First-aid measures

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If
not breathing, if breathing is irregular or 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 adverse
health effects persist or are severe. 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.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air
and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been
swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to
drink. 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 if adverse health effects persist or are severe. 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.
Skin contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
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.
CONTACT WITH THE HOT MELT: Cooling immediately with plenty of water. Do not
remove product crusts which may have formed neither forcibly nor by applying any
solvents to the skin involved. In order to obtain medical care for possible burns and
for a smooth cleansing of the skin, seek medical advice immediately.
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.

and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. Collect spillage.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small spill: Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Using a vacuum with HEPA
filter will reduce dust dispersal. Place spilled material in a designated, labeled waste
container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill: Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Approach the release from upwind. Avoid dust
generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter
and place in a closed, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor.
