Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Inhalation: No need for first aid is anticipated.

Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.  If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.

Eye Contact:  Flush with large amounts of water.  Remove contact lenses if easy to do.  Continue rinsing.  If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.

If Swallowed: Rinse mouth.  If you feel unwell, get medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

The most important symptoms and effects based on the CLP classification include: Harmful if swallowed.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment required: Not applicable.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

In case of fire: Use a carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguisher to extinguish.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

None inherent in this product.

Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products

Carbon monoxide: During combustion

Carbon dioxide: During combustion

Advice for fire-fighters

Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed areas of the head.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate area.  Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.  Ventilate the area with fresh air.  For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice.  Refer to other sections of this SDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment

Environmental precautions: Avoid release to the environment.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.  Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air).  Vacuum to avoid dusting.  WARNING! A motor could be an ignition source and cause combustible dust in the spill area to burn or explode.  Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.  Clean up residue.  Seal the container.  Dispose of collected material as soon as possible in accordance with applicable local/regional/national/international regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Avoid release to the environment.  Avoid contact with oxidizing agents (eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.)  Processing conditions may reduce the product particle size and create a combustible dust hazard of the material by lowering minimum ignition energy and minimum ignition temperature.  Dust clouds of this material in sufficient concentration in combination with an ignition source may be explosive.  Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces because of the potential for secondary explosions.  Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that combustible dusts do not accumulate on surfaces.  Solids can generate static electricity charges when transferred and in mixing operations sufficient to be an ignition source.  Evaluate the need for precautions, such as grounding and bonding, low energy transfer of material (e.g. low speed, short distance), or inert atmospheres.

Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities: Store in a well-ventilated place.  Keep cool.  Keep container tightly closed.  Keep only in original container.  Store away from acids.  Store away from strong bases.  Store away from oxidizing agents.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Occupational exposure limits:  No occupational exposure limit values exist for any of the components listed in Section 3 of this SDS.

Exposure controls

Engineering controls: Provide local exhaust at process emission sources to control exposure near the source and to prevent the escape of dust into the work area.  It is recommended that all dust control equipment (such as local exhaust ventilation), process equipment, and material transport systems involved in handling of this product be evaluated for the need for explosion-protection safeguards.  Recognized safeguards include explosion relief vents, explosion suppression systems, and oxygen deficient process environments.  Evaluate the need for electrically classified equipment.

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection: Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment.  The following eye/face protection(s) are recommended:

Safety Glasses with side shields

Applicable norms/standards: Use eye protection conforming to EN 166

Skin/hand protection: No chemical protective gloves are required.

Respiratory protection: None required.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

This material may be reactive with certain agents under certain conditions - see the remaining headings in this section.

Chemical stability: Stable.  

 

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.  

Conditions to avoid: Combustible dust build-up on surfaces.

Direct sunlight

Sparks and/or flames

Incompatible materials:

Strong oxidizing agents

Strong acids

Strong bases

Hazardous decomposition products: None known

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Dispose of contents/ container in accordance with the local/regional/national/international regulations.

Dispose of waste product in a permitted industrial waste facility. As a disposal alternative, incinerate in a permitted waste incineration facility. Proper destruction may require the use of additional fuel during incineration processes. Empty drums/barrels/containers used for transporting and handling hazardous chemicals (chemical substances/mixtures/preparations classified as Hazardous as per  applicable regulations) shall be considered, stored, treated & disposed of as hazardous wastes unless otherwise defined by applicable waste regulations. Consult with the respective regulating authorities to determine the available treatment and disposal facilities.
