Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

General information
In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show label where possible). Get medical attention immediately!
CAUTION! First aid personnel must be aware of own risk during rescue!

Inhalation
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Get prompt medical attention. Perform artificial
respiration if breathing has stopped. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering
oxygen.

Ingestion
Immediately rinse mouth and provide fresh air. Drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately!

Skin contact
Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin thoroughly with water. Burns: Flush
with water immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during
transport to hospital.

Eye contact
Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse
for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Fire can be extinguished using: Water spray, fog or mist. Foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder.

Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards
Heat may cause the containers to explode. Forms explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread near ground
to sources of ignition.

Specific hazards
When heated and in case of fire, toxic vapours/gases may be formed.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for
water control.

Protective equipment for fire-fighters
Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of
this safety data sheet. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes.

Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be
IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Absorb with sand or other inert absorbent. Collect in containers and seal securely. Remove containers and flush area with water. Ensure
that waste and contaminated materials are collected and removed from the work area as soon as possible in a suitably labelled container.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not
exceeded. If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided. Avoid inhalation of vapours.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in tightly closed original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Do not store near heat sources or expose to high
temperatures. Protect from freezing and direct sunlight.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Process conditions
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The substance shall be rigorously contained by technical means during
its whole lifecycle including manufacture, purification, cleaning and maintenance of equipment or vessels, waste disposal or purification
and storage. Procedural and control technologies shall be used that minimise emission and any resulting exposure. In case of accident and
where waste is generated, procedural and/or control technologies shall be used to minimise emissions and the resulting exposure during
purification or cleaning and maintenance procedures. Only properly trained and authorised personnel shall handle the substance. In case of
cleaning and maintenance works, special procedures such as purging and washing shall be applied before the system is opened and
entered.

Engineering measures
Work in fume cupboard.

Respiratory equipment
If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided.

Hand protection
The most suitable glove must be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough time of the glove
material.

Eye protection
Wear approved safety goggles.

Other Protection
Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Impervious clothing, gloves and minimum 8 inches face shield.

Hygiene measures
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash promptly if skin becomes wet or contaminated. Wash hands at the end of each work shift
and before eating, smoking and using the toilet.

Skin protection
Wear apron or protective clothing in case of contact.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity
No specific reactivity hazards associated with this product.

Chemical stability
Stable under normal temperature conditions and recommended use.
