Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and

transport in stable sideways position (recovery position). First aid personnel should pay attention to

their own safety.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.

On skin contact:

Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:

water

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

hydrogen chloride, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides

The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

5.3. Advice for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Fire debris must be disposed of in accordance with offical regulations.

Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Do not empty into drains.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For large amounts: Pump off product.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder,

kieselguhr). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

Protect against moisture.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should

be kept handy.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Suitable materials for containers: glass, High density polyethylene (HDPE)

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool

place. Storage at a proportionate temperature is required, to avoid 'breathing' of containers.

Storage stability:

Storage duration: 6 Months

From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the

warrantee of application properties can be deduced.

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.1. Control parameters

Components with occupational exposure limits

625-36-5: 3-Chloropropionyl chloride

8.2. Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hand protection:

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)

Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,

corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):

butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (recommended: At least protective index 2,

corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)

chloroprene rubber (CR) - 0.5 mm coating thickness

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove

manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.

temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in

practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Eye protection:

Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.

Body protection:

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting

boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case

of dust).

General safety and hygiene measures

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapour/spray.

Stability and reactivity

10.1. Reactivity

Corrosion to metals: Corrosive effect on metals.

Reactions with

water/air:

Reaction with: air

Flammable gases: yes

Which flammable gases: When heated can give off ignitable

vapours., Gaseous hydrocarbons

that may form explosive mixture

with air; hydrogen chloride

formation., See user defined text.

Reaction with: water

Flammable gases: no

Toxic gases: yes

Which toxic gases: hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Corrosive gases: yes

Which corrosive gases: hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Smoke or fog: yes

Type of smoke or fog: Hydrochloric acid

Which Peroxides:

Formation of

flammable gases:

Remarks: Forms no flammable gases in the

presence of water.

10.2. Chemical stability

The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

10.3. Possibility of hazardous reactions

Evolution of corrosive gases/vapours. Reacts with water and basic components to generate heat. On

contact with water, gaseous decomposition products are formed, which cause build-up of pressure in

tightly closed containers. Reacts with alcohols, amines, aqueous acids and alkalies. Reacts with

water and moisture, with formation of hydrogen chloride. Partly very violent reactions with bases and

numerous organic classes of substances such as alcohols and amines. Addition of water leads to

increase in temperature. Vapours may form ignitable mixture with air. Substance/product is highly

reactive. In damp air hydrochloric acid formation is possible. Violent reactions with water and/or

alcohols, with formation of hydrochloric acid. Violent and explosive reaction with water.

10.4. Conditions to avoid

Avoid electro-static charge. Avoid humidity. Avoid heat. Avoid prolonged storage. Disregard of the

conditions mentioned may result in undesirable decomposition reactions.

10.5. Incompatible materials

Substances to avoid:

alkaline reactive substances, alcohols, bases, amines, water

10.6. Hazardous decomposition products

Hazardous decomposition products:

hydrogen chloride

Disposal considerations

13.1. Waste treatment methods

Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.

A waste code in accordance with the European waste catalog (EWC) cannot be specified, due to

dependence on the usage.

The waste code in accordance with the European waste catalog (EWC) must be specified in

cooperation with disposal agency/manufacturer/authorities.

Contaminated packaging:

Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for

recycling after being thoroughly cleaned.
