Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
clothing separately from other articles before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persist
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Hold eyelids apart periodically while flushing. Quickly and gently blot or brush chemical off the face.
Continue to rinse until medical personnel arrive.
Inhalation: Remove the victim from the contaminated area while protecting yourself from exposure by wearing an
appropriate respirator. Put a similar respirator on the victim Get medical attention immediately. If the
victim has stopped breathing check the pulse. If the heart stops, administer CPR.
Ingestion: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY due to the corrosion potential of this material. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean victim
forward to reduce risk of aspiration into lungs. Administer water as soon as possible if the victim is
conscious and capable of drinking without assistance. Have victim rinse mouth thorough with water if
alert and capable.
Fire-fighting measures
Hazardous Products of Combustion: Irritating and/or toxic fumes may be released if this material is burned.
Potential for Dust Explosion: Not applicable.
Special Flammability Hazards: Vapor may be ignited by a static discharge.
Possible explosion hazard. Do not use water, halon, or foam directly on product. Reacts rapidly
with water to form flammable hydrogen gas and strong caustic solution. Product begins to self
heat at 190°C with violent decomposition at 320°C. Closed containers may rupture violently when
heated, due to thermal expansion. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Avoid all static,
flame, heat and spark producing equipment. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a
source of ignition and flash back. Concentrated solutions (> 70%) may ignite when large surface
areas are exposed to air. Dried residues flash on contact with moisture. Ignites rapidly if exposed
to ignition sources.
Basic Fire Fighting Guidance: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Flammability Classification (OSHA):
Flammable Liquid - Class I B
Accidental release measures
Evacuation Procedures: Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Special Instructions: Remove all contaminated clothing to prevent further absorption. Decontaminate affected personnel
using the first aid procedures in Section 4. Leather shoes that have been saturated must be
discarded.
Containment Techniques and Clean-up Procedures: Remove all ignition sources.
Handling and storage
Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking after handling this material.
Storage Precautions & Recommendations:
Limit quantity of material stored. Prevent contact with moisture. Moisture will impact product
performance. Store in a tightly closed container Keep under a nitrogen blanket
Dangerous Incompatibility Reactions: Contact with water and other compounds which possess active hydrogen (e.g. protic solvents such
as alcohols, etc.), will rapidly decompose this product forming hydrogen, 2-methoxyethanol,
aluminium and sodium hydroxide. Avoid contact with paper, cloth and other cellulose based
materials. Contact with water liberates highly flammable gases
Incompatibilities with Materials of Construction: This product will corrode aluminum, Teflon and other plastics.

Exposure controls / personal protection
NIOSH approved chemical cartridge respirator or supplied air breathing apparatus. Where splashing,
misting or contact with eyes is likely, wear a face shield.
Respirator Caution: Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134). Air-purifying respirators must not
be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Ventilation: All operations should be conducted in well-ventilated conditions. Local exhaust ventilation should be
provided.
Other Engineering Controls: All appropriate engineering controls should be used to minimize exposure potential. Use exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
Stability and reactivity
Can react violently with water. Can violently decompose at high temperatures.
Conditions to avoid Any ignition source, including static discharge. Strong oxidizers. Contact with water (reacts with
water).
Incompatible materials Contact with water and other compounds which possess active hydrogen (e.g. protic solvents such as
alcohols, etc.), will rapidly decompose this product forming hydrogen, 2-methoxyethanol, aluminium
and sodium hydroxide. Avoid contact with paper, cloth and other cellulose based materials.; Contact
with water liberates highly flammable gases
Hazardous decomposition
products
Contact with water and other compounds which possess active hydrogen (e.g. protic solvents such as alcohols, etc.), will rapidly decompose this product forming hydrogen, 2-methoxyethanol, aluminium and sodium hydroxide. Avoid contact with paper, cloth and other cellulose based materials.
Disposal considerations
Dispose of this material in accordance with standard practice for disposal of potentially hazardous materials as required by applicable international, national, regional, state or local laws. Do NOT dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. For disposal within the EC, the appropriate
code according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) should be used. Note that disposal regulations may also apply to empty containers and equipment rinsates.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
