Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Where cleaning is not expected to be effective due to either solubility properties of the contaminant or degradation of the contaminated clothing/shoes, dispose of properly utilizing appropriate methods.
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Ingestion : Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Note to physician : Treat supportively and symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Flash Point 80°C (176°F).
Combustibility Information : Combustion Class 6 - Fire Spreads- Very rapid burning with flames- rate 75 cm/min at 22°C. A wet zone stop the propagation of the flame.
Dust Explosivity Information : Explosion characteristics- Strong
Kst =329 bar m/sec, Pmax= 7.4 bar.
Minimum Ignition Energy
(MIE) 1 mJ Minimum Ignition Energy
(MIE) 1 mJ Minimum Ignition Temperature
480ºCFire/Explosion Hazards: May present an explosion hazard when material is suspended in air in confined areas or equipment and subjected to spark, heat or flame. Material may ignite when impinged upon by heat or flames producing thick black smoke. Fire was self-supporting in tests.
Special Fire Procedures : Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
Extinguishing Media : In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam or dry chemicals.
Hazardous Decomposition Products : These products are carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides as well as boron oxides.

Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Follow all fire
fighting procedures .
Method for cleaning-up : If emergency personnel are unavailable, carefully scoop up spilled materials and place in a sealed, liquid-proof container for disposal. If materials are dry avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Minimize contact of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to surface waterways.

Handling and storage

Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Eye/Face Protection : Safety glasses with side shields. Where the work environment or activity involves dusty conditions, mists or aerosols, wear the
appropriate goggles. Wear a faceshield or other full face protection if there is a potential for direct contact to the face with dusts, mists, or aerosols.
Skin Protection : Double disposable chemical resistant gloves. Additional body garments should be used based upon the task being performed
(e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets, disposable suits) to avoid exposed skin surfaces. Use appropriate degowning techniques to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Respiratory protection : Use an appropriate approved air-purifying respirator equipped with HEPA cartridges/canisters where there is the potential for exceeding established occupational exposure limits or occupational exposure bands. When handling a compound in
solution, a cartridge/canister appropriate for the solution may also be needed. Use a positive pressure, air-supplied, pressure demand tight fitting respirator (e.g., SCBA or airline equipped with emergency escape bottle) where there is a potential for uncontrolled releases in excess of the respirator's capabiliites, where exposure levels are unknown or where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Additional protective equipment : Disposable outer garments or chemical resistant garments of equal or greater protection.

Stability and reactivity

Stability : The product is stable.
Incompatibility : Tetrahydrofuran : Oxidizing agents and acids. May form peroxides in the presence of air or upon prolong standing. May react with oxygen to form unstable peroxides. Peroxides are thermally unstable and shock sensitive.
Hazardous decomposition products : These products are carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides as well as boron oxides.

Disposal considerations

Waste disposal information : Avoid contact of spilled material and runoff with soil and surface waterways. Dispose of or treat all spill residues including contaminated soils following all applicable regulations.
