Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Remove victim to fresh air. Symptomatic treatment. Seek
medical attention if symptoms persist.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash the skin with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical
attention if irritation persists.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Symptomatic treatment. Seek medical
attention immediately if victim feels unwell.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Carbon dioxide, dry powder, water spray.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon, nitrogen and sulfur
oxides, and chlorine and sodium containing compounds).
However, there is no experimental evidence to support the
anticipated combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

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

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 by damping down with water. 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 containers.


Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.


Dispose of waste material by incineration or landfill in
accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in
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.


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 as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166


When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be
used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.


The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a
minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance will be packaged in 25kg cardboard boxes.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Precautions: The substance should be handled under conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local regulations in order to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Technical Measures: Engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation should be used in order to reduce exposure to the substance.

Personal protection:
Personal Protective Equipment: The provision of personal protective equipment and the need to provide engineering control measures should be decided upon by the user as part of a formal exposure risk assessment. Based upon the available toxicological information the protective measures described below should be regarded as a minimum.

Respiratory Protection: Based upon current information and in the absence of occupational exposure limits the use of a dust mask to a minimum standard of EN149 FFP1 is recommended.


Hand Protection: Chemical protective gloves to a Standard EN374 should be provided. Usage periods should not exceed the breakthrough times for the chemical stated by the manufacturer of the glove.


Eye Protection: Eye protection should be used when handling the substance. The protection should be capable of giving chemical protection as classified in EN166.


Skin Protection: Handling of the material should be done wearing chemical protective clothing suitable for protection
against the chemical as classified by Standard EN368.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None.

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from this organic
powder.

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 as small print dyehouse effluent. In principle,
it may be possible to recover larger spillages of
uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The potential dust explosion hazard will be controlled by
appropriate storage and handling techniques.


The potential respiatory sensitisation hazard will be
controlled by workers wearing appropriate respiratory
protective equipment in order to avoid exposure to dust.
Dust generation will be minimised.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with
inert material (eg sand or soil) may 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 and sulfur oxides, as well as chlorine-containing
compounds) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,
adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be
unlikely.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable since the substance will not be made
available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable since the substance will not be made
available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable since the substance will not be made
available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable since the substance will not be made
available to the public.

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