Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Inhalation:

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.

Get medical attention if symptoms occur. In case of inhalation of decomposition

products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be

kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Ingestion:

Wash out mouth with water. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a

position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed

person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting

unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms

occur.

Skin contact:

Wash skin immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated

clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash clothing before

reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Eye contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower

eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation

occurs.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Hazards from the substance or mixture: Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air.

Hazardous thermal decomposition products: Decomposition products may include the following materials:

carbon dioxide

carbon monoxide

nitrogen oxides

Advice for firefighters:

Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if

there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without

suitable training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk.

Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained

breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure

mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves)

conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for

chemical incidents.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

For non-emergency personnel: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk

through spilt material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in

hazard area. Avoid breathing dust. Put on appropriate personal protective

equipment.

For emergency responders: If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any

information in Section 8 of the safety data sheet on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the

information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains

and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental

pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Small spill: Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof

equipment. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labelled waste

container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large spill: Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,

basements or confined areas. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.

Approach the release from upwind. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a

designated, labelled waste container. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent

wind dispersal. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Reference to other sections:

See Section 1 of the safety data sheet for emergency contact information.

See Section 8 of the safety data sheet for information on appropriate personal protective equipment.

See Section 13 of the safety data sheet for additional waste treatment information.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Protective measures: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid breathing

dust. Avoid the creation of dust when handling and avoid all possible sources of

ignition (spark or flame). Prevent dust accumulation. Use only with adequate

ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Electrical

equipment and lighting should be protected to appropriate standards to prevent dust

coming into contact with hot surfaces, sparks or other ignition sources. Take

precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion,

dissipate static electricity during transfer by earthing and bonding containers and

equipment before transferring material.

Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is

handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,

drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment

before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.

Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and wellventilated

area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and

drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep

container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been

opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store

in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental

contamination.

7.3 Specific end use(s):
