Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from exposure area and allow to rest in fresh air.
Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Irrigate with clean water or isotonic saline for 15 minutes.
Seek medical attention urgently.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and
water. Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention urgently.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry powder, foam or carbon dioxide.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen oxides
and ruthenium containing compounds). However, there is no
experimental evidence to support the anticipated combustion
products.

Product determined by test: N

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

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.


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. Collect
waste water for precious metal recovery at a licensed
recycling plant. Do not wash spillages to the open sewer.


Waste material should be sent to a recovery plant for
reclamation of precious metals.

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 skin,
eye and inhalation exposure.


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 EN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368.

Eye protection to Standard EN166.


When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be
used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN449 FFP1.


The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a
minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated area, away from bright
lights.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Plastic containers supplied within UN specification
fibreboard cartons.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None reported

Chemical reaction with water: None reported.

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from this organic
powder.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will not occur from manufacture
and from use of the substance in the manufacture of cleaning
fluids. Waste material will be reclaimed at a precious metal
recycling unit. Recovery in not feasible once the substance
is blended into the cleaning fluids.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No hazardous properties have been identified during the
notification studies.


The potential dust explosion hazard will be controlled by
appropriate storage and handling techniques.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Spillages of solutions mixed with inert material (eg sand or
soil) may be recycled at a precious metal recovery plant.
Contaminated containers are recycled, until such time they
are incinerated for waste ruthenium recovery.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance may 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.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable.
