Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 the exposed subject is fully conscious, give

plenty of water to drink. Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: No special requirements needed. Water is recommended for

fires involving packaging.

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

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon oxides).

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: Personal Precautions:

Fence or cordon the affected area and do not allow

individuals to touch or walk through the spilled material

unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid dust

generation.

Environmental Precautions:

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, surface drainage

systems and poorly ventilated areas. If spill is outdoors,

cover with a plastic sheet to minimise spreading or contact

with rain.

Clean-up Methods:

Collect and place in a suitable, properly labelled container

for recovery or disposal. After all solid or absorbent

material has been collected, the area should be vacuumed

with HEPA filter-equipped apparatus.

Decontamination Procedures:

No specific decontamination or detoxification procedures

have been identified for this material. Consider use of

water, detergent solutions, or other soluble solvents, for

clean-up decontamination operations.

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.

General Requirements:

Avoid dispersion as a dust cloud.

Depending upon the scale of operation, the use of

appropriate exhaust ventilation is recommended to provide

routine control of fire and explosion hazards during

handling of this material.

Ignition Controls:

Bond and earth (ground) all plant equipment to ensure that

no isolated conductors are present. Isolated conductors can

accumulatee sufficient electrostatic charge to produce

discharges of many hundreds of milli-Joules.

Storage: Keep in tightly closed containers or packages away from

moisture and from sources of ignition.

Avoid prolonged storage at elevated temperatures (greater

than room temperature, approximately 20°C).

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Double polythene lined fibreboard kegs.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not

present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most

organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust

explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not

economically or technically feasible, and such waste

material will be disposed of by incineration or landfill. 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 not

classified at the VIIC level of notification.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

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

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can 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

oxides) could be formed.

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

tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None known.

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 known.
