SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES 4.1 Description of necessary first aid measures: The symptoms resulting from intoxication can appear after exposure, therefore, in case of doubt, seek medical attention for direct exposure to the chemical product or persistent discomfort, showing the SDS of this product. By inhalation: This product does not contain substances classified as hazardous for inhalation, however, in case of symptoms of intoxication remove the person affected from the exposure area and provide with fresh air. Seek medical attention if the symptoms get worse or persist. By skin contact: May cause an allergic skin reaction. In case of contact it is recommended to clean the affected area thoroughly with water and neutral soap. In case of changes on the skin (stinging, redness, rashes, blisters,…), seek medical advice with this Safety Data Sheet By eye contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. Do not allow the person affected to rub or close their eyes. If the injured person uses contact lenses, these should be removed unless they are stuck to the eyes, as this could cause further damage. In all cases, after cleaning, a doctor should be consulted as quickly as possible with the SDS of the product. By ingestion/aspiration: Do not induce vomiting, but if it does happen keep the head down to avoid aspiration. Keep the person affected at rest.
