First-aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures

Remove victim out of the danger area.

When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice.

In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).

After inhalation:

Provide fresh air.

If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.

Following skin contact:

Wash immediately with:       Water.

In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.

Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.

After eye contact:

In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist.

After ingestion:

Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.

Let water be drunk in little sips (dilution effect).

Do not induce vomiting.

Seek immediate medical advice.
