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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

1. Description of first aid measures

Inhalation:

Remove person to fresh air.  If you feel unwell, get medical attention.

Skin Contact:  

No need for first aid is anticipated.

Eye Contact:

No need for first aid is anticipated.

If Swallowed:  

No need for first aid is anticipated

Fire-fighting measures

1. Extinguishing media

Use a fire fighting agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition.

Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products

Substance                                                           Condition

Carbon monoxide                        During Combustion

Carbon dioxide                        During Combustion

Hydrogen Fluoride                        During Combustion

Toxic Vapor, Gas, Particulate                        During Combustion

3. Advice for fire-fighters

When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal decomposition of the product is possible, wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed areas of the head.

Accidental release measures

1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Ventilate the area with fresh air.  Refer to other sections of this SDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.

2. Environmental precautions

Not applicable.

3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Close cylinder.  Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.  Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.

Handling and storage

1. Precautions for safe handling

Do not breathe thermal decomposition products.  Do not use in a confined area with minimal air exchange.  Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.   Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.   Wash thoroughly after handling.

2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities

Protect from sunlight.  Store in a well-ventilated place.   Store away from heat.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Control parameters

Occupational exposure limits

No occupational exposure limit values exist for any of the components listed in Section 3 of this SDS.

      

2. Exposure controls

2.1. Engineering controls

For those situations where the material might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines.

2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment.  The following eye/face protection(s) are recommended: Indirect Vented Goggles

Skin/hand protection

No chemical protective gloves are required.

Respiratory protection

Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is a potential for over exposure from an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.  An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required.  If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of a full respiratory protection program.  Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator type(s) to reduce inhalation exposure:

Full facepiece supplied-air respirator

Stability and reactivity

1. Reactivity

This material may be reactive with certain agents under certain conditions - see the remaining headings in this section.

2. Chemical stability

Stable.  

3. Possibility of hazardous reactions

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.  

4. Conditions to avoid

Heat

Sparks and/or flames

5. Incompatible materials

None known.

6. Hazardous decomposition products

Substance       Condition

None known.       

Extreme heat arising from situations such as misuse or equipment failure can generate hydrogen fluoride as a decomposition product.

Disposal considerations

1 Waste treatment methods

Dispose of contents/ container in accordance with the local/regional/national/international regulations.

Incinerate in a permitted waste incineration facility.  Proper destruction may require the use of additional fuel during incineration processes.  Combustion products will include halogen acid (HCl/HF/HBr).  Facility must be capable of handling halogenated materials.    The facility should be equipped to handle gaseous waste.  Empty drums/barrels/containers used for transporting and handling hazardous chemicals (chemical substances/mixtures/preparations classified as Hazardous as per  applicable regulations) shall be considered, stored, treated & disposed of as hazardous wastes unless otherwise defined by applicable waste regulations. Consult with the respective regulating authorities to determine the available treatment and disposal facilities.
