Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Skin contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Remove residues with soap and water. Call a physician if irritation persists.

Eye contact: Irrigate immediately with large quantities of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Consult medical personnel.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.

Ingestion: The decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by an attending physician.

Note to physician: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgement of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical. Foam.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Do not use a straight stream of water.

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases: Under conditions of incomplete combustion or pyrolysis, phenolics and carbon oxides may be evolved. The thermal decomposition products therefore should be treated as potentially hazardous substances and appropriate precautions should be taken.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Ware positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boot and gloves).

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Clean-up personnel should wear adequate protective clothing and equipment to prevent inhalation of dust and skin and eye contact. Remove all sources of ignition.

Environmental precautions: Contain liquid to prevent contamination of soil, surface water or ground water. Flushing and wash waters must be contained and prevented from entering into soil, water ways and ground water.

Methods for cleaning up: Cover and soak up with a suitable absorbent material, such as: Sand. Collect in suitable and properly labelled containers. Dispose of according to applicable regulations. Residual can be removed with solvent. Solvents are not recommended for cleanup unless the recommended exposure guidelines and safe handling practices for the specific solvent are followed. Consult appropriate solvent SDS for handling information and exposure guidelines. Residual product may be removed using steam or hot soapy water. Do not dump into soil, water ways and ground water.

Handling and storage

Handling: Remove all sources of ignition. Practice care and caution to avoid skin and eye contact. Utilize recommended protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing vapours of heated material. Do not allow to reach waterways.

Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container closed and store in a cool area.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Occupational exposure controls: Provide good general ventilation for most conditions.

Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory protection: A respirator that is recommended or approved for use in organic vapour containing environments may be necessary.
Hand protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles.
Skin protection: Wear chemical protection suit, apron, workpants, long sleeve work shirt, or disposable coveralls and so on.

Environmental exposure controls:
Remove contaminated clothing no later than at the end of the work period and launder before reuse.
Treat the substances and preparations in accordance with the directives and regulations in EU.

Stability and reactivity

Conditions to avoid: Excessive heating over long periods of time degrades the product (causing discolouration). Sparks and open flame.

Materials to avoid: Strong oxidizing agents, Strong Lewis or mineral acids and mineral and organic bases/especially primary and secondary aliphatic amines.

Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aldehydes and other organic substances may be formed during combustion or elevated (>250°C) temperature degradation.

Disposal considerations

Disposal by incineration, recycling, or by landfill should be performed in accordance with local regulations.
