First-Aid Measures
If inhaled
Remove individual to fresh air. Seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or if respiratory irritation develops. Give
oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
In case of skin contact
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. If clothing comes in contact with the product, the clothing should
be removed and laundered before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation develops. Chemical burns must be treated by a
physician.
In case of eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue
rinsing. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
If swallowed
Immediately call a physician or poison control center. Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious
or is having convulsions. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed by physician. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach
content does not get into the lungs.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Direct skin or eye contact may cause corrosive burns. Symptoms may include pain, redness or swelling. Scarring or permanent
damage, including blindness, could result. Inhalation may cause severe respiratory irritation, such as coughing and wheezing.
Inhalation could result in pulmonary edema, symptoms—chest pain, shortness of breath—may be delayed. Ingestion may produce
burns to the lips, oral cavity, upper airway, esophagus, and possibly the digestive tract. Symptoms may include abdominal pain,
vomiting, burns, perforations, and bleeding.
Refer to section 11 of the SDS for delayed and immediate effects and chronic effects from short- and long-term exposure.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Chemical burns: Flush with water immediately. While flushing,
remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep
person under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.
