Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

General advice:


First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport in stable sideways position (recovery position). Immediately remove contaminated clothing.


If inhaled:


Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.


On skin contact:


Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.


On contact with eyes:


Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.


On ingestion:


Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.


 


Note to physician:       


Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.  If hemolysis is suspected, monitor hemoglobin, hematocrit, plasma free hemoglobin, and urinalysis. Whole blood or packed RBC transfusion may be required in severe cases. Alkalinization of urine with bicarbonate may prevent renal damage. Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient.       

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:


water spray, dry powder, foam


Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:


Endangering substances: harmful vapours, carbon oxides


Advice: Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.


Advice for fire-fighters:


Special protective equipment:


Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.


Further information:


The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.


 

Accidental release measures

High risk of slipping due to leakage/spillage of product.


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:


Use personal protective clothing. 


Environmental precautions:


Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.


Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:


For large amounts: Dike spillage. Pump off product.


For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material.


Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.       

Handling and storage

Handling       


Precautions for safe handling:


Prevent contact with air/oxygen (formation of peroxide).


 


Protection against fire and explosion:


Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.


Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:


Suitable materials for containers: Stove-lacquer RDL 50, glass, High density polyethylene (HDPE), Low density polyethylene (LDPE), tinned carbon steel (Tinplate), Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2), Stainless steel 1.4306 (V2A), Stainless steel 1.4361, Stainless steel 1.4401, Stainless steel 1.4541, Stainless steel 1.4571, Stainless steel 1.4439


Further information on storage conditions:  Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect from atmospheric humidity. Protect against moisture. Prevent entry of air/oxygen. Formation of peroxides.


 


The product is not damaged by low temperatures or by frost.


Protect from temperatures above:100 °C

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment


Respiratory protection:


Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Particle filter with medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)


 


Hand protection:


Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1)


Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended:  Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1):


fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness


Polyethylene-Laminate (PE laminate) - ca. 0.1 mm coating thickness


Suitable materials for short-term contact (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1)


nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness


Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.


Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.


 


Eye protection:


Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.


Body protection:


Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).


General safety and hygiene measures


Wearing of closed work clothing is recommended. No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.


Personal protective equipment


Respiratory protection:


Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Particle filter with medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)
