Page 1 of 7
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably
Inhalation:
mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing and
Skin Contact:
footwear. Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation should
develop.
Remove contact lenses. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15
Eye Contact:
minutes, holding eyelids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Washing
within one minute is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Seek medical
attention.
