Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Move to fresh air. Call a physician immediately.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the

eyelids. Call a physician immediately.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Call a

physician immediately.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

Call a physician immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, dry powder, foam and carbon dioxide (CO2).

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

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

oxides and hydrogen cyanide).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

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, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

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.

Clean the spillage area with water.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations.  Avoid release to watercourses or drains.

Handling and storage

Handling: Advice on safe handling:

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe

vapours or spray mist. Handle product only in closed system

or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions:

Should not be released into the environment or drains. Do

not allow materials to contaminate ground water system. If

the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform

respective authorities.

Methods for cleaning up:

Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable,

closed containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away

traces with water.

Additional advice:

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Storage: Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed

in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store in a cool and

shaded area. Store in a place accessible by authorised

persons only.

Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep

away from tobacco products.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 200 litre steel drum.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Traces of hydrogen cyanide may be found in fire conditions.

Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents, strong acids and

strong bases, reducing agents.

Chemical reaction with water: None known.

Dust explosion: Not applicable as the substance is a liquid.

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. 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, a potential skin sensitiser and harmful

by prolonged oral exposure. No chemical treatment is

practicable to neutralise the hazardous health properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

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 and

nitrogen oxides and hydrogen cyanide) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance will not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None known.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None known.
