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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: If symptomatic, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact
lenses. Get medical attention. If molten material contacts the eye, immediately flush with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: If burned by contact with molten material, cool as quickly as possible. Do not peel material from
skin. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Seek medical advice.
Note to Physicians: Burns should be treated as thermal burns. The material will come off as healing
occurs; therefore, immediate removal from the skin is not necessary.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: none
Accidental release measures
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Sweep up and place in a clearly labeled container for
chemical waste.
Handling and storage
Personal Precautionary Measures: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid contact with
molten material. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
Storage: Keep container closed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Ventilation: 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.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below
recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where
exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United
States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance
with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with
an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or
canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Wear a face shield when
working with molten material.
Skin Protection: When material is heated, wear gloves to protect against thermal burns.
Recommended Decontamination Facilities: eye bath, safety shower, washing facilities
Stability and reactivity
Stability: Stable; however, material can decompose at elevated
temperatures.
Incompatibility: Material reacts with strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Disposal considerations
Discharge, treatment, or disposal may be subject to national, state, or local laws. Incinerate. Since
emptied containers retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
