First-aid measures

General Advice:  If symptoms persist, call a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Use of alcoholic beverages may enhance toxic effects. Irritation may be delayed for several hours.

Eye Contact:  Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist

Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothes and Shoes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.

Inhalation:  Remove from exposure, lie down. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention.

Ingestion: Clean mouth with water and afterwards drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting .Treat symptomatically. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Immediate medical attention is required. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
