Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Symptomatic treatment.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash the affected area with soap and water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Wash out mouth. Symptomatic treatment.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Recommended extinguishing agents: Foam, carbon dioxide and
dry agents ar suitable. Water is not recommended.
Product arising from burning: Products arising from pyrolysis: Products of combustion may
contain carbon dioxides and soot.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a
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 the immediate vicinity.
Wear eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, an
impervious apron and appropriate respiratory protective
equipment.
Remove or shut off all all sources of ignition.
Spread an inert absorbant (eg. sand or soil) liberally on
the spillage. Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable
inert material (eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the
spillage to waste containers. Containers filled with waste
material must be labelled in the same way as the original
BRL 47537 containers.
Clean the spillage area with detergent and water. Ventilate
the spillage area to dispel any vapour present.
Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations by incineration or landfill, as specified in
Section A6.1.3.
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 reduce exposure.
Engineering controls should be used to reduce exposure.
However, if exposure cannot be avoided the use of goggles,
chemical resistant gloves and an impervious apron are
recommended. Where respiratory equipment has to be used it
should conform with appropriate European Standards. The
respiratory protective equipment currently used by the
notifier is an airfed hood for which there is currently no
applicable BS or CEN standard.
Storage: Store in tightly closed polythene-lined steel drums in a
cool, well ventilated area away from sources of ignition.

Stability and reactivity
Danger other than fire: None reported.
Chemical reaction with water: Chemical reaction with water: The substance undergoes slow
hydrolysis to the alcohol
(2-methylhydroxy-4-benzyloxybutan-1-ol).
Dust explosion determined by test: N
Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will be used exclusively by industry and
confined to systems that are essentially open and batchwise
industrial operations. Handling of the substance will be by
trained operators and it will be kept to a minimum.
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 or landfill in accordance with
Section A6.1.3. In principle, it may be possible to recover
large spillages of uncontaminated material for subsequent
use, but the notifier will not do this in practice.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The Base Set tests have shown that the substance may be
hazardous to the environment. However, no chemical
treatment is practicable to neutralise these properties.
Adequate protection will be worn during normal handling and
when dealing with spillages to ensure any unidentified
health hazard is minimised (see Section A2.3.1).
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of BRL 47537 or
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
oxides) could be formed.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged to the
sewage system or the aqueous environment. The substance is
not likely to have adverse effects on sewage treatment
systems following accidental discharge, however, because it
has been shown not to be unduly toxic to sewage
micro-organisms.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: Not applicable.
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
