Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Inhalation : If symptomatic, move to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eyes : Immediately flush eyes for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin : Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated cloting before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Ingestion : Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media: Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical, Foam.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. USE WATER WITH CAUTION. Material reacts with water. Water may be ineffective. Fight fire from a protected location.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, Sulphur oxides.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable. Material contains an extremely flammable solvent that may accumulate in the container headspace. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Heating may cause an explosion. Fire or high temperatures may cause decomposition. Prevent buildup of vapours or gases to explosive concentrations. May form peroxides of unknown stability. Contact with water liberates highly flammable gases.

Accidental release measures

Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill with inert material, then place in a chemical waste container. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
For Large Spills: Flush with plenty of water. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams.

Handling and storage

Personal precautions: Do not breathe mist or vapour at concentrations greater than the exposure limits. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep away from heat. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container. Minimize exposure to air. Do not distill or allow to evaporate to near dryness. Comply with all national, state, and local codes pertaining to the storage, handling, dispensing, and disposal of flammable liquids. Keep from any contact with water. Do not allow water to get into container because of reaction. Exercise caution if heating, especially in a closed container. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage: Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed and dry. Contents may develop pressure if exposed to water. Store in cool place. Do not freeze. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect against light. Keep away from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)

Exposure controls / personal protection

Ventilation: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Controls should be sufficient so that applicable occupational exposure limits are not exceeded.
Respiratory protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: NIOSH-approved with an APF (assigned protection factor) >50 (examples: full facepiece air purifying respirator or half mask powered air purifying respirator). If respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with applicable federal, state, commonwealth, provincial, or local laws and regulations.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Hand protection: Wear impervious gloves and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure.

Stability and reactivity

Stability: Normally stable; however, on long term storage, materials containing similar functional groups form peroxides of unknown stability.
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizing agents, Water. Pressure may develop in container if contents are exposed to water. Material reacts with water. Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases. Contact with water may cause flash fire.
Hazardous decomposition products: hydrogen chloride.
Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerisation does not occur.

Disposal considerations

Discharge, treatment, or disposal may be subject to federal, state, commonwealth, provincial, or local laws. Since emptied containers retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied. Residual vapours may explode on ignition; do not cut, drill, grind, or weld on or near this container.
