Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Not applicable.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eyes immediately with water for several minutes. Seek

immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash skin immediately with soap and water. If irritation

persists, seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give victim plenty of water to

drink, and seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, dry chemical and CO2. Do not use water.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in

afire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon oxides).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed

industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled with waste

material must be labelled in the same way as the original

substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with copious amounts of water. Avoid

washing the solutions to the drain.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration or landfill.

Handling and storage

Handling: No special engineering controls. Avoid skin and eye contact.

Use protective gloves( to standard EN 374) and goggles (to

standard EN 166). Access to eye wash facilities is assumed.

Storage: The product is stored (in concentrated form) in a tank at 15

to 25øC. In the diluted form, 5%, the product is stored in

an open tank at < 20øC.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Steel drums with plastic (polyethylene) lining or

polyethylene jerricans can be used.

The product is normally delivered in bulk.

pH 6 to 7, the substance is stable.

Dust explosion: None.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by

landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon

oxides) could be formed.

This method of disposal is preferred to landfill.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects  on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable as the substance does not enter the public

domain.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as the substance does not enter the public

domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable as the substance does not enter the public

domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable as the substance does not enter the public

domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable as the substance does not enter the public

domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable as the substance does not enter the public

domain.
