Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Dust content found to be very low but if inhaled, move to

fresh air. Seek medical advice if exposure severe or if

signs of discomfort noted.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Irrigate with saline water and seek medical advice if

syptoms of irritation are noted.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with water and seek medical advice if symptoms of

irritation are noted.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Drink water or milk. Material will quickly hydrolyse in the

stomach to Ioversol and studies conducted indicate a very

low rate of adsorbance through the stomach. Seek medical

advice if discomfort is noted.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, foam, carbon dioxide. No special recommendations

Product arising from burning: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen as well as iodine products and

elemental iodine.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Breathing apparatus, face shields and gloves in addition to

normal precautions.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Sweep up and dispose of as chemical waste. Precautions

advised against inhalation of dust if dry. Rinse area with

water but avoid entry to water courses untreated.

Handling and storage

Handling: Material is solid and although respirable fraction is very

low, dust masks conforming to EN 149 FF P1 should be worn

when handling material. It is considered to be good working

practice to wear gloves and goggles corresponding to BS 2093

when handling the material or preparations.

Storage: No special storage conditions but the material should be

kept dry. Cool, dark and dry conditions are recommended.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: No other danger perceived when used and handled in

accordance with recommendations

Chemical reaction with water: Reacts with water slowly in the pH range of 4-7 and rapidly

at pH values outside this range. The final reaction product

is Ioversol which is more stable and inert than MP-633.

Ioversol is marketed as an X ray imaging aid.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: It is not considered appropriate to recover or recycle lost

material. The production process in which MP-633 is used

relies on a complete conversion of MP-633 to final product,

Ioversol.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Material can be converted with acids or bases to a more

inert product, Ioversol.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not planned for MP-633. Effects on sewage treatment works

could be possible due to a release of Iodine compounds

during degradation of the product. Direct effects on the

environment are considered to be minimal.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: (633) Incinerate high temperature - long burn (*) with flue

gas scrubbing.

Recommended for disposal. Iodine products may be formed.

(*) Minimum temperature of 1200°C, at least 2 seconds

residence time, excess oxygen.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Production of Iodine products during degradation may affect

sewage treatment plants. Partly biodegradable.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable (see Section A.6.1.1)

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable (see Section A.6.1.2)

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable (see Section A.6.1.3)

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable (see Section A.6.1.3)

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable (see Section A.6.1.3)

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