Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of first aid measures

General notes:

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

In case of inhalation:

Move individual to fresh air. If not breathing, provide artificial respiration assistance (mouth-to-mouth) and call a physician immediately.

In case of skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothing and clean before reuse.  Wash all exposed areas of skin with plenty of soap and water.  Get medical attention if irritation develops.

In case of eye contact:

Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for 15 minutes.  See an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) or other physician immediately.

In case of ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center.  If available, administer activated charcoal (6-8 heaping teaspoons) with two to three glasses of water.  Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Immediately transport to a medical care facility and see a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Use water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, or Halon.

Hazardous combustion products:

May emit toxic chloric and fluoride fumes when exposed to heat or fire.

Advice for firefighters

Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel:

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.

For emergency responders:

If spills: Use double pairs of latex disposable gloves which must be disposed of within an hour, goggles, impermeable body covering, and approved HEPA-filtered or supplied-air respirator.  If material spills occur in production area, use either wet clean-up methods, ensuring that no airborne dusts or aerosols are formed, or appropriate vacuum cleaners having high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

6.3.1 For containment: Sweep up and place into a dry, closed container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).

6.3.2 For cleaning up: Collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Protective measures: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Advice on general occupational hygiene: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Use personal protective equipment as required.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Technical measures and storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed. Store in cool dry place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls

Substance/mixture related measures to prevent exposure during identified uses: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Personal protection equipment

Eye and face protection: Chemical goggles and/or face shield.

Skin protection: Impermeable body covering to minimize skin contact.

Hand protection: Use chemical-resistant gloves.

Other skin protection: Take other appropriate precautions.

Respiratory protection: When the exposure guidelines may be exceeded, use an approved HEPA-filtered or supplied-air respirator.

Thermal hazards: May emit toxic chloric and fluoride fumes when exposed to heat or fire.

Instruction measures to prevent exposure:

For appropriate handling precautions in specific laboratory, manufacturing, or clinical health care operations: consult with a health and safety or technical services representative.  

For all work environments: wear eye protection, avoid skin contact, wear gloves, and take other appropriate precautions.  

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability:

Stable at normal temperatures and pressures.

Hazardous decomposition products:

May emit toxic fluoride and chloride fumes when heated to decomposition.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment-relevant information:

To avoid accidental exposure due to waste handling, place waste residue in a segregated, sealed plastic container.  Used syringes, needles, and sharps should not be crushed, clipped, or recapped, but placed directly into an approved sharps container.  Dispose of any cleanup materials and waste residue according to all applicable laws and regulations, e.g., secure chemical landfill disposal.
