Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 soiled, soaked clothing immediately. Medical treatment is necessary if symptoms occur which are obviously caused by skin or eye contact

with the product or by inhalation of its vapours.

Inhalation

Move subject to fresh air and keep him calm. In case of complaints get medical treatment.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs consult a physician.

Eye contact

Flush eyes thoroughly with a large amount of water and consult a physician.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

water

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

None known

Advice for firefighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Take care for adequate ventilation. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away sources of ignition. Use breathing

apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/mist/aerosol.

Environmental precautions

Prevent product from getting into drains/surface water/groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Larger quantities: Remove mechanically (by pumping). Use explosion-proof equipment! Smaller quantities and/or residues:

Contain with absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid absorbent, universal absorbent or sawdust). Dispose

of in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Safe handling advice

Ensure the area is well ventilated. Keep container tightly closed.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Keep away from sources of ignition --- No smoking. Take precautionary measures

against static discharges. In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with

water. When heated above the flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing),

ignitible mixtures may form in air.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers

Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C. Protect

from light. Fill the container by approximately 90 % only as oxygen (air) is required

for stabilisation. With large storage containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is

sufficient to ensure stability. Can polymerize with intense heat release.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

For monitoring procedures refer to for instance "Empfohlene Analysenverfahren für Arbeitsplatzmessungen",

Schriftenreihe der Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz and "NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods", National Institute for

Occupational Safety and Health

Protective measures

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale vapours.

Hygiene measures

Store work clothing separately. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately.

Follow the usual good standards of occupational hygiene. Clean skin thoroughly

after work; apply skin cream.

Respiratory protection

Breathing apparatus in case of high concentrations, short term: filter appliance, filter A

Hand protection

butyl rubber gloves (minimal thickness 0.6 mm), Break through time 300 min

In practice, due to variable exposure conditions, this information can only be an aid

to orientation for the selection of a suitable chemical protection glove. In particular,

this information does not substitute suitability tests by the end user.

Splash protection

neoprene gloves

General information

In permeation tests butyl and nitril rubber gloves perform better than latex or natural rubber.

Gloves should be replaced regularly, especially after extended contact with the

product. For each work-place a suitable glove type has to be selected.

Eye protection

tightly fitting goggles

Skin and body protection

On handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and apron

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity/Chemical Stability

No decomposition when used as directed.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Polymerization with heat evolution may occur in the presence of radical forming substances (e.g. peroxides), reducing

substances, and/or heavy metal ions.

Conditions to avoid

The product is normally supplied in a stabilized form. If the permissible storage period and/or storage temperature is

exceeded, the product may polymerize with heat evolution.

Hazardous decomposition products

None when used as directed.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Product

Waste is hazardous and therefore particularly to be kept under surveillance. It must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations after

consultation of the competent local authorities and the disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility.

Uncleaned packaging

Contaminated packaging should be emptied optimally and after appropriate professional cleansing may be taken for reuse. Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of professionally. Uncontaminated packaging may be taken for recycling.

Code of waste

EWC 07 02 08*

waste from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use (MFSU) of plastics, synthetic rubber and man-made fibres - other still bottoms and

reaction residues

Always check the given waste codes according to the actual conditions of manufacturing, formulation or use in your facilities.
