Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Inhalation: Remove the affected person to fresh air, unloose clothing or change him, if clothing is contaminated. If necessary, rinse oral cavity and nasal cavity with water. Protect the victim against chill and call medical help!

Skin: Remove immediately contaminated clothing (remove watches, rings, if they are in places of contact with skin), do not pull contaminated clothing over face! Rinse affected skin area under stream of warm water, if possible (30-35 °C), for 10 to 30 minutes and make sure that flowing water does not get into contact with those parts of body that were not contaminated. Do not use a brush, soap or neutralising agents! Cover the affected area with a sterile dressing, do not use any ointments or pharmaceutical products. Protect the victim against chill. Call a physician immediately!

Contact with eyes: Rinse eyes immediately and thoroughly under stream of water for 10 to 30 minutes in the direction from the inner to the outer ocular angle (to prevent running of water in the other, non-affected eye, mouth and nose). Never use any neutralising solutions! If the victim keeps his eyelid tightly closed, use reasonable degree of force to open it. If the victim wears contact lenses, remove them immediately. The victim must always consult an ophthalmologist!

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING - higher risk of harm to digestive tract!!! Risk of perforation of oesophagus and stomach! RINSE MOUTH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER AND GIVE TO DRINK 2-5 dl of cold water to alleviate thermal effect of the caustic.

Due to almost immediate effect to mucous membranes, it is suitable to offer immediately tap water than loose time by looking for chilled liquid – each minute of delay causes irreversible harm to mucous membranes! Soda water or mineral waters are not recommended, as they may release gaseous carbon dioxide. It is not recommended to consume a lot of liquid, as it could induce vomiting and possible aspiration of the caustic in lungs).  

Do not force the victim to drink, especially if he/she feels pain in mouth or throat. In this case, make the victim rinse his/her mouth. DO NOT ADMINISTER ACTIVATED CARBON! (blackening will make examination of mucous membranes more difficult and activated carbon has no positive effect in case of acids and lye). Do not give anything to eat. Do not administer anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or has convulsions. Call a physician immediately!

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

At low temperatures, due to low vapour pressure, irritation of eyes and mucous membranes is lighter. With higher temperatures, degree of irritation increases. Contact with eyes may cause disorders of cornea with subsequent fogging, especially in case of penetration of the substance into eye.  Contact with the liquid causes severe skin burns.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Symptomatic treatment. In case of contact with eyes, immediately rinse the conjunctival sac. Quickly provide treatment by an ophthalmologist! Ingestion causes burns, therefore perform gastric lavage in case of ingestion. No emetics. It is more important to dilute contents of the stomach that to try to neutralise. Check function of kidneys and liver for several days in case of severe cases. In case of ingestion, risk of shock.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: sprinkled water, powder, foam, CO2

Unsuitable extinguishing media: not specified

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Flammable liquid of hazard class III (VbF.: AIII). Do not approach with open fire - risk of ignition. Possibility of release of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Formation of toxic and explosive mixtures.

Advice for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, special protective clothing! (Hazchem- Code: 3W)

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Protective clothing, eye protection. Ensure ventilation.

Environmental precautions: Prevent contamination of soil and water in vicinity of accident.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Cover with an absorbent material (Vapex, Vermikulit) and sweep up into a waste container marked with a hazardous waste identification list. For methods of disposal according to valid regulations of wastes.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Delivered in rail or truck tanks or in steel barrels. Ventilation provided during emptying.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in original packaging in rooms that may be ventilated. Do not store together with

foodstuffs.
