Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Remove patient to fresh air. Seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with plenty of water and seek medical attention

immediately.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, carbon dioxide or dry powder may be used.

Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may contain oxides of carbon and

nitrogen together with hydrogen chloride gas.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing

apparatus should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear suitable protective clothing (see 2.3.1). Take

precautions to prevent dust formation, and extinguish all

ignition sources. Sweep up spill and transfer to suitable

sealed containers and dispose of by incineration in

accordance with local regulations.

Avoid release to waterways, drains and soil.

Handling and storage

Handling: Ensure adequate ventilation. Suitable protective clothing

(e.g. overalls), rubber gloves, anti-static footwear (BS

5451 or DIN Standard  4843) and safety goggles (BS 2092/2)

should be worn. When airborne contamination is likely local

exhaust ventilation should be used, and an air-

supplied hood, dust mask or appropriate HSE approved

respirator should be worn (conforming to CEN Standards pr EN

140 and pr EN 141, BS 2091 as a protection P3).

All techniques to minimise dust formation should be used.

Measures should also be taken to minimise ignition, e.g.

milling and centrifuging equipment and vessels where

charging of the powder occurs should be earthed. Inert

atmospheres (e.g. using nitrogen) should be used where

applicable. Earthing, inerting and explosion venting should

be used in driers.

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place in polyethylene lined steel

drums.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for recycling is not possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method at a suitable facility using temperatures

at 1100 deg C. Waste gas treatment to remove oxides of

nitrogen and hydrogen chloride gas should be fitted. (A661)

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

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
