pentasodium N-[5-[[4-[[3-[(aminocarbonyl)amino]-4-[(3,6,8-trisulfonatonaphthalen-2-yl)azo]phenyl]amino]-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino]-2-sulfonato-4-[[4-[[-2-(oxysulfonato)ethyl] sulfonyl]phenyl]azo]phenyl]-3-aminopropanoic acid

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.  If respiratory symptoms develop, seek

medical attention.  If not breathing, give artificial

respiration.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  Seek

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at

least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally.

Seek immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water for at least 15

minutes, then rinse with water.  Seek medical attention if

irritation develops.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Rinse out mouth with water and drinks fluids to dilute. Seek

immediate medical attention.  Never give anything by mouth

to an unconcious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water fog, foam or dry extinguishing media.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg oxides of carbon, sulfur

and nitrogen, plus chlorine and sodium containing

compounds). 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 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 containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.

Dispose of waste material by incineration or landfill 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 EN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166

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 cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 25 kg cardboard boxes.

Exposure controls / personal protection

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

Technical Measures: Engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation should be used in order to reduce exposure to the substance.

Personal protection:

Personal Protective Equipment: The provision of personal protective equipment and the need to provide engineering control measures should be decided upon by the user as part of a formal exposure risk assessment. Based upon the available toxicological information the protective measures described below should be regarded as a minimum.

Respiratory Protection: Based upon current information and in the absence of occupational exposure limits the use of a dust mask to a minimum standard of EN149 FFP1 is recommended.

Hand Protection: Chemical protective gloves to a Standard EN374 should be provided. Usage periods should not exceed the breakthrough times for the chemical stated by the manufacturer of the glove.

Eye Protection: Eye protection should be used when handling the substance. The protection should be capable of giving chemical protection as classified in EN166.

Skin Protection: Handling of the material should be done wearing chemical protective clothing suitable for protection

against the chemical as classified by Standard EN368.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion from this 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 shown that the substance is a

severe eye irritant. It is a reactive dye and therefore may

present a respiratory sensitisation hazard. No chemical

treatment is practicable to neutralise these hazardous

health properties.

The potential dust explosion dust hazard will be minimised

by appropriate storage and handling techniques.

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,

nitrogen and sulfur 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.
