Section 3 Composition/information on ingredients Components CAS No. Weight % Xanthan Gum 11138-66-2 100 Section 4 First aid measures General Advice: Inhalation: Skin Contact: Eye Contact: Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label if possible). Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If large quantities inhaled, keep airway open as possible. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt, or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
