Registration Dossier

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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove person from exposure. If the victim is not breathing,

perform mouth to mouth resuscitation. Oxygen may be

administered if breathing is difficult. Show copy of safety data sheet or label to medical staff. Seek immediate medical

attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Hold eyelids apart and irrigate affected eye(s) with copious

amounts of water, for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with copious amounts of water and a mild soap for at least 15

minutes. If irritation persists seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the

container or the label. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.

Induction of vomiting should be considered for significant ingestions if person is conscious and not experiencing

convulsions. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious

person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Use appropriate medium for the underlying cause of the fire

and surrounding environment e.g water,foam or carbon

dioxide.

Product arising from burning: Hazardous decomposition products may consist of COx and NOx products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing apparatus, chemical and flame

resistant protective clothing, gloves and boots.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear suitable PPE i.e splash goggles, full suit,

coverall,respirator (with high efficiency filters or

cartridges), boots and impermeable gloves. Minimise dust formation by collecting spilled solids using a wet mop, damp

sponge or wet/dry HEPA vacuum. Place collected material into

a suitable labelled container for reclamation or disposal.

Finish cleaning by spreading water and detergent on the

contaminated surface, ventilate area and dispose of

according to local and regional authority requirements.

Handling and storage

Handling: Engineering controls in the form of local ventilation are

provided at the reactor. When they are not sufficient to

control dust exposures, approved respiratory protection to

EN 136 standard should be worn. For manufacturing areas skin protection should be provided in the form of coveralls or

full air suits (conforming to standard EN368) along with

impermeable gloves (conforming to standard EN374). Gloves

should be changed regularly and removed after overt

contamination. Rubber, neoprene or other gloves may be

required if solvents, corrosives or other chemicals are present. Chemical safety glasses should be worn if a full

face respirator is not being worn.

Storage: The substance is stored in a dark, dry area, away from heat

and sunlight. Containers must be correctly labelled and kept

tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance is packaged in UN approved fibre drums.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls in the form of local ventilation are

provided at the reactor. When they are not sufficient to

control dust exposures, approved respiratory protection to

EN 136 standard should be worn. For manufacturing areas skin

protection should be provided in the form of coveralls or

full air suits (conforming to standard EN368) along with

impermeable gloves (conforming to standard EN374). Gloves

should be changed regularly and removed after overt

contamination. Rubber, neoprene or other gloves may be

required if solvents, corrosives or other chemicals are

present. Chemical safety glasses should be worn if a full

face respirator is not being worn.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known

Chemical reaction with water: No changes upon reaction with water

Dust explosion: The material exhibits explosive characteristics if ignited

as a dust cloud. It is susceptible to accumulating static

charges during processing and uncontrolled static discharge

may result in igniting a dust cloud under certain conditions

due to the low minimum ignition energy. Provide suitable

bonding and grounding for containers and process equipment

to control static charges. Powder handling equipment such as

dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional

protective measures.

Dust explosion determined by test: Y

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Trace quantities are destroyed by biological oxidation in

the on-site and local authority minicipal wastewater

treatment plants. Larger quantities are destroyed by closed

cycle incineration. No practical means of recovery or

recycling are known.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No method of neutralisation is known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Trace quantities are destroyed by biological oxidation in

waste water treatment plants.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is recommended for larger quantities. A

closed-cycle incinerator with scrubbers should be employed.

National and local regulations must be observed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Biological oxidation occurs at waste water treatment plants.

Trace quantities in aqueous washes can be treated in

secondary biological WWTP before discharge to municipal

treatment works. The substance should not normally be

discharged directly to the sewage system or the aqueous

environment.
