Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Supply fresh air. Apply mouth-to mouth resuscitation or mechanical ventilation if necessary. Consult doctor.

Use a respiration bag or breathing device.

In case of unconsciousness bring patient into stable side position for transport.

up to cardiac arrest

Danger of urine retention

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

Monitor circulation, possible shock treatment.

Possibly oxygen respiration treatment

Monitoring or correction of vital functions.

At the first sign of change in mental status, oxygen should be administered.

The first step in the management of systemic toxic reactions, as well as underventilation or apnea due to

unintentional subarachnoid injection of drug solution, consists of immediate attention to the establishment

and maintenance of a patent airway and effective assisted or controlled ventilation with 100% oxygen with a

delivery system capable of permitting immediate positive airway pressure by mask. Circulation should be

assisted as necessary. This may prevent convulsions if they have not already occurred.

If necessary, use drugs to control convulsions. Intravenous barbiturates, anticonvulsant agents, or muscle

relaxants should only be administered by those familiar with their use. Immediately after the institution of

these ventilatory measures, the adequacy of the circulation should be evaluated. Supportive treatment of

circulatory depression may require administration of intravenous fluids, and, when appropriate, a

vasopressor dictated by the clinical situation (such as ephedrine or epinephrine to enhance myocardial

contractile force).

If difficulty is encountered in the maintenance of a patent airway or if prolonged ventilatory support (assisted

or controlled) is indicated, endotracheal intubation, employing drugs and techniques familiar to the clinician,

may be indicated after initial administration of oxygen by mask.

Fire-fighting measures

- 5.1 Extinguishing media

- Suitable extinguishing agents

CO2, extinguishing powder or water jet. Fight larger fires with water jet or alcohol-resistant foam.

- 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

the chemical mixture.

Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the

degradation

- Material of gloves

The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality

and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
