SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Take care of your own safety. If any health problems are manifested or if in doubt, inform a doctor and show him
information from this safety data sheet. If unconscious, put the person in the stabilized (recovery) position on his
side with his head slightly bent backwards and make sure that airways are free; never induce vomiting. If the person
vomits by himself, make sure that the vomit is not inhaled. In life threatening conditions first of all provide
resuscitation of the affected person and ensure medical assistance. Respiratory arrest - provide artificial respiration
immediately. Cardiac arrest - provide indirect cardiac massage immediately.
If inhaled
Terminate the exposure immediately; move the affected person to fresh air. Take care of your own safety, do not let
the affected person walk! Beware of the contaminated clothes. Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue
service and ensure medical treatment considering the frequent need of further observation for at least 24 hours.

Revision date 24th April 2024 Version 3.0
If on skin
Remove contaminated clothes. Take off any rings, watches, bracelets before or during washing if worn in the
contaminated areas of the skin. Rinse contaminated areas with a flow of water, lukewarm at best, for 10-30 minutes;
do not use any brush, soap or neutralizers. Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue service and always
ensure medical treatment. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Rinse skin with water or shower.
If in eyes
Do not rub your eyes – it could lead to mechanical damage of the cornea. Rinse eyes immediately with a flow of
running water, open the eyelids (also using force if needed); remove contact lenses immediately if worn by the
affected person. No neutralization should be performed in any case! Rinsing should be continued for 10-30 minutes
from the inner to the outer eye corner to make sure that the other eye is not involved. Depending on the situation,
call medical rescue service or ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible. Everyone must be referred for
treatment even if affected only a little.
If swallowed
RINSE THE MOUTH WITH WATER IMMEDIATELY AND LET THE PERSON DRINK 2-5 dl of cold water to reduce the
heating effect of the corrosive substance. Consuming larger amounts of liquid is not advisable as it may induce
vomiting and potential inhaling of the corrosive substances in the lungs. The affected person must not be forced to
drink, particularly if already feeling pain in the mouth or throat. In this case let the affected person only rinse the
mouth with water. DO NOT PROVIDE ACTIVATED CARBON! Depending on the situation, call medical rescue service or
ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
If inhaled
Inhaling dust can cause corrosion of the breathing system. May cause respiratory irritation.
If on skin
Causes severe skin burns.
If in eyes
Causes serious eye damage.
If swallowed
Corrosion of the digestion system can occur.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Symptomatic treatment.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media

5.3. Advice for firefighters
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a chemical protection suit only where personal (close) contact is
likely. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and full-body protective clothing. Do not allow run-off of
contaminated fire extinguishing material to enter drains or surface and ground water.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment for work. Follow the instructions in the Sections 7 and 8. Do not inhale dust.
