FIRST AID

Inhalation:
Move the affected person to fresh air.
Keep the person calm and comfortable for breathing.
Seek medical attention if coughing, irritation, dizziness, or respiratory discomfort develops.

Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and footwear.
Wash the affected skin thoroughly with soap and plenty of water.
Seek medical advice if redness, itching, swelling, irritation, or an allergic reaction develops.

Eye Contact:
Rinse cautiously with clean running water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, then continue rinsing.
Obtain medical attention if pain, redness, tearing, or visual disturbance persists.

Ingestion:
Rinse the mouth thoroughly with water.
Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by qualified medical personnel.
Contact a physician or poison center if a significant quantity has been swallowed or symptoms develop.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:
Use suitable chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and safety goggles.

Product Preparation:
Homogenize Agnique DFM 111 S gently before use if separation has occurred during storage.
Avoid unnecessarily high shear during product homogenization.
Add Agnique DFM 111 S gradually to ensure uniform distribution.
Evaluate both pre-process and post-process addition to determine the most effective incorporation point.
