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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: In case of inhalation: Move injured person into fresh air
and keep person calm under observation. If uncomfortable:
Seek hospital.
Emergency measure - Eyes: In case of eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of
water. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids widely.
Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to
hospital.
Emergency measure - Skin: In case of skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and
flush with plenty of water. If necessary, seek hospital.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: In case of ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth and drink
plenty of water. Keep person under observation. If
uncomfortable: Seek hospital. Do not induce vomiting.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: The substance is not flammable.
Heating above approximately 150ºC will polymerise the
substance.
At temperatures above 200ºC the cured substance will degrade
leading to numerous decomposition products.
Product arising from burning: carbon and nitrogen oxides, and possibly aldehydes and
cyanides
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: The spillage should be dammed and the substance absorbed in
absorbing material or scooped up. It should be transferred
to suitable containers for disposal. After removal of the
spillage, the affected area should be cleaned with water and
soap. It should be observed that the floor may become
slippery.
Eye and skin contact should be prevented by means of
suitable personal protection equipment. Avoid inhalation of
vapours.
Handling and storage
Handling: Use appropriate protective equipment as splash goggles,
gloves etc. when handling.
Facilities for storing and utilising this material should be
equipped with water and eyewash facility.
Respiratory protection is not required under normal
operating conditions.
Storage: Storage temperature min. 1oºC - max. 50ºC.
Spillage & Floor may become slippery. Collect spills
immediately with an absorbing, inert materials and transfer
to suitable containers for disposal.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance and/or preparation will be transported in 1000
litres pallet containers or tank trucks. The containers
will contain the substance or the preparation with a solids
content of 50-70% wt. Only water will be used as diluent.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Information about possible exposure at work place
Working environment during production of the substance: The production process is not fully automated. The operator may thus be exposed to the reactant chemicals used during the manual handling. The following procedures involve possible exposure to reactants.
Diethanolamine
This chemical is transferred from the storage tank to the reactor through a pipe, i.e. in a closed system. The risk of exposure is considered to be insignificant.
Personal protection
Safety goggles and nitrile rubber gloves are worn during production. Respiratory protection, multifilter type A2B2E2K1 applied with P3 filter must be used in case of spillage.
Acid anhydrides and acid
These chemicals are all solids when dosed to the reactor and small amounts of dust may be released.
To reduce the formation of dust in the working environment, the batch recipes shall be adjusted to fit full sacks to avoid the weighing procedure or it shall be done via a powder handling sluice. Dosing to the reactor will be done with local exhaust situated at the reactor opening.
Personal protection
Safety goggles and nitrile rubber gloves are worn during production.
During handling and cleaning after possible spills of acid anhydrides, respiratory protection with multifilter type A2B2E2K1 apply with P3 filter shall be used. Local exhaust is used when opening the reactor.
Indirect exposure to humans
To ensure that no persons other than the operators are being exposed, the production will take place in a room with closed doors in order to avoid diffuse emission. Unauthorized persons are not allowed admittance, until the room has been sufficiently ventilated.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical reaction with water: The material does not react with water.
Dust explosion: The substance is a water suspension/solution. It is
estimated to pose no risk of dust explosion.
Dust explosion determined by test: N
Disposal considerations
Information on the Uses of the Substance and Potential Consumer Exposure
The substance is 100% used industrially in a closed system. During production of the mineral wool products the substance is cured to a three-dimensional polymeric network and does not exist in the final mineral wool product.
The use is contained. During production the substance is consumed and the mineral wool end products do not contain the substance.
The general public will not be exposed to the substance as there is no substance left in the final product as it is consumed in the production process.
Information about possible exposure at work place is summarized below.

Technological processes related to the use of the substance:
The substance/preparation is sprayed into the spinning chamber, where the mineral wool fibres are formed, with large amounts of dilution water to avoid thermal degradation. The spinning chamber is operating at slight vacuum, by which contamination of the working environment with binder components is avoided. The air sucked from the spinning chamber is filtered before entering the chimney. A web of mineral wool and binder is collected in the spinning chamber and transported to the curing oven on a conveyer belt. In the curing oven, the binder is cured e.g. polymerized by heating with hot air.
After passing the curing oven, “the substance” has ceased to exist. It has been transferred into a three-dimensional network. The curing oven operates at slight vacuum to avoid curing gas being emitted into the working environment of the factory. The curing air is burned off in an after burner before entering the chimney.
The substance will be polymerized and consumed during the production of end products and will not exist as such in end-use products
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).
