Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Inhalation: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, move

exposed subject to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or

ceases, ensure and maintain ventilation. Give oxygen as

appropriate. The exposed subject should be kept warm and at

rest. Obtain medical attention in cases of known or possible

over exposure, or with symptoms including chest pain,

difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness or other adverse

effects, which may be delayed.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash immediately with clean and gently flowing water.

Continue for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, remove

contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with large

amounts of water. Obtain medical attention if skin reaction

occurs, which may be immediate or delayed.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Never attempt to induce vomiting. Do not attempt to give any

solid or liquid by mouth if the exposed subject is

unconscious or semi-conscious. Wash out the mouth with

water. If exposed subject is fully conscious, give plenty of

water to drink. Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, dry powder or foam extinguisher.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

oxides and halogen containing compounds).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation. Absorb spillages of solutions with a

suitable inert material (eg. sand or soil). Carefully

transfer the spillage to waste containers, or use asealed

industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled with waste

material must be labelled in the same way as the original

substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with water only if waste water can

be directed to an on-site waste water tretment system.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the

appropriate international or national standards, such as a

dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store away from moisture and sources of ignition.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Double-lined fibre keg. 20 kg of material per bag.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will not occur. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. In principle, it  may be

possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated

material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is

harmful by acute and prolonged oral ingestion, and there are

concerns over mutagenicity which have been mitigated by a

negative in-vivo mouse micronucleus test. No chemical

treatment is practicable to neutralise the hazardous health

properties.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance should be disposed of by incineration by

burning under controlled conditions at a licensed waste

treatment processor in accordance with local regulations.

Stack gases should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg.

carbon and nitrogen oxides and halogen containing compounds)

could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

to the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
