Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Give oxygen if difficulty in
breathing is observed. Seek medical attention if symptoms
persist.
Emergency measure - Eyes: In case of contact with eyes, rinse affected area with
appropriate eye-wash for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
advice.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water; remove contaminated
clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: CO2, dry powder or foam. Do not use water.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a
fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and platinum oxides
and chlorine containing compounds).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus must be worn.


Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as detailed
in section 2.3.10.


Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material
(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste
containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.
Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in
the same way as the original substance containers.


Clean the spillage area with detergent and water. Retain
washings for precious metal recovery.


Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations by metal reclamation.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.


Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance.


When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards as follows;


Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.


Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be
used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,
be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate
international or national standards, such as a vapour mask
conforming to EN405 FFA1.


These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry well-ventilated area, under conditions of
darkness.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 1H1 UN Specification 200 litre drum.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Handling of the substance will be by trained operators, and
will be kept to a minimum.


Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from
minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically
or technically feasible, and such waste material will be
disposed of by precious metal recovery. In principle, it may
be possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated
material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with
inert material (eg. sand or soil) will be disposed of by
precious metal recovery at an authorised site in accordance
with local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and
platinum oxides and chlorine containing compounds) could be
formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,
adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be
unlikely.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable. The substance is not made available to the
public domain.
