Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of first aid measures

General advice:

Move out of dangerous area. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Do not leave the victim unattended.

Protection of first-aiders:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

If inhaled:

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Consult a physician after significant exposure. Maintain open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

In case of skin contact:

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

In case of eye contact:

Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

If swallowed:

Rinse mouth with water. Give small amounts of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Keep respiratory tract clear. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Induce vomiting, but only if victim is fully conscious.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Risks

Harmful if swallowed.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment:

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

None known.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during firefighting:

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

Hazardous combustion products:

Carbon dioxide (CO2); Carbon monoxide; Oxides of phosphorus; Halogenated compounds

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Further information:

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Standard procedure for chemical fires. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Provide adequate ventilation. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Use personal protective equipment

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up:

Stop the leak if it can be done without risk. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Dispose of wastes in an approved waste disposal facility.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

Do not get in eyes or mouth or on skin. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the ap-plication area. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Put on appropriate personal protection equipment. Empty containers retain product residue; observe all precautions for product. Do not re-use empty containers. Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Hygiene measures:

General industrial hygiene practice. When using do not eat or drink. When using do not smoke. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Keep containers sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Storage class (TRGS 510):

10, Combustible liquids

Recommended storage temperature:

< 50 °C

Further information on storage stability:

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

Engineering measures

If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapour or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits,

Personal protective equipment

Eye protection:

Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles

Hand protection

Material:         Polyvinyl chloride - PVC

Wearing time: < 60 min

Remarks:

The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves. After contamination with product change the gloves immediately and dispose of them according to relevant national and local regulations
