Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Remove from exposure area and allow to rest in fresh air.
Seek medical advice if cough or other symptoms develop.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persist.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and promptly wash exposed areas
with large amounts of soap and water. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops or persist.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
However, if this happens, rinse mouth with water. Seek
medical attention urgently (treat symptometically).
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Water.
Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in
a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide).
Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus pressure-demand MSHA/NIOSH ( approved or
equivalent) must be worn.
Avoid breathing smoke, fumes and decomposition products.
Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.
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.
Avoid dust formation. 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
substance containers.
Handling and storage
Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.
Avoid prolonged contact with skin or eyes. Do not handle in
a manner that creates excessive dust. Provide appropriate
ventilation and secure container after each use.
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 protective clothing to Standard EN368
*Eye protection to Standard EN166
Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be
used, it must be capable of adequately controlling
exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the
appropriate international or national standards, such as a
dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.
These measures should be regarded as a minimum.
Storage: Should be stored in a dry well ventilated area. Container
should be kept secure after use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 10kg tyvek bags.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Handle in the presence of adequate ventilation and avoid production of dust. It is advised that contact is avoided with skin and eyes; gloves and goggles are recommended.
Stability and reactivity
Danger other than fire: Material is not reactive towards water or other solvents. It
is sensitive to strong acids, but reaction is not hazardous
.
Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.
Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not
present a significant explosion hazard. However, as with
most powder samples, explosive mixtures can be
formed with sufficient concentrations of dust combined with
air.
Dust explosion determined by test: No
Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge of the
substance is not considered economically or technically
feasible, as such, waste material should be disposed of by
the appropriate methods.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not Applicable - No hazardous properties have been
identified as a result of the notification studies.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The preparation is used to crystalise plastics. These
plastics will be disposed of with other municipal waste at
landfilled sites at the end of their life-cycle. There is no
leakage or discharge of the notified substance at this
life cycle stage as it is completely consumed in the
chemical reactions involved in the crystalisation of these
plastics.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Contaminated items containing the substance or clean-up from
spillages should be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulation.
Stack gases should be scrubbed, because noxious gases,
namely oxides of carbon along with calcium containing
compounds could be formed.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the aqueous environment.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.
