Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Eyes: Not applicable

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: In case of fire, normal extinguishing media may be used
(e.g.water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder). Substance
itself does not present a fire hazard. If involved in a
fire, nitric oxides and sulphur dioxide may be produced. A
self-contained breathing apparatus should be used.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: For dry residues, collect and dump in licensed landfill
site. For spillages, wash with copious quantities of water
and discharge in accordance with local/national
regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The usual precautions should be observed. Avoid dust
formation during filling of drums.

Storage: No particular recommendations. Normally, store in closed
containers in adequate rooms.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Normal application results in the consumption of over 95%
by irreversible binding to leather or paper.Recovery of the
remaining highly water soluble substance is not practical.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at a controlled landfill site is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Disposal by this method at an approved facility equipped
with waste gas treatment to remove nitrogen and sulphur
oxides and metal oxides is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Waste gas will contain less than 5% of the substance. Waste
water is discharged into internal industrial effluents as a
highly diluted solution. Tanneries, dye-works and paper
mills are well aware of this waste water and treat it by
installing pre-purification plants. Part of it will be
discharged into industrial effluents. Total aerobic
degradation is unlikely, although partial degradation may
occur.However the literature suggests it will be destroyed
by anaerobic degradation (see Brown and
Laboureur,Chemosphere,1983, 12(3),397-404 and ETAD project
E 3013 on sediment analysis of the Rhine,status report June
27,1980).

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.
