Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Eye contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.  Check for and remove any contact lenses.  Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.  In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed.  The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Skin Contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water.  Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.  If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink.  Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Carbon dioxide, foam, water and dry powder may be used.

Decomposition products: may include the following materials: carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide,nitrogen oxides,metal oxide/oxides

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.  Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves) conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

Accidental release measures

Small Spill: Stop leak if without risk.  Move containers from spill area.  Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble.  Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.  Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large Spill:Stop leak if without risk.  Move containers from spill area.  Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.  Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows.  Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations.  Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Protective Measures: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.  >8 hours (breakthrough time): Viton®

1-4 hours (breakthrough time): nitrile rubber , neoprene , PVC

General Advice:Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.  Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.  Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Store in accordance with local regulations.  Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink.  Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.  Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.  Do not store in unlabelled containers.  Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 20 Tonne stainless steel ISO tank containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

No special ventilation requirements.  Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants.  If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.  Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.  Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.  Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Stability and reactivity

The product is stable.

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should not be produced.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The recovered substance may be recycled in the manufacturing plant and purified by filtration and recrystallisation. (A621)

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance may also be disposed of at a landfill site. (A650)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of at a suitable facility.

Waste gas treatment to remove oxides of nitrogen and metal oxide smoke should be fitted. (A661)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance is readily biodegradable and after appropriate dilution and neutralisation to pH 7 may be released via the sewer system and publicly owned sewage treatment works.

Check with the local authorities before discharge. (A641)

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from preparations is not economically feasible.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: The substance will only enter the public domain in the form of a preparation formulated into household cleaning products intended for drain disposal
