Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

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.

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.

Skin Contact:

Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and

shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

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.

Fire-fighting measures

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

No unsuitable extinguishing media known.

In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

Decomposition products may include the following materials:

carbon dioxide

carbon monoxide

nitrogen oxides

metal oxide/oxides

Advice for firefighters:

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.

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

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from

entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate personal

protective equipment.

Avoid dispersal of spilled 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).

Small spill:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop

up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry

material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a

licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large spill:

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers,

water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent

treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with noncombustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth

and place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Dispose of via a

licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

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.

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. 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 unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

When stored at low temperatures some solidification may occur. The product may be re-liquified by heating to 20 - 25°C and mixing prior to use.

Exposure controls / personal protection

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace

atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness

of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory

protective equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards, such as

the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace atmospheres - Guidance for

the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with

limit values and measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace

atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of

exposure to chemical and biological agents) European Standard EN 482

(Workplace atmospheres - General requirements for the performance of procedures

for the measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance

documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be

required.

Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne

contaminants.

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before

eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.

Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.

Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and

safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk

assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or

dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the

assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-shields.

Recommended: splash goggles

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should

be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates

this is necessary.

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task

being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist

before handling this product. Recommended: lab coat

Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be

selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be

approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved

standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must

be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and

the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Recommended: Vapor and dust

respirator.

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure

they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some

cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment

will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Stability and reactivity

The product is stable.

Disposal considerations

The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible.

Disposal of this product, solutions and any by-products should at all times comply

with the requirements of environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and

any regional local authority requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable

products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste should not be disposed of

untreated to the sewer unless fully compliant with the requirements of all authorities

with jurisdiction.
