Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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. If irritation persists, or
victim develops repiratory symptoms, seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash out eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. If
irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash skin with soap and water. Relaunder clothing before
re-use. Seek medical advice if irritation occurs.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Drink plenty of water. Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, CO2, Foam, Dry powder, Sand

Product arising from burning: The substance is highly flammable and will burn if involved
in a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon, sulfur and
carbon oxides). However, there is no experimental evidence
to support the anticipated combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

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

Accidental release measures

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


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to
the relevant national or international standards as
mentioned in section 2.3.10.


Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb
spillages of powder 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 containers.


Clean the spillage area with water and detergent. Avoid
directing washings to the open sewer.


Dispose of waste material by landfill or incineration in
accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in
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 prEN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard prEN166


When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be
used. e.g.a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.


The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a
minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry well-ventilated area, in the dark.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance, as part of the preparation is packaged in
100, 1000 or 4000g polyethylene bottles. These are then
transported in a cardboard box with 20 - 30 kg of dry ice.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from the neat
organic powder.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: 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 incineration or landfill. In principle, it
may be possible to recover larger spillages of
uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have revealed no hazardous health
properties.

The studies have shown the substance to be highly flammable.


No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the
hazardous physico-chemical properties.


The potential dust explosion hazard will be minimised by
appropriate handling and storage.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with
inert material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by
landfill at an authorised tip 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,
sulphur and nitrogen oxides) 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 as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable as 100% of the substance is used in industry.
