least 15 minutes. In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse
immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Cough, Shortness of breath, Cyanosis, Fever
Symptoms and hazards refer to the solvent.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment Treat symptomatically. Gastric lavage is not normally required.

the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the
contact time.
Wash gloves when contaminated. Dispose of when contaminated
inside, when perforated or when contamination outside cannot be
removed.
