4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician : Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large quantities have been
ingested or inhaled.
Specific treatments : No specific treatment.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling compounds and before eating, smoking,
using lavatory, and at the end of day.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment
indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is
possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of
protection: chemical splash goggles.
Hand protection : Wear chemical-resistant gloves (tested to EN374) in combination with 'basic' employee training. The
quality of the chemical-resistant protective gloves must be chosen as a function of the specific
workplace concentrations and quantity of hazardous substances.
Since the actual work situation is unknown. Supplier of gloves should be contacted in order to find the
appropriate type. Below listed glove(s) should be regarded as generic advice:
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and
the risks involved handling this product.
Wear suitable protective clothing. Always wear protective clothing when spraying.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. If
working areas have insufficient ventilation: When the product is applied by means that will not generate
an aerosol such as, brush or roller wear half or totally covering mask equipped with gas filter of type A,
when grinding use particle filter of type P. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
This product contains low-boiling point liquids. Any respiratory protective equipment should be
air-fed.
Environmental exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental
protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to
reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
