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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Assist respiration if

necessary, and seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash contamination away immediately with water.

Emergency measure - Skin: Rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical

advice.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Keep patient strictly at rest and transfer to hospital

without delay or seek medical advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder. Water should not be used

since it causes the substance to evolve ammonia.

Product arising from burning: Combustion products: Ammonia, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides

and possibly non-toxic zinc oxide airborne dust. No hydrogen

cyanide gas would be formed.

Undamaged containers of material exposed to, but not

directly involved in, a fire may be removed if without risk.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: When fighting fires a self-contained breathing apparatus

should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear suitable protective equipment (see 2.3.1). Do not

breathe dust or decomposition gases. Damp down any spilled

material (e.g. using damp sand or earth) and vacuum or

shovel into suitable labelled containers for disposal at an

approved landfill or incinerate. Do not allow entry of the

substance to water systems.

Handling and storage

Handling: Wear clean protective overall, protective gloves (PVC or

rubber), head covering, eye protection, and effective dust

mask when handling the concentrated material. Persons

previously sensitised to isocyanates should not work with

this material.

Storage: Store in original container, tightly closed in a safe place.

The substance has been stored for up to 18 months at 25 deg

C with no detectable build up of ammonia. Do not mix with

acids or allow to come into contact with copper.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Not given.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Ammonia is released if heated above 50 deg C.

Chemical reaction with water: No hazardous or vigorous reactions known but the substance

does evolve ammonia in contact with water and reacts to give

zinc compounds (see 5.2.2).

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Sweep up and return to container.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Treatment with acid will decompose the substance to release

carbon dioxide. Residues will contain ammonium salts, zinc

oxide/salts.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at an approved landfill site is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Ammonia, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and zinc oxide may

be formed.  Minimum incineration temperature 1100 deg C,

minimum residence time 3 seconds.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Substance is insoluble and will rapidly hydrolyse.

Therefore, this is not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
