Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of first aid measures
Skin
Wash with plenty of soap and water. Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. For contact with molten
product, do not remove contaminated clothing. Flush skin immediately with large amounts of cold water. If possible submerge area in cold water. Pack with ice.
Eyes
If hot, melted material should splash into the eyes, flush eyes immediately with water for 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. See a physician for treatment.
Inhaled
Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed.
Swallowed
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Get immediate medical attention. Rinse mouth. Call a poison center or doctor if exposed or you feel unwell.
Advice for first-aid providers
When providing first aid always protect yourself against exposure to chemicals or blood born diseases by wearing gloves, masks and eye protection. After
providing first aid wash your exposed skin with soap and water.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See section “Toxicological Information”.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
If exposed or concerned: Get medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media
CO2, dry chemical, foam, water spray, water fog. Water can be used to cool and protect exposed material.

Special hazards arising from substance or mixture
Burning may produce irritating, toxic and obnoxious fumes. Container may rupture in a fire situation. Material may accumulate static charge. DO NOT USE a solid stream of water. See section 10 for additional information.

Advice for firefighters
Recommend wearing self- contained breathing apparatus. Do not use a water jet. A solid stream of water will spread the burning material. Do not release chemically contaminated water into drains, soil or surface water.

Accidental release measures

Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Only trained personnel should be permitted in area. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Personal protective equipment must be worn. Ventilate area if spilled in a confined space or other poorly ventilated area.

Environmental precautions
Take precautions to avoid release to the environment. Do not flush into surface water, sanitary sewer or ground water system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Use non- sparking tools. If molten material is spilled, allow it to cool and solidify, then collect for recycle / disposal. Shovel up and physically remove to waste containers. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material. Place in metal containers for recovery or disposal.

Reference to other sections
See sections “Exposure Controls/Personal Protection” and “Toxicological Information”.

Handling and storage

Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling
Contact with heated material may cause thermal burns. Do not discharge into drains or the environment, dispose to an authorized waste collection point. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapors or spray. Avoid inhalation of dust, aerosol, mist, spray, fume, or vapor. Use with appropriate and adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only outdoors or in a well- ventilated area.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Empty container contains product residue which may exhibit hazards of product. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Dispose of packaging or containers in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.

Pumping Temperature
Not determined.

Maximum Handling Temperature
< 175 °C, < 347 °F

Maximum Loading Temperature
Not determined.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilites
Store separately from oxidizers. Take precautions to avoid release to the environment. Store in a cool, dry, well- ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use. See section 10 for incompatible materials.

Maximum Storage Temperature
Not determined.

Specific end use(s)
End uses are listed in an attached exposure scenario when one is required.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Control parameters
None known.

Other Exposure Limits
None known.

Exposure controls
Prevent inhalation by providing effective general and, when necessary, local exhaust ventilation to draw spray, aerosol, fume, mist, or vapor away from workers.

Eye/face protection
Chemical goggles or faceshield.

Skin protection
To avoid burns from contact with molten product, use thermal insulating gloves. Consult clothing/glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type of glove for given situation. Gloves should always be inspected before each use and discarded if they show tears, pinholes, or signs of wear. Use good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact. If contact with the material may occur wear chemically protective gloves.
Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to minimize contact. When working with heated material, wear an insulated apron or an insulated chemical protective suit. Use chemically protective boots when necessary to avoid contaminating shoes. Do not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the material and cause a skin reaction. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Respiratory Protection
Use respirator with a combination organic vapor and high efficiency filter cartridge if recommended exposure limit is exceeded. Use self- contained breathing
apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean- up sites. Consult with an industrial hygienist to determine the appropriate respiratory protection for your specific use of this material. A respiratory protection program compliant with all applicable regulations must be followed whenever workplace conditions require the use of a respirator.

Hygiene Measures
Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Environmental exposure controls
See section “Accidental Release Measures” for details.

Stability and reactivity

Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity
Carefully review all information provided in the following sections

Chemical stability
Material is normally stable at moderately elevated temperatures and pressures. This material will darken in color with exposure to air or oxygen, however discoloration will not impact performance characteristics.

Possibility of hazardous reactions
Will not occur.

Conditions to avoid
Do not expose to excessive heat, ignition sources, or oxidizing materials.

Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous decomposition products
Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aldehydes and other products of incomplete combustion. Under combustion conditions, oxides of the following elements will be formed: nitrogen, sodium. Hydrogen chloride and chlorinated hydrocarbons will also form

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods
All disposal practices must be in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations. Do not dispose in landfill.
Dispose of packaging or containers in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.
