Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention. If not breathing, clear airway and start artificial respiration. If victim is having trouble breathing, give supplemental oxygen, if available.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Get immediate medical attention. If physician is not available, flush for an additional 15 minutes then transport victim to medical care.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with plenty of running water, and soap if available, for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention. Wash clothing and decontaminate shoes before reuse.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If swallowed, immediately give 3 - 4 glasses of milk (if unavailable, give water). DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, give fluid again. Get immediate medical attention. Have physician determine if patient's condition allows for induction of vomiting or evacuation of the stomach. Do not give anything by mouth to a convulsing or unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical and water.

Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray.

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

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

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: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Floors may become slippery.

Wear appropriate protectve equipment and respirator where

mists or vapours of unknown concentrations may be generated.

Dyke and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth,

etc.) and transfer the substance to containers for recovery

or disposal. Keep spill out of sewers and open bodies of water.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

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 by skin contact and inhalation.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance, including local exhaust ventilation.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn,

e.g. chemical suit, goggles, Wellington boots and chemical resistant gloves. Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate international or national standards.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate international or national standards.

Storage: Store in a dry cool environment away from sources of

ignition. Avoid extreme temperatures.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 200 kg steel PE-lined drums.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Use of usual industrial hygiene and personal protective measures.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None specified.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: There is no dust explosion potential as the substance is

supplied as an aqueous solution.

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. 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

harmful by acute oral ingestion and corrosive.

The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. No

chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the hazardous environmental properties.

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 and

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

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

the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None specified.

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.
