SECTION 4: First-Aid Measures

Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Moderate corneal injuries may occur.Check for and remove
contact lenses, if easy to do. Irrigate eyes with flowing water immediately for at least 15minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Refer to medical personnel.

Skin Contact: Minor irritation, may be a skin sensitizer. Could be absorbed in toxic amounts if not

contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing and clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention
immediately.
 Abatron, INC Code 8508-1A Page 2
Inhalation: Irritation to the upper respiratory tract, dizziness, headache and central nervous system
impairment may occur. Remove to fresh air if effects occur and contact medical personnel immediately.
If person is not breathing or breathing is irregular, provide oxygen with the aid of trained medical
personnel only. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If unconscious, place in
recovery position and seek medical attention immediately.

Ingestion: Toxic. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Immediately contact medical personnel. Do not induce
vomiting unless told to by trained medical personnel. Do not give fluids. If spontaneous vomiting is
inevitable, prevent aspiration by keeping the victim’s head below the knees. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.

be taken involving any personal risk without suitable training. Move container from fire area if this can
be done without rick. Use water jet to cool surrounding containers. In case of fire, smoke may contain
the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition with may be toxic or
