Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

SECTION 4: First aid measures

IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Ensure that medical personnel are aware

of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.

General information

4.1. Description of first aid measures

If exposed to excessive levels of dusts or fumes, remove to fresh air and get medical attention if

cough or other symptoms develop. If breathing is difficult, trained personnel should give oxygen.

Inhalation

Skin contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Eye contact

If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). IF SWALLOWED:

Immediately call a POISON CENTRE or doctor/physician. Do not induce vomiting without advice

from poison control center.

Ingestion

4.2. Most important symptoms

and effects, both acute and

delayed

Dusts may irritate the respiratory tract, skin and eyes.

4.3. Indication of any

immediate medical attention

and special treatment needed

No specific antidotes are recommended. Treat according to locally accepted protocols. For

additional guidance, refer to the current prescribing information or to the local poison control

information centre.

Fire-fighting measures

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

General fire hazards

5.1. Extinguishing media

This material will support combustion. May form explosible dust-air mixture if dispersed.

Suitable extinguishing

media: Water. Foam. Dry chemical powder.

Unsuitable extinguishing

media

Carbon dioxide (CO2).

5.2. Special hazards arising

from the substance or mixture

Explosion hazard: Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations and

in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Toxic, corrosive or

flammable thermal decomposition products, which might include chlorine compounds, are

expected when the material is exposed to fire.

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Special protective

equipment for firefighters

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Special fire fighting

procedures: Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Apply extinguishing media carefully to

avoid creating airborne dust.

Specific methods

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

Accidental release measures

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Use only

non-sparking tools. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may

form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.

Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal

protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

For non-emergency

personnel

For emergency responders

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the

SDS.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take

precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid dispersal of

dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Collect dust using a vacuum

cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk.

Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

6.3. Methods and material for

containment and cleaning up

Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste

container. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use.

Handling and storage

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe

handling

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Avoid significant deposits of

material, especially on horizontal surfaces, which may become airborne and form combustible dust

clouds and may contribute to secondary explosions. Dry powders can build static electricity

charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations.  Provide adequate

precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Ground/bond

container and receiving equipment. Minimise the use of plastics when handling this material. Avoid

prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial

hygiene practices.

7.2. Conditions for safe

storage, including any

incompatibilities

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and

well-ventilated place. Use care in handling/storage. Store away from incompatible materials (see

Section 10 of the SDS).

7.3. Specific end use(s)

Isolated Chemical Intermediate.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Biological limit values

Not available.

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).

Recommended monitoring

procedures

Derived no effect levels

(DNELs)

Not available.

Predicted no effect

concentrations (PNECs)

Not available.

8.2. Exposure controls

Ventilate as needed to control airborne dust. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment if airborne

dust levels are high. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering

controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.

Appropriate engineering

controls

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Use personal protective equipment as required.

General information

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). (e.g. EN 166). Eye wash fountain is

recommended.

Eye/face protection

Skin protection

- Hand protection

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Select suitable chemical resistant protective gloves

(EN 374) with a protective index 6 (>480min permeation time). The choice of an appropriate glove

does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one

producer to the other. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Glove selection

must take into account any solvents and other hazards present.

- Other

When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate

certified respirators. Where breathable aerosols/dust are formed, use suitable combination filter for

gases/vapours of organic, inorganic, acid inorganic, alkaline compounds and toxic particles (eg.

EN 14387).

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. (EN 14605 for splashes, EN ISO 13982 for dust).

Respiratory protection

Thermal hazards

Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material

and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking.  Routinely wash work clothing and protective

equipment to remove contaminants. For advice on suitable monitoring methods, seek guidance

from a qualified environment, health and safety professional.

Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
