Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air.  Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush with large volumes of water for at least 15 minutes.

Do not remove contact lenses if worn.  Obtain medical

attention

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing.  Wash skin with soap and

water.  If irritation develops obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Alcohol-type or all purpose foam extinguishers should be

used for large fires.  Water spray, carbon dioxide or dry

chemical media extinguishers may be used on small fires.

Solid water stream or foam should not be directed into hot

burning pools of the product; this leads to frothing and an

increase in fire intensity.  Burning materials may produce a

floating fire hazard.

Product arising from burning: Complete combustion yields water and carbon dioxide.

Incomplete combustion may yield carbon dioxide and other

organic products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and fire resistant

clothing should be used.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear eye and skin protection.  Spills should be contained

with inert materials (sand,earth) to avoid discharge into

water (rivers, streams, water collection areas)  Liquid and

solid diking material should be transferred to suitable

containers for disposal.

Water should not be used to flush away spills to avoid

gelling and foaming.

Handling and storage

Handling: Mechanical room ventilation should be used for general area

control.  Workers should wear PVC coated protective gloves

and monogoggles at all times.

Storage: May be stored long-term in original high density

polyethylene (HDPE) factory packed drums at or below 50°C,

with the exclusion of water and the headspace of the

containers filled with Nitrogen.  The same conditions apply

to stainless steel containers which may be used to store

larger quantities. Slow oxidative degradation of the product

occurs on storage in air, and agitation and heat accelerate

this decomposition.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 55 gallon (208 l) open head steel drums. Stainless steel is

recommended for bulk shipments.

55 gallon (208 l) high density polyethylene (HDPE) drums.

HDPE drums are used for quality purposes for the surfactant

used in metal cleaning.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Prolonged excessive heat may cause product decomposition.

Avoid exposure to strong bases at high temperature, strong

oxidising agents and materials that react with hydroxyl

groups.

Chemical reaction with water: None reported

Dust explosion: Not applicable

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not feasible

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: [Code 631]

Adjustment of pH to < 5 by acid treatment chemically cleaves

the substance.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: controlled discharge is not recommended for the untreated

substance.  Discharge is only suitable once the substance

has been treated with acid to pH < 5

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: [Code 660]

The substance can be incinerated without any prior treatment

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should only be allowed to enter the water

system after treatment with acid to pH < 5

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: Not applicable

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: The substance itself will not enter the public domain.
