Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: No special requirements needed. Water is recommended for

fires involving packaging.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

oxides and chlorine containing compounds).

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: Fence or cordon the affected area and do not allow

individuals to touch or walk through the spilled material

unless wearing appropriate protective equiment. Avoid dust

generation.

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, surface drainage

systems and poorly ventilated areas. If spill is outdoors,

cover with plastic sheet to minimise spreading or contact

with rain.

Collect and place in a suitable, properly labelled container

for recovery or disposal. Following removal of spillage,

wash down spillage area with copious amounts of water only

if waste water can be directed to an on-site waste water

treatment system.

No specific decontamination or detoxification procedures

have been identified for this material. Consider the use of

water, detergent solutions, or other soluble solvents for

clean-up and decontamination operations.

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.

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 protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

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, such as a

dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Keep in tightly closed containers or packages away from

sources of ignition.

Avoid prolongued storage at elevated temperatures (greater

than room temperature, approximately 20 deg C).

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Anti-static liners in fibreboard drums.

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

sensitising. There were also concerns over potential

mutagenicity due to a positive result in an Ames study and a

mouse lymphoma assay, however, these have been mitigated by

a negative result in a mouse micronucleus assay. No

chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous health properties.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

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

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 and chlorine containing compunds) could be

formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects  on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

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: None known.
