Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Move to fresh air. If you feel unwell, seek medical
advice.
Emergency measure - Eyes: After contact with the eyes:
Rinse immediately with gently running water for 15
minutes, maintaining eyelids open. Consult an
ophthalmologist or a physician.
Emergency measure - Skin: After contact with the skin:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with water and soap.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: After ingestion or accident:

Only as long as the patient is fully conscious: wash mouth
and have the victim drink copious amounts of water (often
vomiting will be induced). Consult a physician immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, foam & dry powder

Product arising from burning: CO2 , HCl

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: The on-site fire crews would tackle any localized fire with
a dry powder extinguisher. If a major fire is involved, the
foam enhanced building sprinkler system would automatically
activate. The building drainage system is arranged such that
all fire water run off is captured within a 200 m3
catchment tank. The contents of the tank would be analysed
and if required, all of the liquid would be sent for
incineration. If there is a risk of fume inhalation, the
firemen would wear a Kappler responder gas-tight suit (to
standard ASTM F1001 chemical test batter and ASTMF739
Permeation test).

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: In the event of spillage, the solid material will be
contained by the use of adsorbent 'pigs' and the use of
loose adsorbent vermiculite. Drainage covers would be
blanked off and the residues would be wiped, scraped and
vacuumed up. All such collections of spilled waste would be
securely contained and sent for incineration.

During any clean up operation, the operator will wear a
Tyvek suit (BS EN 465-468), gloves (BS EN 388 & BS EN 374)
and a Tornado Air pack (EN 141, EN 143 and EN 146).

Handling and storage

Handling: Donning and removal of PPE is undertaken following a written
procedure. PPE consists of a Tyvek suit (BS EN 465-468),
gloves (BS EN 388 & BS EN 374) and a Kemira respirator (EN
141, EN 143 and EN 136). Gloves are taped to the suit at the
cuff using chemical-resistant tape. Coolvests are supplied
for optional wear under the PPE to reduce potential over-
heating.

Charging is carried out in a purpose built booth, comprising
of a series of interconnected areas. It consists of a white
area for dressing, two grey areas - one for removing
contaminated PPE and the other for handling of mausers of
raw material and empty mausers - and a black area where
charging takes place. The black area is equipped with
ventilation.

Full mausers of raw material are transferred into the grey
handling area. They are pushed into the black area on a
conveyor through a small door. The lids are then removed and
the liners undone. The raw material is sucked out using a
vacuum pipe which transfers the material into a powder
transfer system (PTS) and then via a valve into the reactor.
The vacuum is, in effect, a dead vacuum, in that, no live
vacuum is used during the charging of the Chlorosugar to the
PTS. The PTS is a small 20 litre intermediate closed
vessel. The vacuum is applied via a filter to avoid loss of
any Chlorosugar to the vacuum system.

The remnants from one mauser are tipped into the next. Empty
mausers are pushed through a hole in the wall from the
black area into a liner. These are sealed to contain any
chemical contamination and are then passed out of the grey
area.

The charge is divided into 3 smaller charging operations. 2
operators charge approximately 25 mausers.

The black area is equipped with a vacuum to clear up small
spills. Marker boards and pens allow communication between
operators inside the booth and those outside.


These handling methods are based on procedures used during
the trial campaign. The PPE worn by the operators in this
trial gave adequate protection.

Storage: The enclosed substance will be stored under cover in a
warehouse unit at 2-8°C until required for use in the
production building. Only the required amount for one batch
will be transferred to the production building at any one
time.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance will be supplied in 25 kg fibreboard mausers
with inner polyethylene liners.

Chemical reaction with water: No formation of explosive vapours.

Dust explosion: Not known.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Since it is envisaged that all of the notifiable substance
will be consumed in the process, recovery is not applicable.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance is neutral in chemical nature. It reacts with
water under both acidic and alkaline conditions and
therefore cannot be isolated by extraction. As a result of
this, the recovery of Chlorosugar will not be attempted.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: As described above, all process effluent will be contained
and not allowed to enter the environment and will be sent
for incineration within the UK.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: All process effluent will be contained and not allowed to
enter the environment and will be sent for incineration
within the UK.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

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.
