1. Substances
1. Description of first aid measures
1.1. Inhalation
Move to fresh air. Call a physician immediately if irritation persists.
1.2. Skin contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Cool skin rapidly with cold water after
contact with hot polymer.
1.3. Eye contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Call a physician immediately.
1.4. Ingestion
Drink water as a precaution. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce omitting without
medical advice. Call a physician immediately.
2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Burns resulted from contacting or handling heated/molten materials
3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.
1. Suitable extinguishing media
Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and
spread fire
2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
3. Advice for fire fighters
Follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved
materials.
