|
General Advice |
Immediate and specialised first aid and medical treatment is required. Speed is of the
essence. Flush with plenty of water immediately. Continue flushing during transport to
hospital or medical center. |
|
Eye Contact |
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. In
the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical.advice.. |
|
Skin Contact |
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical
attention is required. Dermal burns may be treated with calcium gluconate gel or slurry in
water or glycerine. This compound binds the active fluorides in an insoluble form and limits
burn extension and pain. Soaking or immersion with iced 0.13% Benzalkonium chloride solution
may be used for skin burns and should be continued until the pain is relieved. Do not use in eyes. |
|
Inhalation |
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or
inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a
one-way equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Remove to fresh
air. Immediate medical attention is required. A nebulized solution of 2.5% Calcium gluconate may
be administered with Oxygen by inhalation. |
|
Ingestion |
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. |
|
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed |
Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis
is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion
causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation. |
