Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- General advice:

Move into fresh air and keep at rest. Get medical attention immediately.

- Following inhalation:

Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.

- Following skin contact:

Wash area with soap and water.

- Following eye contact:

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

- Following ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

- Most important symptoms and effects: Product may hydrolyse upon contact with body fluids in the gastrointestinal tract to produce additional methanol; therefore, consider the signs/symptoms of methanol poisoning and also observe the known latency period of several days!

- Treatment:       Get medical attention immediately. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.

Fire-fighting measures

- General Fire Hazards: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide Dry chemical.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In case of fire, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide may be formed.

- Advice for fire fighter: Take precautionary measures against static discharges. To prevent and minimize fire or explosion risk from static accumulation and discharge, effectively bond and/or ground product transfer system.

- Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid contact with liquid and vapors. Use personal protective equipment. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

- Environmental precautions:

Do not allow runoff to sewer, waterway or ground.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Absorb spillage with suitable absorbent material. Shovel up and place in a container for salvage or disposal.

- Remove sources of ignition. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces.

- Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section: Disposal considerations.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Do not taste or swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash hands after handling. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust and vapors.

- Storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Exposure controls / personal protection

- Appropriate Engineering Controls: Provide eyewash station and safety shower. General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory if handled at low temperatures or in covered equipment. Provide adequate ventilation if fumes or vapors are generated.

- General information: Use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Wash hands after handling. Practice good housekeeping.

- Eye/face protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166

- Hand Protection: Advice: Protective gloves made of : Neoprene Nitrile rubber. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

- Body protection: Safety shoes, Wear suitable protective clothing.

- Respiratory Protection: Respirator with a vapour filter (EN 141) Avoid inhalation of vapors. In case of inadequate ventilation, use air-supplied full-mask.

- Hygiene measures: Avoid contact with eyes. When using do not smoke. Wash thoroughly after handling.

- Environmental exposure controls: No release to wastewater from process as such, wastewater emissions limited to release generated from final equipment cleaning step using water

Stability and reactivity

- Chemical stability

: Material is stable under normal conditions.

- Possibility of hazardous reactions

: Hazardous polymerisation does not occur.

- Conditions to avoid:

Moisture.

- Incompatible materials:

Strong oxidizing agents. Acids.

- Hazardous decomposition products: In case of fire, gives off (emits): Carbon oxides Oxides of silicon. Measurements at temperatures above 150°C in presence of air (oxygen) have shown that small amounts of formaldehyde are formed due to oxidative degradation.

Disposal considerations

- General information: See Section Exposure controls/personal protection for information on appropriate personal protective equipment. The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

- Disposal methods: Can be incinerated when in compliance with local regulations.
