Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Eyes: Wash with water.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Combustion products may contain oxides of carbon, nitrogen
and sulphur together with hydrogen fluoride gas and some
soot. Water mist, foam, carbon dioxide and dry powder can
be used as extinguishing agents.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Powder: Collect up and, dispose of at a registered landfill
site or incinerate, using waste-gas scrubbers for NOx and
acids?, at an authorised installation. Solution: Mop up
with absorbent material then, incinerate at an authorised
installation or, dispose of at a registered landfill site

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid dust formation. If a dust is produced take adequate
measures to avoid inhalation. [UK c.a.: Engineering
controls should be used to control dust levels before a
dust mask etc. is considered].

Storage: No special precautions.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None reported. [UK c.a.: Cases of respiratory sensitisation
have been observed with reactive dyes and care should be
taken to avoid dust inhalation. Should an individual become
sensitised a doctor should be consulted and all contact
with reactive dyes should cease immediately.]

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not possible: substance hydrolyses during use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at a controlled site is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Possible but NB halogen-containing [UK c.a.: waste gas
purification to remove NOx, SOx and acid fumes, should be
used]

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance will not biodegrade and will remain in the
purifier mud. Only 6% of the substance is not bound to
material after use.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: After dyeing a material, the substance is irreversibly
bound and cannot be recovered.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal of articles containing the substance, at a
controlled site, is possible.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Articles containing the dyestuff may be incinerated in a
suitable facility.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Significant amounts of the substance will not enter water
systems after application to textiles. Only 6% of the
substance is not bound to the material after use. Loss from
dyed material is minimal.
