Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Remove to fresh air. If respiratory syptoms develop, seek
medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash out with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical advice if irritation occurs.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated
clothes and launder before using again. Seek medical advice
if redness occurs.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical
attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, water fog, dry agent, carbon dioxide or dry sand.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg benzene, naphthalene,
triphenylphosphine, triphenylphosphine oxide, phenol,
1-naphthoic acid, carbon dioxide, 1-phenylnaphthalene,
biphenyl, methyl 1-naphthoate). There is experimental
evidence to support the anticipated combustion products.

See Annex 9

Product determined by test: Y

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus must be worn.

Fight fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to
the relevant national or international standards as
mentioned in section 2.3.10.


Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb
spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg
sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste
containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.
Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in
the same way as the original containers.


Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.


Dispose of waste material by incineration or landfill in
accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure by
ingestion, inhalation, skin and eye contact.


Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance.


When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.
Such protective equipmemt should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard prEN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard prEN166


When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be
used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.


The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a
minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry well-ventilated area.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 10Kg polyethylene bags.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: The substance as a neat powder would have a potential dust
explosion hazard, but the substance is supplied in the EU in
highly densified tablet form so no dust explosion hazard is
anticipated.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Handling of the substance will be by trained operators and
will be kept to a minimum.


Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from
minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically
or technically feasible, and such waste material will be
disposed of by incineration or landfill. In principle, it
may be possible to recover larger spillages of
uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is not
considered hazardous to health or to the environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with
inert material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by
landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local
regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg benzene,
naphthalene, triphenylphosphine, triphenylphosphine oxide,
phenol, 1-naphthoic acid, 1-phenylnaphthalene, biphenyl,
methyl-1-naphthoate and carbon dioxide) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,
adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be
unlikely.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.
