Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove casualty from exposure ensuring one's own safety

whilst doing so. If conscious, ensure the casualty sits or

lies down. If breathing becomes bubbly, have he casualty sit

and provide oxygen if available. Seek medical attention if

symptoms persist.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Bathe the eye with running water for 15 minutes. Consult a

doctor.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove all contaminated clothes and footwear immediately

unless stuck to skin. Wash immediately with plenty of soap

and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. If

conscious, give half a litre of water to drink immediately.

Consult a doctor.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Use suitable media for the surrounding fire. Use water spray

to cool containers.

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

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and sulphur

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.

Avoid dust formation. Absorb spillages of solutions with a

suitable inert material (eg. sand or soil).

Transfer to a closable, labelled salvage container for

disposal.

Do not discharge to drains or rivers.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,

be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate

international or national standards, such as a dust mask

conforming to EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area.

Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from sources of

ignition. Avoid contact with water or humidity.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 60 to 70 kg poly-lined kegs.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will not occur.Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be

possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated

material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is a

severe eye irritant. No chemical treatment is practicable to

neutralise the hazardous health properties

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance should 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 and sulphur oxides) could be formed.

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.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
