Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Ingestion : Never attempt to induce vomiting. Do not attempt to give any solid or liquid by mouth if the exposed subject is unconscious or semi-conscious. Wash out the mouth with water. If the exposed subject is fully conscious, give plenty of water to drink. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, move exposed subject to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or ceases, ensure and
maintain ventilation. Give oxygen as appropriate. The exposed subject should be kept warm and at rest. Obtain medical attention in cases of known
or possible over exposure, or with symptoms including chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness or other adverse effects, which may be delayed.
Skin contact: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, remove contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with large amounts of water. Obtain medical attention if skin reaction occurs, which may be immediate or delayed.
Eye contact : Wash immediately with clean and gently flowing water. Continue for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
This material is non-combustible.
Dust clouds are potentially highly sensitive to ignition from incendive electrostatic discharges.
Dust clouds are of low sensitivity to ignition from hot surfaces.
No ignition or exotherm of a powder layer observed up to 400 °C.
Suitable Extinguishing Media
No special requirements needed. Water is recommended for fires involving packaging.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
Since toxic, corrosive or flammable vapours might be evolved from fires involving this material,
self contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment are recommended for
firefighters. Move containers from the fire area if possible without increased personal risk. If
possible, contain and collect firefighting water for later disposal.
Specific Hazards arising from
the Material
Toxic, corrosive or flammable thermal decomposition products, which might include fluorine
compounds, are expected when the material is exposed to fire.
Accidental release measures
Personal Precautions
Fence or cordon the affected area and do not allow individuals to touch or walk through the spilled
material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid dust generation.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, surface drainage systems and poorly ventilated areas.
If spill is outdoors, cover with plastic sheet to minimise spreading or contact with rain.
Clean-up Methods
Collect and place it in a suitable, properly labelled container for recovery or disposal. After all solid
or absorbent material has been collected, the area should be vacuumed with HEPA
filter-equipped apparatus.
Decontamination Procedures
No specific decontamination or detoxification procedures have been identified for this material.
Consider use of water, detergent solutions, or other soluble solvents (if specified in Section 9 of
this SDS), for clean-up and decontamination operations.
Handling and storage
General Requirements
Avoid dispersion as a dust cloud.
Depending upon the scale of operation, use of appropriate exhaust ventilation is recommended to
provide routine control of fire and explosion hazards during handling of this material.
Ignition Controls
Bond and earth (ground) all plant and equipment to ensure that no isolated conductors are
present. Isolated conductors can accumulate sufficient electrostatic charge to produce discharges
of many hundreds of milli-Joules.
Consider earthing (grounding) personnel dealing with dusty operations. An isolated (insulated)
human body can readily produce electrostatic discharges in excess of 50 mJ, but have been
recorded up to 100 mJ.
Minimise the use of plastics when handling this material.
The maximum surface temperature of enclosures potentially exposed to this material should be
the lower of the values obtained by taking 2/3 of the minimum ignition temperature for a dust
cloud or 75 K less than the minimum ignition temperature of the dust layer, with a maximum
temperature of 325 °C.
Protective Systems
At both ambient and low humidity, this material is of low conductivity. Generation of electrostatic
charge is considered likely to occur even when handled in an earthed (grounded) environment.
At both ambient and low humidity, this material has an extremely long charge relaxation time.
Accumulation of electrostatic charge will occur even when handled in an earthed (grounded)
environment. Under these conditions, it is considered that this material might present a very high
risk of producing an electrostatic discharge.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE
Keep in tightly closed containers or packages away from moisture and away from sources of
ignition. Avoid prolonged storage at elevated temperatures (greater than room temperature,
approximately 20 degrees C).

Stability and reactivity
Conditions to Avoid
Avoid direct sunlight, conditions that might generate heat and dispersion as a dust cloud.
Disposal considerations
Disposal Recommendations
Collect for recycling or recovery if possible. The recommended method of disposal is incineration.
Wherever possible, disposal should be in an on-site licenced chemical incinerator, if allowed by
the incinerator licence or permit. If no on-site incinerator is available, dispose of material in a
licenced commercial chemical incinerator.
Regulatory Requirements
Observe all local and national regulations when disposing of this material.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
