Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Immediately remove to fresh air. Consult a physician if
irritating symptoms develop and persist.
Emergency measure - Eyes: After contact with the eyes: rinse eyes with running water.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Emergency measure - Skin: After contact with the skin, wash immediately with plenty of
water and soap. If skin irritation persists, call a
physician.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: After ingestion or accident:

Only as long as the patient is fully conscious: wash mouth
and have the victim drink copious amounts of water (often
vomiting will be induced). Consult a physician if feeling
sick.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: No restrictions: water, foam, sand, CO2.

Product arising from burning: Hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear heavy protective clothes and a self contained breathing
aparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: In the event of spillage sweep up and dispose of in a
suitable container for disposal to prevent contamination of
soil, drains and surface waters.


Respiratory protection: Approved respirator (EN12941/2 or
airhood (EN1835).

Skin / Hand protection: Disposable suit (EN369/374-3) and
gloves (EN388 and EN374).


Eye protection: Appropriate protective safety glasses or
goggles.

Plant PPE procedure: Dressing and undressing procedure
followed.

Handling and storage

Handling: All handling is carried out in enclosures. Persons within
the enclosure wear personal protective equipment as detailed
in section 2.1.60. Enclosures have negative pressure to
prevent exposure of persons outside the enclosure. The
specified PPE has an assigned protection factor of 100.

Storage: Stored in plastic kegs with steel ring closure mechanism for
lid seal. The substance is supplied in 90 kg net bags to
reduce handling and opportunities for loss of
containment. The packaged substance is kept in racking
within a purpose-built high bay warehouse.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Stored in plastic kegs with steel ring closure mechanism for
lid seal. The substance is supplied in 90 kg net bags to
reduce handling and opportunities for loss of containment.
The packaged substance is kept in racking within a purpose-
built high bay warehouse.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: No particular danger expected.

Chemical reaction with water: No formation of explosive vapours.

Dust explosion: Weak dust explosion (10-30 mJ) in the MIKE III test

(Minimal ignition energy test without inductance)

Dust explosion determined by test: Y

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The material is not recycled. In normal usage, it is
consumed in the process, i.e. stoichiometric proportions are
used in the process, not an excess, that would require
recovery and re-use. In the event of an accidental
spillage, the material would be regarded as unsuitable for
pharmaceutical production and would be incinerated.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No specific method available, other than incineration in a
controlled furnace.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Possible, in a licenced incinerator (formation of corrosive
gases)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Small amounts (few kg's)can be released into sewage
treatment works (see Part 7, risk assessment).
