Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

attention if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention

if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam may be used.

Water should not be used due to the high water solubility of

the substance.

Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may contain oxides of carbon.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity. Wear suitable

protective clothing (see 2.3.1). Absorb spillages of

solutions with a suitable inert material (eg sand or soil).

Carefully transfer the spillage to labelled waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Dispose of waste material by landfill or incineration in

accordance with local regulations. Clean the spillage area

with water and detergent. Do not discharge to drain.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be handled and used in conditions of

good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local

regulations in order to avoid exposure. Ensure adequate

ventilation.

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 prEN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard prEN166.

Respiratory protection  e.g.an organic vapour mask

conforming to EN405 FFA1.

Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a dry well-ventilated

area, away from sources of ignition.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: UN-approved metal drums and containers up to 250 litre

capacity.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: In contact with air, explosive peroxides may be formed. A

stabiliser is added to prevent this .

Chemical reaction with water: None reported.

Dust explosion: Not applicable.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for recycling is not feasible

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

flammability hazard.

Formation of explosive peroxides upon contact with air is

prevented by the addition of a stabiliser.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages mixed with inert

material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by landfill at

an authorised tip in accordance with local regulations.

(A650)

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 (A660).

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: The substance will not enter the public domain.
