SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under
the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Skin Contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated
clothes and shoes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Inhalation Remove from exposure, lie down. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If
not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediate medical attention is required.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. Clean mouth with water.
Most important symptoms/effects Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric
lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should
be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue
and danger of perforation
