Trade name: WLK (binding agent) of 12 4.) First aid General information: Remove patient from the hazardous area. Immediately remove any clothing

which has been contaminated. If suspicious symptoms are apparent or if in doubt, seek medical advice.

After inhaling: Breath fresh air, respiration if necessary. Seek medical assistance immediately. After contact: Remove any clothing Thoroughly clean any areas of skin which have been with the skin: in contact with the agent using fresh water and then soapy water. Seek medical advice if cauterisation continues. After contact Keep eye lids open and rinse for at least 15 minutes with clean running with the eyes: water. Seek medical advice. Use an eye rose connected to the water main, if available. After swallowing: The patient should drink plenty of water, if conscious. Get medical assis-

tance immediately. Do not initiate vomiting! Information for the Symptomatic treatment, see also safety specification sheet. physician: 5.) Fire fighting measures Suitable fire Carbon dioxide, extinguishing powder, foam (resistant to alcohol), extinguishers: water spray jet Extinguishers which are not recommended for safety reasons: N/A Particular danger from the agent, its products of combustion or gases produced: Carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and poisonous halogen pyrolysis products (smoke). In case of fire, closed containers may burst. Cool with water. Special protective equipment: Chemical-resistant protective clothing including a breathing

mask with it's own air supply.
