Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

4.1. Description of first aid measures:

General: If irritation or other symptoms occur or persist from any route of exposure, remove the affected individual from the area: see a physician/get medical attention.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water for an extended time, not less than fifteen (15) minutes. Flush longer if there is any indication of residual chemical in the eye. Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers and roll eyes in a circular motion. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water until no evidence of the chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). Launder clothing before reuse. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Inhalation: If affected, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Extreme care must be taken to prevent aspiration. If victim is unconscious and breathing, position the person on their side to prevent aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse out the mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.

Protection of first aid responders: Wear proper personal protective clothing and equipment.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Irritation. Pre-existing skin problems may be aggravated by prolonged or repeated contact. See SDS section 11 for additional information.

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media:

Suitable: Use dry chemical, "alcohol" foam, carbon dioxide or water spray.

Unsuitable: Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Unusual fire/explosion hazards: Issue warning: combustible liquid. Eliminate all ignition sources. Ventilate the area. If spill is large, be prepared to isolate the hazard area. Deny access to the spill area to persons who are not involved in the cleanup and/or who have not been properly trained in spill management of hazardous/flammable liquids. Vapors may explode if ignited in an enclosed area. Run off to sewer may cause a fire or explosion hazard. Protect product from flames of any kind; maintain proper clearance when using heat devices, etc. Closed container may rupture (due to build up in pressure) when exposed to extreme heat. Product may burn if an ignition source is present.

Hazardous combustion products: Irritating or toxic substances may be emitted upon burning, combustion or decomposition.

See section 10 (10.6 Hazardous decomposition products) for additional information.

5.3. Advice for firefighters:

Use water/water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures and to dilute spills to non-combustible mixtures. Do not flush combustible liquids into sewer as a fire or vapor explosion hazard may result. Never direct a hose stream directly onto a burning flammable/combustible liquid. Solid or straight hose stream will cause fire to spread if directed onto a burning spill or into an open container of burning liquid. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) equipped with a full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand mode (or other positive pressure mode) and approved protective clothing. Personnel without suitable respiratory protection must leave the area to prevent significant exposure to hazardous gases from combustion, burning or decomposition. In an enclosed or poorly ventilated area, wear SCBA during cleanup immediately after a fire as well as during the attack phase of firefighting operations.

See SDS section 9 for additional information.

Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

See SDS Section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate areas of spill. Personal Protective Equipment must be worn.

6.2. Environmental precautions:

Do not flush liquid into public sewer, water systems or surface waters.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Contain by diking with sand, earth or other non-combustible material. Wear proper personal protective clothing and equipment. Absorb spill with an inert material. Place into labeled, closed container; store in safe location to await disposal. Change contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.

6.4. References to other sections:

See SDS Section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protection and Section 13 for waste disposal.

Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling:

As with any chemical product, use good laboratory/workplace procedures. Do not cut, puncture, or weld on or near the container. Do not breathe vapor, aerosol, mist or gas. Do not ingest, taste, or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Always wash up before eating, smoking or using the facilities. Use under well-ventilated conditions. Avoid eye and skin contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in the work area. Bond and ground all containers when transferring chemical. Eliminate ignition sources (e.g., sparks, static buildup, excessive heat, etc.). Use spark-proof tools and equipment. Vapors may travel to distant ignition sources.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in combustible storage area and away from heat and open flame. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. Store under well-ventilated conditions. Keep container upright, when not in use, to prevent leakage. Avoid storing containers in direct sunlight as vapors may accumulate in the head space creating pressure. Store this material away from incompatible substances (see SDS section 10). Do not store in open, unlabeled or mislabeled containers. Keep container closed when not in use. Emptied container may contain residual vapors or liquid which may ignite or explode. Do not reuse empty container without commercial cleaning or reconditioning. Bond and ground all containers when transferring chemical.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls:

Appropriate engineering controls: Always provide effective general and, when necessary, local exhaust ventilation to draw spray, aerosol, fume, mist and vapor away from workers to prevent routine inhalation. Ventilation must be adequate to maintain the ambient workplace atmosphere below the exposure limit(s) outlined in the SDS. Eliminate ignition sources (e.g., sparks, static buildup, excessive heat, etc.).

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:

Eye/face protection: Safety glasses or goggles required.

Hand protection: Avoid skin contact when mixing or handling the material by wearing impervious and chemical resistant gloves. In case of prolonged immersion or frequently repeated contact, gloves with breakthrough times greater than 480 minutes (protection class 6) are recommended. For brief contact or splash applications, gloves with breakthrough times of 30 minutes or greater are recommended (protection class 2 or greater). Suggested materials for protective gloves: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Viton. The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of the EC directive 89/686/EEC and the resultant standard EN 374. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage (e.g. frequency and duration of contact, other chemicals which may be handled, chemical resistance of glove material and dexterity). Always seek advice of the glove supplier as to the most suitable glove material.

Skin and body protection: Use good laboratory/workplace procedures including personal protective clothing: labcoat, safety glasses and protective gloves.

Respiratory protection: Wear an approved respirator (e.g., an organic vapor respirator, a full face air purifying respirator for organic vapors, or a self-contained breathing apparatus) whenever exposure to aerosol, mist, spray, fume or vapor exceed the applicable exposure limit(s) of any chemical substance listed in this SDS.

Further information: Eyewash fountains and safety showers are recommended in the work area.

Environmental exposure controls: See SDS Sections 6 and 12.
