Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

General advice:

Remove contaminated clothing. Remove affected person from danger area. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport instable sideways position (recovery position). Show container, label and/or safety data sheet to

physician.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Wash thoroughly with soap and water.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,

consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

dry extinguishing media, foam, carbon dioxide

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:

water

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Burning produces harmful and toxic fumes.

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Collect contaminated extinguishing

water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems.

Fire debris must be disposed of in accordance with offical regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions:

Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up:

For small amounts: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose

binder, kieselguhr).

For large amounts: Dike spillage. Vacuum up spilled product.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material.

Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should

be kept handy.

Storage

Suitable materials for containers: High density polyethylene (HDPE), Low density polyethylene

(LDPE), aluminum, Stove-lacquer RDL 50, glass, tin (tinplate)

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated

place. Protect from the effects of light.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Components with workplace control parameters

none

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic

compounds (boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)

Hand protection:

Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact

(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN

374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) and other

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove

manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.

temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice

may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eye protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

General safety and hygiene measures:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Hands and/or face should be

washed before breaks and at the end of the shift.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability:

The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Hazardous reactions:

When finely distributed, self-ignition is possible.

Conditions to avoid:

Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

Hazardous decomposition products:

No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Disposal considerations

Observe national and local legal requirements.
