Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Protection of first-aiders
First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection).
If inhaled
Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur or irritation persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be immediately available.
In case of eye contact
Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact lenses after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately available.
If swallowed
Seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Give one cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) of water or milk if available and transport to a medical facility. Do not give anything by mouth unless the person is fully conscious.
Notes to physician
If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. No specific antidote. Due to irritant properties, swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower gastrointestinal tract with subsequent stricture. Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is done. Chemical eye burns may require extended irrigation. Obtain prompt consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water fog or fine spray.
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
Dry chemical fire extinguishers.
Foam.
Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
Specific hazards during firefighting:
Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
Hazardous combustion products:
During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating.
Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxides.
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location.
Further information:
Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.
Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.
Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.
Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Keep personnel out of low areas. Keep upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill.
No smoking in area. Only trained and properly protected personnel must be involved in clean-up operations.
Evacuate area. Use appropriate safety equipment.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater.
Methods for cleaning up:
Contain spilled material if possible. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.
Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on or near empty containers.
Do not swallow.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Use with adequate ventilation.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing.
Keep container closed.
Requirements for storage areas and containers
Do not store in: Zinc, Galvanized containers, Aluminium, Copper, Copper alloys, Brass. Store in original unopened container. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent formation of carbonate salts. Store in a dry place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Exposure controls: Personal protective equipment
Eye protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.
Skin and body protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required. Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process.
For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: no data available.
Chemical stability: stable under recommended storage conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: polymerization will not occur.
Conditions to avoid: heat, flames and sparks.
Incompatible materials: avoid contact with strong acids, strong oxidizers, Zinc, galvanized metals, Aluminium, Copper, Copper alloys, Brass, halogenated hydrocarbons.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods: this product, when being disposed of in its unused and uncontaminated state should be treated as a hazardous waste according to EC Directive 2008/98/EC. Any disposal practices must be in compliance with all national and provincial laws and any municipal or local by-laws governing hazardous waste. For used, contaminated and residual materials additional evaluations may be required.
Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water.
