Do not rub eye, this may cause particles to scratch the eye. Hold eyelids apart & flush the eye. Take care not to flush rubber into the unaffected eye. Neutral saline can be used if available. Seek medical help if irritation persists.
Skin Contact
Wash thoroughly with soap and water, and apply a lanolin based hand cream if needed.
Inhalation
Remove from contaminated area to fresh air immediately. Assist breathing if necessary. Consult a physician if irritation develops.
If ignited, this product will release toxic and irritating smoke. Smoke may contain noxious compounds, and acrid compounds of sulphur.
First Aid facilities
