Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 to fresh air, treat symptomatically. If symptoms

develop, seek medical advice.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the

physician's judgement should be used to control symptoms

and clinical condition.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush affected area with water. If symptoms develop, seek

medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Flush affected area with water. If symptoms develop, seek

medical advice.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. If

conscious, washout mouth and give water to drink. If

reflexive vomiting occurs, rinse mouth and repeat

administration  of water. Get medical attention.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the

physician's judgement should be used to control symptoms

and clinical condition.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: This product would not be expected to burn unless all the

water is  boiled away.  The remaining organics may be

ignitable.  Use extinguishing media appropriate for

surrounding fire.

Product arising from burning: COx and NOx

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self

contained  breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Restrict

access to the area until clean up operations are complete.

Approach spill site only when wearing appropriate personal

protective equipment. If safe to do so, stop or reduce any

leaks. Ventilate spill area if possible.

Wear standard protective clothing for example nitile or PVC

gauntlet gloves and chemical splash goggles. If significant

mists or aeroslos are generated a full face respirator with

an organic vapour cartridge with a dust/mist pre-filter or

supplied air be used. If respiratory protection is required

institute a complete respiratory protective program

including selection, fit testing, maintenance and

inspection.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP

SMALL SPILLS:  Soak up spill with absorbent material.  Place

residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled

container. Wash affected area.

LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by

digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or

salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

Do not contaminate surface water, do not allow to enter

sewers or water courses. Immediately inform the appropriate

authorities. An water/oil emulsion may form on top of water.

Use absorbent pads to absorb. Dispose of all waste via an

approved contractor. The material is suitable for high

temperature incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: Product Design - The polymer is sold in a water/oil

emulsion. Liquids are generally held to  be easier to handle

than solids and result in a lower order of exposure

especially by the lungs.

Engineering Controls - The product is provided in sealed

storage containers, these are transferred by gravity, by

pump or compressed air to dedicated storage vessels. The

transfer operation is fully enclosed and generally utilises

a dedicated transfer hose to connect the transport container

to the storage container. Vapour/mist release is unlikely.

Transfer points are situated in well-ventilated areas. In

view of the low volatility and form of the product

concerned, local exhaust ventilation is not required. A

safety shower and eyewash station should be provided.

Personal Protective Equipment - Personal protective

equipment should be worn whilst handling this material

1. Safety goggles which conform to EN 166 1B 3

2.Chemical protective gloves made of nitrile or PVC which

conform to EN 374 class III

3.For spill clean up purposes only - A full face respirator

which conforms to EN 136 class 2 and a type A3P3 filter that

conforms to EN 141

Procedures - Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including

full-length coveralls, gauntlet gloves and safety goggles.

Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Do not take

internally. Do not breathe aerosols/mists. Ensure adequate

ventilation before you work with the product. Do not eat,

drink or smoke whilst handling this product. Wash hands

thoroughly after use. Keep containers closed when not in

use. Ensure all containers are labelled. Know the location

of emergency equipment including eyewash stations, showers

and isolation points.

Storage: Store in suitable labelled containers. Store the containers

tightly closed.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: One tonne IBC containers of polyethylene inner case with a

strengthening steel frame,

or 200 liter drums of steel or plasic (polyethylene) or 20

liter pails of polyethylene.
