4. First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation With any sign of respiratory distress, affected persons should be taken into fresh air and made
to rest while medical attention is sought.
Ingestion If fiber from the product is ingested, immediately rinse mouth repeatedly with water. If
swallowing has occurred, do not induce vomiting. If requested, give affected person sips of
water. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact In case of contact with the product or the cured product dust or particulates, immediately wash
skin with mild soap and water. Use a washcloth to help remove fibers. To avoid further
irritation, do not scratch irritated areas. Rubbing or scratching may force the fibers into the
skin. Get medical attention immediately if the irritation persists.
Eye contact Contamination by fiber should be removed by flushing with water for at least 15 minutes.
Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
General information Filaments are mechanical irritants and may induce temporary mouth, nose and throat
irritation. Skin or eye contact may cause itching and temporary irritation. Ingestion may cause
temporary mechanical irritation of the digestive tract. Pre-existing conditions such as
respiratory or skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to the product or dust/particulate
generated from machining/grinding of the cured product.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes for the doctor No specific recommendations. If in doubt, get medical attention promptly.
