See Toxicological Information (Section11)

Potential environmental effects

See Ecological Information (Section 12)

Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: If contact with eyes occurs, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.

Skin Contact: Wash material off the skin with plenty of water. Do not pull bonded skin apart. It may be gently peeled apart using a blunt object as a spoon, preferably after soaking in warm water.
