Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

First-aid measures

Eye Contact - rinse continuously with water for at least 10 minutes

Skin Contact - shower immediately and removed contaminated clothing

Inhalation - Fresh air and rest

Ingestion - Rinse mouth with water and give small amounts of water to drink.  Never give an unconscious patient water to drink.  Do not induce

vomitting.  Seek immediate medical attention

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media - carbon dioxide, foam, powder and water fog/spray

Special fire fighting procedure - Material decomposes at high temperatures, giving off acrid fumes: therefore breathing apparatus should be worn

Accidental release measures

Recover material if possible.  Also absorb spilled substance in sand or inert substance and remove to a safe place.  Prevent material entering drains with absorbent socks and drain protectors.  After absorption and recovery, wash away traces with large amounts of water.  Any absorbent material used to mop up a spill to be disposed of in a closed metal container.

Protective equipment to be worn for large spill (>30 litres) - Chemical splash resistant overalls, wellingtons, chemical resistant PVC gauntlets and

visor

Protective equipment to be worn for small spill (<30 litres) - industrial overalls, boots, chemical resistant PVC gauntlets and

visor

Handling and storage

Use in well ventilated areas.  Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.  Open and handle containers with care.  Store in original containers.  Avoid excessive breathing of vapours.  Avoid accumulation of static charge, especially in high mixing systems.  Emergency shower and eyewash should be close by.  

Store away from oxidising agents.  This product may attack concrete surfaces, particularly in the presence of water

Exposure controls / personal protection

Ventilation - no special ventilation unless used in spray form.  If a spray form is used, suitable ventilation is required.  However engineering controls should be aimed for to prevent the need for ventilation.

Protective equipment for normal operation

Breathing - no protection required

Gloves - protective gloves/gauntlets made of PVC

Eye - wear close fitting goggles or visor when handling, e.g. sampling

Other - wear normal industrial workwear to prevent skin contact

Stability and reactivity

Stability to heat - Stable up to at least 180C, then progressive charring

Reactivity - reacts with strong oxidising agents

Reaction with water - very slow hydrolysis to acetic acid and phenyl ethyl alcohol can occur

Polymerisation hazard - none

Disposal considerations

Waste product - recycle if possible, but if not, then incinerate or send to a treatment plant.

Packaging - Steel drums can be cleaned and re-used if in good condition, or recycle as scrap metal.
