Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information:
Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. First aider: Pay attention to self-protection! Remove affected person from the danger area and lay down.
Following inhalation:
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. In case of inhaling spray mist, consult a physician.
In case of skin contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.
After eye contact:
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist.
After ingestion:
If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Observe risk of aspiration if vomiting occurs.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) , Extinguishing powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Water . Reacts violently with water.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
In case of fire may be liberated: Hydrogen bromide (HBr) , Hydrogen chloride (HCl) , Carbon dioxide (CO2) , Carbon monoxide.
Advice for firefighters:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. Do not allow entering drains or surface water.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
For non-emergency personnel:
Remove all sources of ignition. Provide adequate ventilation. Use personal protection equipment.
For emergency responders:
Personal protection equipment:
Eye/face protection: goggles
Skin protection: When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing with CE-labels including the four control digits must be worn. Required properties : flame-retardant , antistatic. Draw up and observe skin protection programme.
Hand protection: Tested protective gloves must be worn . The quality of the protective gloves resistant to chemicals must be chosen as a function of the specific working place concentration and quantity of hazardous substances. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves.
Respiratory protection: If technical exhaust or ventilation measures are not possible or insufficient, respiratory protection must be worn. Suitable respiratory protection apparatus : Filtering device (full mask or mouthpiece) with filter: ABEK-P3 , Self-contained respirator (breathing apparatus) (DIN EN 133)
Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to enter into surface water or drains. Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
For containment:
Cover drains. Prevent spread over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers).
For cleaning up:
Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents). Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Use appropriate respiratory protection. Wear personal protection equipment (see above).
Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling:
Reaction systems must be sealed and operated in a closed state with venting only in accordance with Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) permit.
Check the equipment regularly and perform preventative maintenance to detect and repair leaks.
Loading from the storage to tankers must be done through a special loading system equipped with a vapor recovery system/extraction.
Use only in systems designed to ensure rigorous containment of the substance.
Flexible hoses/pipes must be emptied and purged with nitrogen before disconnecting.
All equipment (such as pumps, valves, compressors etc.) must be sealed.
Procedures are documented in a management system. Personnel must be trained, tested, supervised and equipped with specified personal protective equipment (PPE). Before maintenance and opening, the system must be washed with an organic solvent and purged with inert gas.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Storage tanks and reaction vessels must be provided with “inert gas blankets” to both reduce the risk of fire and control fugitive emissions.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Normal operation
Workers must use PPE as a good practice to minimise possible exposures from minor accidental leaks during loading and unloading the reaction vessel. Procedures are implemented for disposal or cleaning of contaminated PPE.
Accident and incidents a fully trained Emergency Response Team (ERT) must be in place to react in case of accidents and incidents resulting in unexpected releases of the intermediate in order to minimize risks of exposures to humans and the environment.
Maintenance and cleaning
Workers must use additional PPE for cleaning the reaction vessel. A short exposure may occur during a maintenance operation, involving opening of a section of the pipeline connecting the reactor with loading station due to accidental presence of a residue of diluted intermediate that may lead to skin exposure. As a result, workers must be given a specific work instruction on how to open this section, and are required to use high-efficiency PPE for skin and respiratory protection, as a precautionary and protective measure during all maintenance work, where there is a potential for exposure. PPE type must specified in the permit-to-work documents. Procedures must be in place for disposal or cleaning of contaminated PPE, as appropriate.

Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
