Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Remove to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult give oxygen.

If breathing ceases give artificial respiration.  If signs

of toxicity occur, seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush out eye(s) with copious amounts of water for at least

15 minutes.  If irritation persists seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing.  Thoroughly wash affected area

with copious amounts of water.  If signs of irritation occur

seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam

Product arising from burning: Carbon monoxide

Carbon dioxide

Sulphur dioxide

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Standard fire-fighting equipment and self-contained

breathing apparatus should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: As a minimum precaution an organic vapour respirator with

dust/mist prefilter, chemical safety goggles and butyl

rubber/Neoprene gloves should be worn when cleaning a spill.

A disposable suit and self-contained breathing apparatus

should be worn for cleaning large spills.  Sweep material

onto paper.  Place in a fibre drum.  The spill area should

be ventilated and decontaminated after the material has been

picked up.

Handling and storage

Handling: Safety spectacles/goggles and butyl rubber or Neoprene

gloves should be worn.  Local exhaust ventilation should be

used in areas where the substance is handled.  NIOSH

approved organic vapour respirators with dust/mist

prefilters should be used.  Hands and face should be

thoroughly washed after handling.

Storage: Store in sealed, unbreakable containers in a cool, dry place

away from light.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with strong oxidisers.

Chemical reaction with water: None known

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: D,L-Ester is consumed in the drug synthesis reaction in

which it is employed.  Significant residual levels in

reactor effluent are not expected.  No practical method of

recovery or recycling is known.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No method of chemical neutralisation is known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Acceptable provided that a closed-cycle incinerator with

scrubbers is employed.  National regulations must be

observed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Basic hydrolysis (pH> 8.0) and subsequent biological

degradation in a waste water treatment plant is recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: Not recommended.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: D,L-Ester is not intended for public use.
