Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
General Information
Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Skin
Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Eyes
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
Ingestion
Call a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.
Note to physician:
Observe for latent pulmonary edema.
Fire-fighting measures
NFPA:
Health: 3 Flammability: 2
Instability: 1
Suitable extinguishing media
foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide (CO2)
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, its combustion products, or released
gases
Under conditions giving incomplete combustion, hazardous gases produced may consist of
carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide (CO2)
Combustion gases of organic materials must in principle be graded as inhalation poisons
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 133).
Environmental precautions
Water run-off and vapor cloud may be corrosive. Dike and collect water used to fight fire.
Other Information
In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Reacts violently with water.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Provide adequate ventilation.
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Isolate for 800 meters or 0.5 miles in all directions if
tank, rail car, or tank truck in involved in fire. Evacuate downwind areas as conditions warrant to prevent exposure and to
allow vapors or fumes to dissipate. Spills may expose downwind areas to toxic or flammable concentrations over
considerable distances in some cases.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage. Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods for cleaning Up
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed
containers for disposal. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Authority Notification
Within the United States, call the National Response Center (800-424-8802) and appropriate state and local authorities if the
quantity released over 24 hours is equal to or greater than the reportable quantity listed below:
5000 lb/2270kg
Handling and storage
Handling
Advice on safe handling
Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Store in a place
accessible by authorized persons only.
Protection - fire and explosion:
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge. In case
of fire, emergency cooling with water spray should be available.
Storage
Technical measures/Storage conditions
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Incompatible products
Keep away from:, bases, amines, water.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Engineering measures
General or dilution ventilation is frequently insufficient as the sole means of controlling employee exposure. Local ventilation
is usually preferred.
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment
Protective Equipment
A safety shower and eyebath should be readily available.
General advice
Use only in an area equipped with a safety shower. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
Respiratory protection
For concentrations > 1 and < 10 times the occupational exposure level: Use air-purifying respirator with full facepiece and
organic vapor cartridge(s) or air-purifying full facepiece respirator with an organic vapor canister or a full facepiece powered
air-purifying respirator fitted with organic vapor cartridge(s). The air purifying element must have an end of service life
indicator, or a documented change out schedule must be established. Otherwise, use supplied air.
For concentrations more than 10 times the occupational exposure level and less than the lower of either 100 times the
occupational exposure level or the IDLH: Use Type C full facepiece supplied-air respirator operated in positive-pressure or
continuous-flow mode.
For concentrations > 100 times the occupational exposure level or greater than the IDLH level or unknown concentrations
(such as in emergencies): Use self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece in positive-pressure mode or Type C
positive-pressure full facepiece supplied-air respirator with an auxiliary positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
escape system.
For escape: Use self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece or any respirator specifically approved for escape.
Skin protection:
Wear impervious clothing and gloves to prevent contact. Butyl rubber is recommended. Other protective material may be
used, depending on the situation, if adequate degradation and permeation data is available. If other chemicals are used in
conjunction with this chemical, material selection should be based on protection for all chemicals present
Eye/face protection:
Wear chemical goggles when there is a reasonable chance of eye contact. In addition to goggles, wear a face shield if there
is a reasonable chance for splash to the face.
