Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or
ceases, give oxygen or resuscitation. Keep the patient warm
and at rest. Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing,
preferably whilst under a shower. Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Wash out mouth and drink plenty of water. Seek medical
attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Suitable extinguishing agents are foam, carbon dioxide, dry
powder and water.
Product arising from burning: Combustion products may contain carbon and sulfur oxides.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Full protective equipment should be used.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from area.
Wear protective clothing (cf 2.3.1).
Avoid dust formation. Collect material by mechanical means
(approved, sealed, spark-insulated industrial vacuum
machine) and place in labelled containers for disposal by
incineration (or possible recovery). Solutions of the
substance should be controlled by dams before being absorbed
on inert material (eg sand or soil) before collection and
disposal as above. Remove ignition sources from site of
spilt solution.
After collecting waste, clean the spillage area with plenty
of water and, if necessary, thoroughly ventilate the
location before allowing personnel to return.
Handling and storage
Handling: Use engineering controls to reduce exposure to the
substance. The substance should be handled in enclosed plant
with local exhaust ventilation. Avoid exposure by ingestion,
inhalation and skin and eye contact.
If exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled,
use personal protective equipment rubber or plastic gloves
(BS 1651), knee length rubber boots (BS 1870) and full
protective clothing, together with eye/face protection (eg
goggles and visor). When respiratory protection has to be
used, it should be suitable for the purpose and conform to
appropriate international standards. An air-fed plastic suit
(CA/26/91-6266 or CA/25/91-6250), air hood or breathing
apparatus is suitable. A dust mask is adequate when handling
small quantities.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container (eg double
polyethylene bag inside a clearly labelled keg). Keep
containers tightly closed when not in use.

Chemical reaction with water: Hydrolysis will occur to give ring opened products (eg

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery of uncontaminated material for reuse may be
possible. Otherwise, recovery for reuse is not possible.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance may be hydrolysed and treated with base in
order to reduce the hazardous properties.
(A632)
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Dispose of by incineration at an approved facility equipped
with waste gas treatment to remove sulfur oxides. (A661)
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance is not normally discharged to sewage systems.
No unfavourable effects have been identified at the
base-set, therefore, adverse effects are not envisaged if
the substance should find its way into a sewage treatment
system.
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
