Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Eyes:

Irrigate eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice.

Skin:

Remove contaminated clothing immediately and drench affected skin with plenty of water. Then wash affected areas with soap and water. Wash affected clothing before re-use.

Ingestion:

Seek immediate medical attention.

Inhalation:

Bring affected person to fresh air. If adverse reactions develop or if exposure was moderate or high, seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agents:

Common extinguishing agents such as water fog, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical or dry sand can be used.

Products arising from burning or pyrolysis:

Nitrogen and carbon dioxides; chlorine oxide; iron oxide.

Does this information derive from tests carried out on the substance? No

Protective equipment:

In the event of fire, full breathing apparatus including a chemical cartridge respirator with a carbon monoxide cartridge should be worn.

Accidental release measures

In case of industrial spillage, shut off all ignition sources. Isolate spilled substance  (during this avoid generation of airborne particles); collect the material using paper towels and place those to a closed container for disposal. Wear suitable protective clothing and damp down material before collection and transfer to suitable containers for disposal by incineration  and landfill. Wash down contaminated areas with plenty of water, using containment to avoid washings reaching drains or surface waters. Totally dispose of according to EU, national and local regulations  (authorized waste processing: deposit or combustion).

Handling and storage

Handling:

- Observe general precautions for use of chemical products

- Wear standard protective clothes and instruments

- Keep storage container closed and store in a cool area

- Avoid breathing substance aerosols

- Wash thoroughly after handling

- Ensure correct function of ventilation system

- Minimize generation of airborne particles by handling the substance only at specified sites of the factory

Stability and reactivity

Dust explosion not expected.

Disposal considerations

Substance:

Waste resulting from processing is negligible as the substance is given directly from the package to the vessel. Waste can be incinerated.

Preparation:

Preparation processing: A small quantity of waste generated during filling of the cartrdge/plastic bottles is expected to be disposed of by a licensed contractor. There is potential waste production during recycling of printer paper.

Cartridge filling: During filling of the cartridge/plastic bottles, it is estimated that <2% of the toner will be disposed of as waste by an industrial waste company. Up to 160 cartrdges are filled per week, each containing up to 0.5 kg of the toner. This equates to 500 g x 0.02 x 0.02 = 0.0002 kg of test substance per batch, i.e. 0.03 kg of test substance per week.

cartridge use: Approximately 4-10 g of test substance is present in a toner per copy machine. The time in which this is released depends on the use of the machine (number of copies). There is also potential waste production as a result of recycling of printed paper.
