Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Inhalation: If inhaled, provide fresh air, warmth, rest and if necessary
seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately wash out eye thoroughly with plenty of water
until irritation subsides. If necessary (e.g. irritation
persists) consult an eye specialist/opthalmologist.
Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately wash contaminated skin with soap and large
quantities of water. If necessary, seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: To suit local surroundings (e.g. water spray, carbon
dioxide, foam, chemical powder)

Product arising from burning: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus must be worn.


Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to
the relevant national or international standards, as
mentioned in section 2.3.10.


Avoid dust formation. Absorb spillages of solutions with a
suitable inert material (eg. sand or soil). Carefully
transfer the spillage to waste containers, or use a sealed
industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled with waste
material must be labelled in the same way as the original
substance containers.


Clean the spillage area with soap and water. Dispose of
waste material in accordance with local regulations.


Do not allow to get into waste water or waterways; if this
occurs, inform the relevant water authority at once.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.



Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance, including adequate ventilation of working area.



When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.



Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards



Chemical protective gloves



Chemical protective clothing



Eye protection



Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be
used, it must be capable of adequately controlling
exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the
appropriate international or national standards.




These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Ensure adequate ventilation of the storage area. Keep
containers tightly closed and dry.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: A 50kg fibreboard drum is used to house two 8kg polythene
bags of product inside a separate FDA approved polythene
liner.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None reported.

Chemical reaction with water: None reported.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not
present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most
organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust
explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from
minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically
or technically feasible, and such waste material will be
disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be
possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated
material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is
irritating to eyes. No chemical treatment is practicable to
neutralise the hazardous health properties.



The dust hazard will be minimised by good industrial
practise.


The notification tests have shown that the substance is
harmful to aquatic organisms. No chemical treatment is
practicable to neutralise the hazardous environmental
properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed
with inert material (eg. sand or soil) should be
disposed of by landfill at an authorised tip in accordance
with local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and
nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not be discharged directly to the
sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.
