respiration if needed.
Skin contact Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off
thoroughly with plenty of soap and water, if available with
polyethyleneglycol 400, subsequently rinse with water. In case of skin
irritation, application of oils or lotions containing vitamin E may be
considered. Clean contaminated clothing and shoes before re-use or
discard if they cannot be thoroughly cleaned. If symptoms persist, call
a physician.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at
least 15 minutes. If eye irritation or redness persists, see an
ophthalmologist.

cardiac functions. ECG - monitoring (Electrocardiogram). There is no
specific antidote. Treat symptomatically. Recovery is spontaneous and
without sequelae. Elimination by dialysis (forced alkaline diuresis).

Respiratory protection Wear respirator with a particle filter mask (protection factor 4)
conforming to European norm EN149FFP1 or equivalent.
Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of
short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have
been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or
local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's
instructions regarding wearing and maintenance.

Hand protection Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and

breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.
Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which
the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the
contact time.
Wash gloves when contaminated. Dispose of when contaminated
inside, when perforated or when contamination on the outside cannot
be removed. Wash hands frequently and always before eating,
drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
Material Nitrile rubber
Rate of permeability > 480 min
Glove thickness > 0.4 mm
Protective index Class 6
Directive Protective gloves complying with EN
374.
Eye protection Wear goggles (conforming to EN166, Field of Use = 5 or equivalent).
Skin and body protection Wear standard coveralls and Category 3 Type 5 suit.
If there is a risk of significant exposure, consider a higher protective
type suit.
Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible. Polyester/cotton or
cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and
should be professionally laundered frequently.
General protective measures In normal use and handling conditions please refer to the label
and/or leaflet. In all other cases the above mentioned
recommendations would apply.

SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Metal drums and plastic containers:

Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose
of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or
designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local
