Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 exposed subject to fresh air. Seek medical assistance
in case of known or possible over exposure to this material
or with symptoms including chest pain, difficulty breathing,
loss of consciousness or other adverse effects which may be
delayed. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, START BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eyes continuously with water for at least 15 minutes.
Do not use a chemical neutraliser. Obtain medical assistance
if symptoms occur.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with
large amounts of water. Obtain medical assistance if skin
reaction occurs, which may be delayed. Do not use a chemical
neutraliser.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, dry powder, carbon dioxide or foam extinguishers.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen
oxides). However, there is no experimental evidence to
support the anticipated combustion products.

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. Absorb
spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg
sand or soil). 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.


Dispose of waste material by incineration in accordance with
local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.


Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance.


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 EN374 AS

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368 or Tyvek suit

Safety shoes to Standard EN346

Safety helmet to Standard EN397

Eye protection to Standard EN166 or US ANSI.


When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be
used. e.g. a air supplied suits and hoods to prEN943-1.


The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a
minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry well-ventilated area.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 2 or 5 x 10kg Double-lined polyethylene bags within a
fibrekeg drum.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: There will be minimal discharge to the environment. Recovery
from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not
economically or technically feasible, and such waste
material will be disposed of by incineration. 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
considered hazardous to health and dangerous to the
environment.


No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the
hazardous properties.


The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate storage and
handling conditions.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with
inert material (eg sand or soil) should not be disposed of
by landfill.

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 and
nitrogen 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.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable.
