Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Use oxygen as required, provided a qualified operator is present. Call a physician.

Skin contact:

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.

Eye contact:

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.

Note to physician:

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

- Dry chemical

- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

- Water may be ineffective.

- Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Specific hazards during firefighting:

- Flammable.

- Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

- Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.

- Vapors may travel to areas away from work site before igniting/flashing back to vapor source.

- In case of fire hazardous decomposition products may be produced such as:

     Carbon monoxide

     Carbon dioxide (CO2)

     Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

     Acetonitrile

     Acetaldehyde

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

- Wear personal protective equipment. Unprotected persons must be kept away.

- Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

- Ensure adequate ventilation.

- Remove all sources of ignition.

- Do not swallow.

- Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas.

- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Environmental precautions:

- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

- Do not let product enter drains.

- Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

- Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

- Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers).

- Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Methods for cleaning up:

- Ventilate the area.

- No sparking tools should be used.

- Use explosion-proof equipment.

- Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling:

- Wear personal protective equipment.

- Use only in well-ventilated areas.

- Keep container tightly closed.

- Do not smoke.

- Do not swallow.

- Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas.

- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

- Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces.

- Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

- Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations.

- Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.

- No sparking tools should be used.

- Use explosion-proof equipment.

- No smoking.

Requirements for storage areas and containers:

- Store in area designed for storage of flammable liquids. Protect from physical damage.

- Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

- Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Keep away from direct sunlight.

- Store away from incompatible substances.

- Container hazardous when empty.

- Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat or sources of ignition.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Protective measures:

- Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Engineering measures:

- Use with local exhaust ventilation.

- Prevent vapor buildup by providing adequate ventilation during and after use.

Eye protection:

- Do not wear contact lenses.

- Wear as appropriate:

- Safety glasses with side-shields

- If splashes are likely to occur, wear:

- Goggles or face shield, giving complete protection to eyes

Hand protection:

- Solvent-resistant gloves

- Gloves must be inspected prior to use.

- Replace when worn.

Skin and body protection:

- Wear as appropriate:

- Solvent-resistant apron and boots

- Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing

- If splashes are likely to occur, wear:

- Protective suit

Respiratory protection:

- When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.

- For rescue and maintenance work in storage tanks use self-contained breathing apparatus.

- Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection.

Hygiene measures:
