Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 from potential source of exposure to fresh air. Seek
immediate medical advice.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Irrigate with copious amounts of water. If irritation occurs
seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with copious amounts of soap and water. If irritation
occurs seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, dry powder, carbon dioxide or halon.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon, nitrogen 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 by damping down with water. Absorb
spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg.
sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste
containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.
Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in
the same way as the original substance containers.


Clean the spillage area with soap and water.


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, EN388, EN407,
EN511,or EN421.

Chemical protective clothing (respiratory suit) to Standard
EN270, EN466, EN943, EN530, EN374-3 or EN368


These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in sealed, double poly-lined containers at ambient
temperature. Keep away from other chemical vapours or
odours.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 2 x 25 kg packs in a polythene bag inside a 60 litre high
density polyethylene Bowater open top drum. The lid is
sealed with a tamper evident seal.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None reported.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous is reported.

Dust explosion: The substance is a weak dust explosion hazard (Class St2).
Its minimum ignition energy is 200-300mJ, which means that
it is difficult to initiate an explosion. The powder has a
relaxation time of < 1 second, and so has negligable
potential to accumulate a static charge when in contact with
earthed systems. Since less than 36% of the mass has
particle size less than 100µm, the potential to create an
explosible dust cloud is low.

Dust explosion determined by test: Y

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. 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 dust hazard will be minimised by the use of appropriate
storage and handling procedures.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with
inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by
landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local
regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can 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,
nitrogen 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.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable, the substance will not enter the public
domain.
