Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.

Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wash thoroughly

after handling. Do not empty into drains. The usual precautions for handling chemicals should be

observed Do not allow dust to accumulate on surfaces and equipment.

Material can accumulate static charges from material handling management. Bond and ground as

appropriate. For additional recommendations, consult an applicable guideline such as National Fire

Protection Association [NFPA] 77, "Recommended Practices on Static Electricity". The Minimum

Ignition Energy for some organic solids as a dust may be as low as 3 mJ [millijoules]. The

Minimum Explosive Concentration for some organic solids as a dust may be as low as 0.025 oz/ft3

or ~20 g/m3.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Prevent electrostatic charge build-up by using

common bonding and grounding techniques. Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated

place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure guidelines

The UK HSE (EH40) recommends the following limits for dusts: 10 mg/m3 (8hr TWA) total

inhalable dust; 4 mg/m3 (8hr TWA) total respirable dust.

Appropriate engineering controls

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates

should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or

other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If

exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or

fumes that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure

appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards. These may

include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National

Electrical Code" and NFPA 499, "Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts

and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas ".

NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that

any potential areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For

recommendations to prevent such explosions and associated damage, consult applicable guidelines

such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or NFPA 68, "Guide for Venting

Deflagrations". Keep working clothes separately and do not take them home.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

General information

Use personal protective equipment as required.

Eye/face protection

Avoid contact with eyes. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). If splashes are likely to

occur, wear: face-shield.

Skin protection

Nitrile or PVC coated gloves with an estimated breakthrough time of >100 minutes are

recommended.

Wear dustproof working clothes.

Respiratory protection

Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable

respiratory equipment.

Hygiene measures

Do not get this material in contact with skin. Do not get this material on clothing. Handle in

accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
