4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact : In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate
flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
Skin Contact : After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin
with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be
used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before
