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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove affected person from the immediate area. Ensure
supply of fresh air. In case of indisposition seek medical
advice.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Separate eyelids and rinse for 15 minutes with plenty of
water. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothes. Wash off immediately with soap
and water. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: If person is conscious: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
Seek medical advice immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: In case of fire, normal extinguishing media may be used
(e.g. water, CO2, foam, dry powder).
Product arising from burning: Substance itself does not present a fire hazard. If involved
in a fire, nitric oxides and sulphur dioxide may be
produced and selfcontained breathing apparatus should then
be used.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective
clothing.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: For spillage, wash with copious quantities of water and
discharge in accordance with local/ national regulations.
Do not allow to enter drains or waterways. Wear protective
clothing (safety goggles, gloves).
Handling and storage
Handling: The usual precautions for handling with chemicals should be
observed.
Storage: No particular recommendations.
Normally stored in closed containers in adequate rooms.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Sealed steel drums.

Dust explosion determined by test: N
Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Normal application results in the consumption of over 95% by
irreversible binding to leather or paper.
Recovery for recycling of the remaining highly water soluble
substance is not reasonably practicable.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No unacceptable risks. Therefore not applicable.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Discharge in a controlled deposit is possible.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Discharge by incineration in suitable plant is possible.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: It is estimated that far less than 5% of the total quantity
used (50 - 750 kg distributed to about 30 customers in the
first 2 years) is discharged into internal industrial
effluents as a highly diluted solution. Tanneries, dye-works
and paper-mills are well aware of this waste water and
remedy it by installing prepurification plants. Part of it
will be discharged into industrial effluent. Total aerobic
degradation is possible (see BOD/ COD results).
There are good indications that the dye will be destroyed by
anaerobic biodegradation as well (see literature indexed
below):
(1) The degradation of dyestuffs: Part 1.
Primary biodegradation under anaerobic conditions, D. Brown
and P. Laboureur, demonstration the anaerobic
biodegradability of 6 commercial bis-azo-dyes (ETAD
project). Chemosphere, Vol. 12, no.3, pp 397-404 (1983).
(2) ETAD-project E 3013, Sediment analysis, status report,
June 27, 1980 which demonstrates absence of synthetic
colorants in sediment taken from Rhine river.
