Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 affected person to fresh air and allow to rest.

Obtain medical attention if there is any respiratory

distress.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes.

Ensure that the eyeball and the inside of the eyelids are

properly bathed by gently prising open the eyelids.  Also

make sure that the contaminated water runs off the face away

from the eyes.  Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash the affected parts of the body with soap and warm

water.  If skin irritation develops seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water-spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide

extinguishers may be used.

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

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg resin acids, acrylates,

carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and carbonaceous smoke).

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, operated in positive pressure mode.

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.

In case of spillage, the substance should be swept or

vacuumed up, avoiding the generation of airborne dust.

Gloves and suitable respiratory protection should be worn.

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 or a vapour

mask conforming to EN405 FFA1.

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: 25kg sealed plastic bag within a sealed paper sack and a

sealed fibreboard box.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None reported

Chemical reaction with water: None reported

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from this organic

substance when in powdered form (lower explosive limit 1.5

g/l), however in practice, the substance is handled as a

solid lump and hence the dust explosion hazard will be

minimised.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: 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 not shown the substance to have

any properties considered hazardous to human health.

However, it is classified as dangerous to the environment

based on the low water solubility, high Pow and lack of

biodegradability.  There are no practical treatments to

neutralise the potentially hazardous effects.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate storage and

handling techniques.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Waste material 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 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.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the general public.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the general public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the general public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the general public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the general public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable as the substance will not be made available

to the general public.
