SECTION 4 – FIRST-AID MEASURES

Eyes:

Quickly and gently blot or brush away chemical. Flush contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm,
gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until the chemical is removed. If irritation occurs,
obtain medical advice.

Skin:

If irritation does occur, flush with lukewarm gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until
chemical is removed. Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and leather goods (e.g.
watchbands) as the product is highly flammable. If irritation occurs, obtain medical advice.

Inhalation:

If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial respiration (AR) or, if the
heart has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Immediately
transport victim to an emergency care facility.

Ingestion:

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. If vomiting occurs naturally,
have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Transport victim to an emergency care
facility if necessary

Most Important Symptoms and Effects, Both Acute and Delayed

Symptoms/Injuries
after Inhalation:

Deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product can lead to Central Nervous System
(CNS) effects, unconsciousness and/or death. Product may be irritating if inhaled
accidentally.

Symptoms/Injuries
after Skin Contact:

Short-term exposure is expected to cause only slight irritation, if any.

Symptoms/Injuries
after Eye Contact:

Mild eye irritation may occur if product comes in contact with eyes.

Symptoms/Injuries
after Ingestion:

Ingestion of this product may cause CNS depression, symptoms of which may include;
weakness, dizziness, slurred speech, drowsiness, unconsciousness and in cases of
severe overexposure; coma and death. Ingestion of this product may lead to aspiration of
the liquid, especially if vomiting occurs. This may result in chemical pneumonitis
(inflammation of the lungs) and/or pulmonary edema (an accumulation of fluid in the
lungs).

Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed

Treat symptomatically.
