Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice : Seek medical advice.
If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air.
Skin contact: Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses.
Ingestion: Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side.Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms Up to now no symptoms are known.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemical
Dry sand
Limestone powderAlcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable extinguishing media: no data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide.
Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes.
Avoid disturbing dust accumulations that can create combustible or explosive clouds.
Potential dust explosion hazard.
Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Mixing any dust that can propagate a deflagration with flammable vapor will increase the hazard rating. Where explosive dusts are contained in equipment, that equipment should contain adequate explosion relief vents, explosion suppression systems, or an oxygen-deficient atmosphere.
Care should be taken to prevent the escape of dust from horizontal surfaces.
The dust class is ST-1. The minimum explosive concentration (MEC) ranges from 70g/m3 to 100g/m3. Engineering
controls designed to maintain dust below 10mg/m3 will mitigate the risk of explosion.
Advice for firefighters
Use personal protective equipment.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing.
Environmental precautions
Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Place in appropriate chemical waste container. Call Emergency Response number for advice.
If possible, stop flow of product.
Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Non-sparking tools should be used.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling : Use personal protective equipment.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during use.
Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible.
Adhere to work practice rules established by government regulations.
Do not breathe vapours/dust.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations.
Ensure that equipment meets appropriate electrical classification requirements including dust tight enclosures and explosion-proof fixtures where appropriate.
Refer to NFPA 654, Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids, for safe handling guidance.
Care should be taken to prevent the escape of dust from horizontal surfaces.
Mixing any dust that can propagate a deflagration with flammable vapor will increase the hazard rating. Where explosive dusts are contained in equipment, that equipment should contain adequate explosion relief vents, explosion suppression systems, or an oxygen-deficient atmosphere.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Hygiene measures: Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
General protective measures: Wash hands at the end of each workshift and before eating, smoking or using the
toilet.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Information: No special measures required.
Storage Information: Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls: Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to ensure concentrations are kept below exposure limits.All dust control equipment for this product should contain explosion relief vents or an explosion suppression system or an oxygen-deficient environment.
Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).
Keep the material away from sparks, static discharge, and flame.
Eye protection: Chemical safety glasses.
Dust resistant safety goggles.
Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Nitrile rubber
Polyvinyl Alcohol Gloves (PVA).
Body Protection: protective clothing
Respiratory protection: Respirator must be worn if exposed to dust.
Stability and reactivity
Stable under normal conditions.
Incompatible materials:
Oxidizing agents
Alcohols
Mixture reacts slowly with water resulting in evolution of CO2.
Reaction with water or contaminants or excessive heat may result in sufficient pressure to burst container.
Hazardous decomposition products
Carbon monoxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Disposal considerations
Product Contact supplier if guidance is required.
Contaminated packaging: Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state, and local requirements.
