt./ Wt.) 15 %

Other information

This material is classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General advice

Pay attention to self-protection.

Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a 

safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.

Do not leave victims unattended.

If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation

Potential for exposure by inhalation if aerosols or mists are generated.

Move victims into fresh air.

With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.

If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician 

immediately.

Skin contact

Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.

Ingestion

Rinse out mouth.

Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.

Consult a physician immediately.

Notes to physician

The initial focus is only on the local action, possibly characterized by a progressive tissue irritation.

In the eye, irritating liquids cause, depending on the intensity of exposure, irritation of the conjunctiva 

and, in exceptional cases, damage to the cornea.

There is a danger of blindness if corneas are damaged!

Superficial irritations and only infrequent damage with ulcerations develop on the skin.

An irritation of the mucous membranes may develop and lead to coughing after inhalation.

Personal protective equipment 

Respiratory protection

A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 or applicable 

federal/provincial requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use.

NIOSH's "Respirator Decision Logic" may be useful in determining the suitability of various types of 

respirators.

Hand protection

Applies to handling for brief periods or of small amounts

Glove material Nitrile, for example, Dermatril P 743, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), 

Germany
