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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain
medical attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Flush thoroughly with water. Wash with soap and water. If
the affected area is large or if irritation persists or
develops, obtain medical attention.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Obtain immediate medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Product arising from burning: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen together hydrogen bromide and
bromine.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Protective clothing and a self-contained breathing apparatus
are recommended.
Accidental release measures
self-contained breathing apparatus protective clothing and
suits should attempt to clear-up leaks or spillages. Contain
spill and use a lime slurry or dry soda ash to neutralise
spills. Vapour release should be controlled with water-fog
if possible.
Anhydrous ammonia should also be available to decontaminate
atmospheric fumes of the substance.
Handling and storage
handled in closed systems. The shipping container may also
serve as the on-site storage container. The design of the
point-of-use system may be site-specific. Transfer of the
material from its shipping drum to point-of-use may
generally be accomplished as follows:
1) First install a vacuum breaker to the vent bung of the
shipment/storage drum. The vacuum breaker alleviates the
need to leave the drum open to the atmosphere.
2) Install a dip-tube device fitted with quick-connect hoses
at the main bung of the shipment/storage drum.
3) Quick-connect the dip tube hose to the transfer pump
hose. The system is then ready for material transfer.
Wear goggles or a face shield and neoprene or rubber (not
latex) gloves. Protective clothing consisting of a rubber or
neoprene suit should be worn. In the presence of heavy
vapour concentration wear a self contained (supplied air)
breathing apparatus. For vapour concentration less than
5 ppm (total halogen as chlorine) use a suitable full face
chemical cartridge or chemical canister respirator (e.g.
Seibe Gorman Puretha full-face mask with P canister).
Storage: Store at ambient temperature in sealed containers away from
flammable liquid, alkalis, reducing agents and reactive
metals eg aluminium, titanium and magnesium.

Stability and reactivity
exothermally with organic chemicals, inorganic compounds and
most elements.
Chemical reaction with water: None, the substance is an aqueous solution.
Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance can be neutralised by mixing with an alkaline
solution of sodium thiosulfate. (180 lbs (80kg) technical
grade sodium thiosulfate in 50 gallons (270 litres) water,
with 5 lbs (2.2kg) soda ash will neutralise 30 gallons
(165 litres) Liquibrom 2038).
(A634)
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Solutions should be neutralised with alkaline sodium
thiosulfate before discharge.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not recommended; however if used, a scrubber system to
remove nitrogen oxides, bromine and hydrogen bromide should
be fitted.
(A661)
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Neutralise before discharge with alkaline sodium thiosulfate
and dilute with a large volume of water. The sulfur
liberated can be removed by filtration, the other products
are inorganic bromine salts and a low molecular weight
amino-alcohol.
(A641)
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
