Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use good personal hygiene practices Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Do not get
his material in contact with eyes. Do not get this material in contact with skin. Do not get this material on clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling. "Empty" containers retain product residue (liquid or vapour) and can be dangerous. Do not reuse empty containers. Organics can obtain an electrostatic charge during processing activities including: storage, mixing, filtering, or pumping which may represent a spark hazard and, therefore, a fire hazard. Also, a sudden release of such materials from storage or process equipment particularly at elevated temperatures, and/or pressures, can result in ignitions from static absent any apparent ignition source. Flashpoint and autoignition values obtained from standard test conditions may not be applicable to other situations and, thus, the safe use of this material in any process should be reviewed by one familiar with both the storage, processing conditions and this material. Note: materials that are static accumulators may have such high potential differences created that such a situation may result in a discharge as sparks capable of causing ignition of organic vapors. Such discharges can occur from insulated conductors (plant items, drums), bulk liquids, mists and insulating plastic materials.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Use care in handling/storage. The pressure in sealed containers can increase under the influence of heat. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. This material can accumulate static charge which may cause spark and become an ignition source. Prevent electrostatic charge buildup by using common bonding and grounding techniques. Store in a wellventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.

Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or fumes that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards. These may include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National Electrical Code" and NFPA 499, "Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas ". NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that any potential areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For recommendations to prevent such explosions and associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or NFPA 68, "Guide for Venting Deflagrations".
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information
Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin.
Eye/face protection
Avoid contact with eyes. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). If splashes are likely to occur, wear: Faceshield. Eye wash fountain is recommended.
Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear protective gloves.
Other
Do not get this material in contact with skin. Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be
worn. Use a positivepressure airsupplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where airpurifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Thermal hazards

Hygiene measures
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash hands after handling and before eating. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

Disposal considerations
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.
