Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: If symptomatic, remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical
attention if symptoms persist.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms
occur.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray or dry chemical extinguishers should be used.

Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may include oxides of carbon.

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. 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 landfill in accordance with
local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be handled and used in conditions of
good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local
regulations in order to avoid exposure by inhalation or
dermal contact.


Avoid contact with eyes. Wash skin thoroughly after
handling.


Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance. Adequate ventilation should be provided to
maintain dust concentrations below 10mg per cubic metre. 10
air changes per hour should be used.


When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.
Such protective equipmemt should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard prEN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard prEN166


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 dry well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with
oxidising materials and minimise dust production.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Packaging will range from plastic bottles to fibre kegs,
depending on the quantity required.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with oxidising materials.

Chemical reaction with water: None reported which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Powdered material may form explosive dust mixtures. Material
may accumulate a static charge which could act as an
ignition source.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Handling of the substance will be by trained operators and
will be kept to a minimum.


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 or landfill. 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 an
eye irritant. No chemical treatment is practicable to
neutralise this hazardous health property.


The potential dust hazard will be controlled as the
preparation as supplied does not dry out, and will be used
in conditions where ventilation will be adequate to maintain
dust concentrations below 10mg per cubic metre.

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 oxides)
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. Effects of the
substance on the aquatic environment and sewage system are
unknown.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable, the substance will not enter the public
domain.
