Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Not considered to be a direct inhalation hazard, but if dust
is inhaled, move to area of fresh air and give artificial
respiration if breathing has stopped. If there are signs of
discomfort, seek medical advice. Show copy of safety data
sheet or label to medical staff.


(Note: if in contact with dust, ensure that eyes and skin
are suitably cleaned as appropriate)
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with large volumes of water for 10 - 15
minutes. Seek medical attention. Show copy of safety data
sheet or label to the medical staff.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with water and mild soap or detergent. If signs of
discomfort, seek medical attention. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash thoroughly before re-use.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: If subject is conscious, rinse mouth thoroughly and then
drink plenty of water. If signs of discomfort, seek medical
advice. Show copy of safety data sheet or label to medical
staff.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry foam, powder, water spray, carbon dioxide and other
extinguishing agents. No adverse reaction with normal
extinguishing agents is known.

Product arising from burning: Complete combustion will lead to the formation of oxides of
carbon and water. Reduced forms of these oxides (eg. carbon
monoxide) may result from combustion in enclosed spaces.
Other possible combustion products following incomplete
oxidation may include other volatile carbon products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing
apparatus, suitable gloves, goggles and face protection must
be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Collect material while minimising dust generation (through
use of damp mop or other cleaning equipment), place in a
suitably labelled container and dispose of in accordance
with local regulations. Residues and minor spills may be
washed with water to process sewer, if allowable under
national or local regulations.


Personal protective equipment (PPE) including respirator,
suitable gloves and eye protection must be worn.

Handling and storage

Handling: As the substance exists in the dry form, precautions should
be taken to reduce the possibility of dust formation.
Suitable ventilation should be applied to the working area.


When physical or engineering controls are not sufficient to
control dust exposure, approved respiratory equipment to
EN136 standard should be worn. For manufacturing areas,
goggles, coveralls, gowns or other impervious material
together with neoprene, rubber or other suitable gloves
which are impervious to the processing materials must be
worn, so as to avoid contact with eyes or via inhalation.

Storage: Store dry under ambient conditions in sealed, upright fibre
drums and ensure containers are correctly labelled.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Packed in fibre drums, 60 kg maxiumum, UN approved.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with strong oxidising and reducing agents.

Chemical reaction with water: There is not considered to be any adverse reaction with
water.

Dust explosion: The substance is considered to have a low dust content.
However, in exceptional circumstances, the potential for a
dust explosion cannot be ignored and suitable precautions to
prevent the generation of dust is recommended.


The substance was tested to be a combustible dust with a
class ST-1 explosion strength (ASTME 1226 Method). As with
most organic materials, a suspended dust cloud of this
substance may ignite if subjected to a strong ignition
source or high voltage.

Dust explosion determined by test: Y

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance is consumed during use and there is no
opportunity for recovery or recycling.


Waste solvent from production is sent for recovery.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not appropriate.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Trace quantities are destroyed by biological oxidation in
wastewater treatment plants.


Code A641

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: This is recommended, especially for large quantities. Closed
system incinerators with scrubbers should be used in
compliance with local and national legislation.


Code A663

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Trace quantities of SQ 28,449 can be treated in secondary
biological treatment plants before discharge to municipal
treatment works.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: No other recommended methods of disposal.
