Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Move exposed person to fresh air. In case of indisposition

seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse with plenty of water. If irritation occurs, seek

medical advice.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Symptomatic treatment. In case of indisposition seek

medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

Product arising from burning: Combustion products may contain carbon, nitrogen, sulfur

oxydes and other derivatives.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear protective clothing (dust mask, safety goggles and

impermeable gloves).


Solids: Sweep up (wet powders with water) and place

in suitable containers for disposal.

Liquids: Absorb using an adequate absorbent (eg. kiesel-

gur, sand, saw dust, kieselgel), collect and

place in suitable containers for disposal.


Dispose of waste material in authorised incineration

facility.

Handling and storage

Handling: Observe the usual precautions for handling chemicals. If

the pure substance is handled as powder, avoid inhalation

of dust and wear dust mask. Use equipment for handling

powders or other appropriate engineering controls. Avoid

eye and skin contact and wear safety goggles and imper-

meable gloves.

Take precautionary measures against static charges.

Storage: The substance should be stored in well sealed and secure

containers in adequate rooms at room temperature.

Avoid residues outside the containers.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The commercial solid preparation is supplied in 25 kg

containers.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Not known.

Chemical reaction with water: No dangerous reaction with water.

Dust explosion: Not to be expected if handled under good industrial

hygiene practices. The dyestuff preparation will be marketed

as a non-dustable form.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Normal application results in the consumption of ca. 98%

by irreversible binding to the polyester fibres.

Therefore, recovery/recycling of the substance is not

possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not suitable for deposit in landfill site.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Code 661:

Incinerator with flue gas scrubbing.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Code 641:

Removal by controlled discharge to a waste water treatment

plant.


It is estimated that approx. 2% of the total quantity

used is discharged into internal industrial effluents as

highly diluted solution. A purification of the waste

water in a waste water treatment plant is recommended.

The dyestuff should be used in a well equiped dye house.

If necessary, the waster water can be purified prior to

the waste water treatment by membrane filtration or by

floculation with cationic agents or by treatment with

ozone. The most effective method is the membrane fil-

tration: more than 99% of the remaining dyestuff can be

removed from the waste water.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable.
