SECTION 4: First aid measures
  Description of first aid measures
  General advice
    Hydrofluoric (HF) acid burns require immediate and specialized first aid and medical treatment. Symptoms
    may be delayed up to 24 hours depending on the concentration of HF. After decontamination with water,
    further damage can occur due to penetration/absorption of the fluoride ion. Treatment should be directed
    toward binding the fluoride ion as well as the effects of exposure. Skin exposures can be treated with a
    2.5% calcium gluconate gel repeated until burning ceases. More serious skin exposures may require
    subcutaneous calcium gluconate except for digital areas unless the physician is experienced in this
    technique, due to the potential for tissue injury from increased pressure. Absorption can readily occur
    through the subungual areas and should be considered when undergoing decontamination. Prevention of
    absorption of the fluoride ion in cases of ingestion can be obtained by giving milk, chewable calcium
    carbonate tablets or Milk of Magnesia to conscious victims. Conditions such as hypocalcemia,
    hypomagnesemia and cardiac arrhythmias should be monitored for, since they can occur after
    exposure.Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
  If inhaled
    If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
  In case of skin contact
    Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Take
    victim immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.
  In case of eye contact
    Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
  If swallowed
    Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with
    water. Consult a physician.
  Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
    The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2) and/or in
    section 11
  Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
  Control parameters
  Components with workplace control parameters
  Exposure controls
  Appropriate engineering controls
    Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling
    the product.
  Personal protective equipment
  Eye/face protection
    Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
    appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
  Skin protection
    Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique
    (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of
    contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
    Wash and dry hands.
    The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and
    the standard EN 374 derived from it.
    Full contact
    Material: Nitrile rubber
    Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm
    Break through time: 480 min
    Material tested:Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Z677272, Size M)
    Splash contact
    Material: Nitrile rubber
    Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm

    data source: KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, phone +49 (0)6659 87300     test method: EN374
    If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374,
    contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must
    be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of
    anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any
    specific use scenario.
  Body Protection
    Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected
    according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
  Respiratory protection
    Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle
    respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering
    controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use
    respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such
    as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
  Control of environmental exposure
    Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
