Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with running water, lifting the upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical

attention if irritation persists after washing.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Get immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, dry sand.

Product arising from burning: Oxides of carbon.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards.

Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.

Dispose of waste material by incineration in accordance with

local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure by contact

and inhalation.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment (i.e. chemical

protective glasses, chemical resistant clothing, eye

protection and organic vapour mask)should be worn. Such

protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards.

These should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, flammable liquid

storage area or cabinet.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 20 litre steel can and 200 litre steel drum.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Handling of the substance will be by trained operators and

will be kept to a minimum.

Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be

possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated

material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is

harmful by oral exposure and is potentially mutagenic and

therefore considered hazardous to health.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous health properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by

incineration or landfill at an authorised tip in accordance

with local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg carbon oxides)

could be formed.

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

tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment.However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.
