Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data
First-aid measures
Skin: Burning of the skin. Immediately flush the skin with 5% Sodium Thiosulfate solution, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If not possible flush with large amounts of cold water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing with water before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove exposed person from exposure areas to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, drink large quantities of milk and any common cooking (vegetable) oil if available. Take immediately to a hospital or physician. If vomiting occurs administer additional water. If unconscious, or in convulsions, take immediately to a hospital. DO NOT attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Fire-fighting measures
Fire Fighting Procedures: Exposed firefighters must wear certified positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face mask and full protective clothing. Cool down the containers and equipment exposed to heat with a water spray.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: May react with metal and form hydrogen gas. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products.
Combustion Products: Irritating or toxic substances may be emitted upon thermal decomposition. Thermal decomposition products include iodine fumes.
Accidental release measures
Large spills should be placed in closed containers for recovery or disposal. If dilution with water has occurred, treat with alkaline containing neutralizing chemicals such as sodium carbonate and clean up as a spill residue on absorber. For small spills and large spill residues, apply sodium carbonate, then recover on absorber, such as vermiculite, and place in closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces of spilled materials have been removed, thoroughly flush area with large amounts of water. Remove respiratory and skin and eye protection only after vapors have been cleared from area.
Handling and storage
Storage: Keep away from sunlight and other sources of heat. Keep from contact with alkaline substances concentrated ammonia and other reactive or combustive materials. Keep away from explosive mixtures. Do not store in open, unlabeled or mislabeled containers.
