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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 patient to fresh air. Seek medical attention if

symptoms develop.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with plenty of water

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Combustion products may contain carbon oxides. Suitable

extinguishing agents are carbon dioxide and water.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Contain the spill. Decompose the substance in hot water

(>46 deg C). tert.Butylhydroperoxide is not formed when the

substance is decomposed thermally.

Handling and storage

Handling: Protective clothing, including PVC gloves (eg Semperit VH,

Sempersoft), should be worn. Goggles with mistless

sight-glass made of cellone in a basket shape designed to

cover ordinary spectacles are recommended to provide eye

protection. Avoid breathing dust, wear a dust mask

(half-mask type) made of silicone rubber with a P3 filter

(i.e. filter screens particles >0.3 microns, see CEN

standard paragraph pr EN 143).

Storage: Store in isolation at temperatures below 5 deg C. Packing

should not be gas-tight.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: At temperatures above 5 deg C, carbon dioxide will be

generated. The substance slowly hydrolyses in water to

yield tert.butylhydroperoxide which, at high

concentrations, may give the wet decomposition mixture skin

and eye irritating properties.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for reuse is not possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Thermal decomposition with water at a temperature >46 deg C

will neutralise the hazardous property of the substance.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at a landfill site is not recommended. Discharge

to watercourses may be possible after decomposition in

water at >46 deg C.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not recommended but no unfavourable effects to systems are

envisaged for the substance or the decomposition products

after decomposition in water at >46 deg C.

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