Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If irritation occurs seek medical
attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Remove contact lens and pour a gentle stream of water over
the affected eye for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation occurs.
Emergency measure - Skin: Run a gentle stream of water over the affected area for 15
minutes. A mild soap may be used if available. Seek
medical attention if irritation occurs.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Do not induce
vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconcious person. If irritation occurs seek
medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, water spray, sand, dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (e.g. carbon oxides, smoke)

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: The substance is a solid and does not present a hazard if
spilled. Product can be recovered by sweeping into a
container (taking care not to generate dust).

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.


Local exhaust ventilation will be provided during all
processing steps.


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 purpose, and conform to the
appropriate international or national standards.


These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Sealed plastic bottles contained in sealed and appropriately
labelled cardboard box containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Incompatible with strong oxidisers and acids.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous

Dust explosion: The substance is an organic solid and therefore the
possibility of a dust explosion exists.


Avoid dust formation and only use in an area provided with
appropriate local exhaust ventilation.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: 611 Recovery by mechanical collection


Minor spillages may be recovered by sweeping into a
container. However, such material would not be able to be
reused and would be disposed of by incineration.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: 661 Incinerator with flue gas scrubbing

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: 641 Removal by controlled discharge to a waste water
treatment plant.


Waste water containing the substance from lens washing is
sent to a WWTP. Due to the very small quantities involved,
adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be
unlikely.
