Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

4.1. Description of first aid measures

General advice

First aider needs to protect himself. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Medical treatment is necessary if symptoms occur which are obviously caused by skin or eye contact with the product or by inhalation of its vapours.

Inhalation

Move subject to fresh air and keep him calm. See a physician.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs consult a physician.

Eye contact

Flush eyes thoroughly with a large amount of water and consult a physician.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Skin sensitizer

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

High volume water jet

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

May be released in case of fire: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic products of decomposition.

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Special fire fighting procedures:

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static discharges. Use explosion-proof equipment. In the event of fire, cool

the endangered containers with water. Vapours are heavier than air and can form an explosive mixture with air. When heated above the flash point

and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in air.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Assure sufficient ventilation. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away sources of ignition. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/mist/aerosol. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Prevent product from getting into drains/surface water/groundwater. Contain spilled product and prevent any contamination of soil, the sewer system or water bodies.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Larger quantities: Remove mechanically (by pumping). Use explosion-proof equipment! Smaller quantities and/or residues: Contain with absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid absorbent, universal absorbent or sawdust). Dispose of in accordance with regulations.

6.4. Reference to other sections

For personal protection see section 8. For disposal considerations see section 13.

Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Safe handling advice

Do not breathe vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Keep container tightly closed. Provide good room

ventilation even at ground level (vapours are heavier than air). Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static

discharges. Use explosion-proof equipment. In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with water. Vapours are heavier than air and can

form an explosive mixture with air. When heated above the flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in air.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Protect from the action of light. Fill the container by approximately 90 % only as oxygen (air) is required for stabilisation. With large storage containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure stability. Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C. Can polymerize with intense heat release.

7.3. Specific end use(s)

We are unaware of any specific end uses which go beyond the data reported in Section 1.

Disposal methods: Waste is hazardous. It must be disposed of in accordance with the

regulations after consultation of the competent local authorities and the

disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility. Strictly controlled

conditions during disposal or treatment to air, wastewater and waste. Do

not add wastewater to a biological wastewater treatment plant Bring

wastewater containing AOX for professional disposal. The waste key

number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List

(decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the

disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.

Contaminated Packaging: Contaminated packaging should ideally be emptied; it can then be recycled

after having been decontaminated. Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of professionally.

Uncontaminated packaging may be taken for recycling.
