Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Do not use organic solvents.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of eye irritation, seek medical attention.

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. In case of irritation of respiratory system or mucous membranes, seek medical attention. In case of

indisposition, seek medical attention. In case of prolonged exposure, seek medical attention.

Ingestion

Immediately give plenty (> 500 ml) of water (if possible charcoal slurry). In case of spontaneous vomiting be sure that

vomitus can freely drain due to danger of suffocation. Give water repeatedly. Artificial induction of vomiting should

be restricted to first aid staff. Give nothing by mouth in cases of unconsciousness or convulsion. Seek medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry powder

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

High volume water jet

Exposure hazards

Contaminated water from fire hoses or sprinklers, etc., must be prevented from draining into watercourses, sewers, or

the ground water. Sufficient measures must be taken to retain water used for extinguishing. Contaminated water and

soil must be disposed of in conformity with local regulations.

Special protective equipment for firefighters

Wear full protective clothing. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Combustion products

Oxides of carbon; Oxides of nitrogen (NOx); Oxides of phosphorus; Hydrogen cyanide; Toxic gases/vapours

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Do not inhale or ingest. Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Environmental precautions

Do not flush into surface water, sanitary sewer or ground water system.

Methods for cleaning up

Use mechanical handling equipment. Collect the spilled product into suitable containers, which must be tightly sealed

and properly labelled. Avoid dust formation.

Handling and storage

Handling

Handle and open container with care. Avoid dust formation and ignition sources. Ensure good local exhaust

ventilation. Do not eat, drink or smoke at the workplace.

Storage

Keep away from food and drink. Store in the original container securely closed.

Danger! Explosion risk. Risk of explosion if an air-dust mixture forms. Avoid creating dusty conditions. Empty only

into earthed containers. If container is larger than 2000 liter in volume, or when flammable solvents are present inert

container or use a system otherwise designed to prevent or contain an explosion -- seek expert advice.

Stability and reactivity

Decomposition temperature: 250 °C OECD 113;

Conditions to avoid: Static discharges;

Materials to avoid: Strong acids, strong bases and

strong oxidising agents;

Hazardous decomposition products: Oxides of carbon, Oxides of

nitrogen (NOx), Oxides of

Disposal considerations

Waste from residues / unused products

Residual chemical should be disposed by incineration or by other modes of disposal in compliance with local

legislation.

Contaminated packaging

Contaminated packaging material should be treated equivalent to residual chemical. Clean packaging material should

be subjected to waste management schemes (recovery recycling, reuse) according to local legislation.
