General Advice:
If symptoms persist, call a physician. Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Eye Contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Consult a physician.
Skin Contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse
Inhalation:
Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician. Ingestion rinse mouth. Consult a physician if necessary
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
• May cause slight irritation
• Irritating to mouth, throat and stomach
• Cough
