Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Immediately bring to frish air. Consult a doctor.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes;
consult a doctor.
Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated
areas with plenty of soap and water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: If symptoms occur, consult a doctor immediately. Treat
symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry powder, earth, sand, CO2, foam, water mist
Product arising from burning: H2O, CO2; in a low temperature fire, also CO and soot
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Avoid breathing dust, if necessary wear breathing
protection. Avoid contact with eyes. When handling, wear
protective clothing, protective gloves and goggles. Before
collecting absorb onto sand or earth and immediatly sweep up
or, preferable, use an approved industrial vacuum cleaner.
Keep spilled material in a tightly closed container in a
safe place until disposal. Lable the container according to
the regulations. Avoid contamination of the floor. Do not
wash away with water. Ask appropriate authorities for
disposal.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid dusting during handling, charging, dicharging. Do not
recirculate exhausted air into the ambient air at the
workplace. Exhaust system should be operative (maximum
exhaust rate 0.8 m/sec.). Use closed systems, closed
charging, transferrring and batching equipment. Avoid
breathing dust: wear dust mask. Avoid skin contact: wear
protective clothing, including rubber or polyethylene apron.
Protect hands with rubber or polyethylene gauntlets. Wear
eye protection and chemical-resistent boots. Store work
clothes and personal protective equipment separately from
outdoor clothing. Molten material can react exothermically
with amines, Lewis acids, mercaptanes, phenols, organic
acids and acid unhydrides. In the solid stage, violent
reactions with strong acids and strong oxidizing agents are
possible.
Storage: Store only in undamaged, unbreakable and tightly closed
original containers. Avoid leaving residues on containers.
Lable correctly. Store only in cool and dry rooms with
ventilation or extraction. Keep away from naked flames and
high temperatures. Take precautions against static electric
charges. Store away food and food stuffs. Keep out of reach
of children.

- Remarks:
- Transport: Transport only in undamaged, unbreakable and tightly closed
original containers. Avoid leavig residues on containers.
Lable correctly. Secure against toppling over or sliding.
Remove residues on containers before transport. Do not
transport without accident emergency instruction sheet. Do
not transport with food or food stuff.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Stability and reactivity
Danger other than fire: In the stage (solid) in which the substance is placed on the
market it is neither flammable nor explosive. Only finely
ground particles as a dust cloud can ignite and lead to a
dust explosion.
Chemical reaction with water: No chemical reaction with water.
Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: No possibilities
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Neutralisation by special techniques (Mixing with a
hardener)
(634)
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: After a reaction with a hardener, the substance is very
stable and may therefore be disposed of as waste in a
controlled manner.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: In a modern waste incineration plant. During process
additional energy is obtained. The substance contains no
halogens.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: not applicable
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable because substance is a component for the
production of resins, it will not reach public at large.
