After swallowing: Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Call for medical help.
A vomiting person on the side, lying on the back, turn. If vomiting, hold the head of the vomiting person low with the body in a prone position.
Information for doctor: The toxicological properties of this material have not bean fully investigated.
The following symptoms may occur:
Irritations after contact with eyes, skin and mucous membrane.
After skin contact: Allergic reactions.
After inhalation of dust: Irritating to respiratory tract. Coughing. Breathing difficulty (dyspnea)
After swallowing: Irritations of mucous membranes in the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus and gastrointestinal tract. Gastric or intestinal trouble
A description of possible other symptoms is not present at the moment.
DANGER
Substance not fully tested! No examined data or experiences are present regarding toxic and/or chronic endangerments for the
health. Harmfoul after swallowed. Irritation on eyes, skin and respiratory tract. After skin contact allergic symptoms possible.
The following applies to cyanogen compounds/nitriles in general: utmost caution! Release of hydrocyanic acid possible.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Components with critical values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required.
Personal protective equipment
1) General protective and hygienic measures
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.
Instantly remove any soiled and impregnated garments.
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Do not inhale dust / smoke / mist.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while working.
2) Breathing equipment:
If used in closed systems or well-ventilated area breathing protection is not necessary.
In an emergency (e.g.: unintentional release of the substance) respiratory protection must be worn.
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus. In case of intensive
or longer exposure use breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.
Filter P2 or Filter P3.
2) Protection of hands:
Chemical-protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended.
· Material of gloves
No material can be recommended. Experience says that polychloroprene, nitrile rubber, butylrubber, fluoro-caoutchouc, and polyvinyl
chloride are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved solids.
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
ASK THE MANUFACTURER FOR SUITABLE MATERIAL.
· Penetration time of glove material
At the permeation time no data are present. The penetration of the glove material is impossible with dry and not gassing solids.
The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
· Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials: Strong gloves, Leather gloves
3) Eye protection: Safety glasses with side protection.
4) Body protection:
Wear dust tight protective clothing. Antistatic protective clothing. Flameproof protective clothing.
Apron, Boots or Suitable chemical protection suit.
Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier.
