Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. In all cases get medical attention

and monitor victim for shock.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately irrigate with large quantities of water for at

least 15 minutes

Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately remove clothing and wash with large quantities

of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: To extinguish a fire use water, carbon dioxide, foam or dry

chemical.

Product arising from burning: Nitrogen and carbon oxides may be formed together with

halogen containing products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: A self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Do not touch spilled material.

Wet spills: Deactivate with sodium bisulfite or sodium

thiosulfate at pH greater than seven. Flush away in

accordance with local waste water regulations. Absorption

after deactivation and neutralisation with sand followed by

disposal (as for a dry spill) is also possible.

Dry spill: Colect in a clean, dry container. Deactivate

spill area as in a wet spill. Dispose of solid waste

according to local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: Personnel handling product must use impervious gloves,

safety goggles and respiratory equipment (dry dust masks,

full face masks with Wilson G-8 canisters or self contained

breathing apparatus depending on the dust levels). Avoid

contact with all oxidisable substances, acids, alkalis,

hydrates and water.

Storage: Store in a cool dry place isolated from all organic

material. Product is a strong oxidiser and is corrosive.

Avoid heat or direct sunlight.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Not given, 6th amendment notification.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Contact with oxidisable materials presents a fire hazard.

Chemical reaction with water: Hydrolysis releases hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite ion

(and hence ultimately chlorine gas).

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: None

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Neutralise the substance by using sodium hydroxide (20%) to

adjust a solution of sodium metabisulphite to ph8 and then

add the hydantoin. Maintain the solution at a pH greater

than 7.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance should not be discharged to waterways or waste

treatment plants. The residues obtained following

deactivation (see 6.1.2) may be discharged in accordance

with local regulations

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be incinerated. Suitable stack scrubbers

should be employed.

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

purification station unless it has been deactivated.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: None

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Neutralise the substance by using sodium hydroxide (20%) to

adjust a solution of sodium metabisulphite to ph8 and then

add the hydantoin. Maintain the solution at a pH greater

than 7.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance should not be discharged to waterways or waste

treatment plants. The residues obtained following

deactivation (see 6.1.2) may be discharged in accordance

with local regulations

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be incinerated. Suitable stack scrubbers

should be employed.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not be discharged directly to a water

purification station unless it has been deactivated.
