Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Eyes: Wash with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes, and

seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with plenty of water.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Symptomatic treatment. In all cases, remove contamined

clothing.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: In the event of fire, use water mist, foam or dry powder to

extinguish. Combustion products may contain carbon and

aluminium oxides. Wear a self-contained breathing

apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Observe any warning labels on the container and take

appropriate precautions. Contain and absorb spillages with

a suitable absorbent (sand, dry earth) and shovel into

waste containers for disposal at an approved tip or

incinerator.

Handling and storage

Handling: Normal standards of good housekeeping and industrial

hygiene should be observed to avoid exposure. In

particular, eye protection (goggles) should be worn.

Storage: No special precautions.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: On mixing with water, the substance rapidly hydrolyses to

lower molecular weight aliphatic alcohols and acids

together with aluminium hydroxide. The reaction is not

violent. See test 5.2.2

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance hydrolyses in contact with water. Recovery is

not possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance may be disposed of at a controlled tip.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration at an approved facility is possible (but

aluminum smoke may be generated.)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance is readily hydrolysed to lower molecular

weight alcohols and acids. Aluminium hydroxide will

precipitate from solution and,therefore, the aluminium will

not be readily available.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will be present only in preparations and is

not recoverable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: At the concentrations present in preparations, the

hazardous effects of the substance will be negligible. In

fact, some of the other components may be more hazardous.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal should be as for domestic paints etc.
