Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
If inhaled -If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respirationIn case of skin contact - Wash off with soap and plenty of water.In case of eye contact - Flush eyes with water as a precaution.If swallowed - Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media - Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.Special protective equipment for fire-fighters - Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.Further information - The product itself does not burn.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions - Avoid dust formation.Environmental precautions - Do not let product enter drains.Methods for cleaning up - Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
Store below 40 deg C (104 deg F), preferably between 15 and 30 deg C (59 and 86 deg F), unless otherwise specified by manufacturer. Store in a tight container.Handling - Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Respiratory protection - Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95(US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).Hand protection - Handle with gloves.Eye protection - Safety glassesHygiene measures - General industrial hygiene practice
Stability and reactivity
Incompatibilities: mercurous chloride in presence of an excess of potassium iodide produces metallic mercury & mercuric iodide, the latter forming the soluble double salt, potassium mercuric iodide. Stable in dry air . Light and moisture accelerate decompn.VOLATILIZES @ HIGHER TEMP /melting point 680 deg C/
Disposal considerations
The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
