Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size
Justification for type of information:
The substance has low vapour pressure and is supplied in viscous liquid form. There is no oportunity for creation of aerosols or spray during use.

It is important to note that although the substance itself is assessed as low vapour pressure and as non-hazardous for health, stored product may contain hydrogen sulphide at over 0.1% and controls must be in place to protect workers if hydrogen sulphide is detected.  Therefore, when opening sealed containers, it is recommended to do so with care and where there is good flow of air away from the operator (eg if indoors, forced ventilation or extract ventilation).  Where this is not possible, personal protection is required suitable to control hydrogen sulphide gas.  

Workplace monitoring for hydrogen sulphide is also recommended
