Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: After the inhalation of the dust or the aerosol seek medical

advice.

Emergency measure - Eyes: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty

of water. Continue rinsing for several minutes, if necessary

seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of

water and soap. Contaminated clothing must be changed.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If swallowed, give the affected person great amounts of

water to drink and get medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: In fire situations use water, CO2 or dry extinguishing

material according to the extension of the fire and local

circumstances.

Product arising from burning: Formation of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon

dioxide possible during thermal decomposition.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Respiratory protection equipment and protective clothing

according to the fire situation.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Spilt powder or solidificated emulsion should be taken up

and should be stored in container. Take up spilt melted

product with absorbent and fill into container. Disposal in

accordance with local waste regulations, f. e. by

incineration.

Collect residues wet and fill it also into labelled waste

containers. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of the dust.

Provide the precaution measures described in 2.3.

Discharge of the waste containers according to local and

administrative regulations, e. g. by incineration in

appropiate plants.

Handling and storage

Handling: When handling observe the usual precautionary measures for

chemicals. Skin and eye contact must be avoided. Suitable

protection glasses, clothing and gloves are recommended.

Avoid formation of dust during handling. Keep away from food

and drink stuffs.

Storage: Substance: Store dry in tightly closed container (room

temperature). Avoid substance residues on the

container. Provide good hygiene.

Preparation: Store dry in tightly closed container

(+ 5 °C).

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery or reuse is practically not possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: If used as intended there is no danger.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Dumping on waste disposal sites insulated to prevent seepage

of liquids into the ground is possible if in accordance with

existing environmental legislation and applicable local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is the preferred and the recommended way of

destruction. The usual exhaust gases are formed by burning

compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Product is remaining in the layer of the photographic

material. Therefore, product only may come into waste water

during the cleaning process of the internal mixing and

coating units. In waste water treatment plants product is

eliminated by filtration or sedimentation onto the sludge.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The new substance as well as preparations containing the new

substance are only used at Agfa-Gevaert AG, Leverkusen, and

Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Belgium (manufacturing of photographic

films and papers). Used by the general public only in the

form of photographic materials. Therefore, recovery or reuse

is not possible.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: If used as intended there is no danger. Photographic

materials containing only very small quantities of the new

substance can be disposed with household refuse, discharged

on waste disposal sites or (the preferred method) destructed

by incineration.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: See 6.2.2.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: See 6.2.2.
