Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Description of first aid measures: not specifically necessary. Observance of good industrial hygiene is recommended.
- Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: no episodes of damage to health ascribable to the product have been reported.
- Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: information not available.

Fire-fighting measures

- Extinguishing media:
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT: the extinguishing equipment should be of the conventional kind: carbon dioxide, foam, powder and water spray.
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT: none in particular.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
HAZARDS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE: do not breathe combustion products. The product is combustible and, when the powder is released into the air in sufficient concentrations and in the presence of a source of ignition, it can create explosive mixtures with air. Fires may start or get worse by leakage of the solid product from the container, when it reaches high temperatures or through contact with sources of ignition.
- Advice for firefighters:
GENERAL INFORMATION: use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for health. Always wear full fire prevention gear. Collect extinguishing water to prevent it from draining into the sewer system. Dispose of contaminated water used for extinction and the remains of the fire according to applicable regulations.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS: normal fire fighting clothing i.e. fire kit (BS EN 469), gloves (BS EN 659) and boots (HO specification A29 and A30) in combination with self-contained open circuit positive pressure compressed air breathing apparatus (BS EN 137).

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: if there are no contraindications, spray powder with water to prevent the formation of dust. Wear suitable protective equipment (including personal protective equipment referred to under Section Exposure controls/personal protection of the safety data sheet) to prevent any contamination of skin, eyes and personal clothing. These indications apply for both processing staff and those involved in emergency procedures.
- Environmental precautions: the product must not penetrate into the sewer system or come into contact with surface water or ground water.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: collect the leaked product and place it in containers for recovery or disposal. If the product is flammable, use explosion-proof equipment. Ifthere are no contraindications, use jets of water to eliminate product residues. Make sure the leakage site is well aired. Evaluate the compatibility of the container to be used, by checking section Stability and Reactivity. Contaminated material should be disposed of in compliance with the provisions set forth in Disposal considerations.
- Reference to other sections: any information on personal protection and disposal is given in sections Exposure controls/personal protection and Disposal considerations.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling: before handling the product, consult all the other sections of this material safety data sheet. Avoid leakage of the product into the environment. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: keep the product in clearly labelled containers. Keep containers away from any incompatible materials, see section Stability and Reactivity for details.
- Specific end use(s): information not available.

Exposure controls / personal protection

- Control parameters: during the risk assessment process, it is essential to take into consideration the ACGIH occupational exposure levels for inert particulate not otherwise classified (PNOC respirable fraction: 3 mg/m3; PNOC inhalable fraction: 10 mg/m3). For values above these limits, use a P type filter, whose class (1, 2 or 3) must be chosen according to the outcome of risk assessment.
- Exposure controls: comply with the safety measures usually applied when handling chemical substances.
HAND PROTECTION: none required.
SKIN PROTECTION: none required.
EYE PROTECTION: none required.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: use a type P filtering facemask, whose class (1, 2 or 3) and effective need, must be defined according to the outcome of risk assessment (see standard EN 149).
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS: the emissions generated by manufacturing processes, including those generated by ventilation equipment, should be checked to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

Stability and reactivity

- Reactivity: there are no particular risks of reaction with other substances in normal conditions of use.
- Chemical stability: the product is stable in normal conditions of use and storage.
- Possibility of hazardous reactions: the powders are potentially explosive when mixed with air.
- Conditions to avoid: avoid environmental dust build-up.
- Incompatible materials: information not available.
- Hazardous decomposition products information not available.

Disposal considerations

- Waste treatment methods: reuse, when possible. Neat product residues should be considered special non-hazardous waste. Disposal must be performed through an authorised waste management firm, in compliance with national and local regulations. Solid residues may be suitable for disposal in an authorised landfill site.
CONTAMINATED PACKAGING: contaminated packaging must be recovered or disposed of in compliance with national waste management regulations.
