Registration Dossier

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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Eyes: Rinse with plenty of water. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: In case of fire, normal extinguishing media may be used

(e.g.water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder). Substance

itself does not present a fire hazard. If involved in a

fire, nitric oxides and sulphur dioxide may be produced. A

self-contained breathing apparatus should be used.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: For dry residues, collect and dump in licensed landfill

site. For spillages, wash with copious quantities of water

and discharge in accordance with local/national

regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The usual precautions should be observed. Avoid dust

formation during filling of drums.

Storage: No particular recommendations. Normally, store in closed

containers in adequate rooms.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Normal application results in the consumption of over 95%

by irreversible binding to leather or paper.Recovery of the

remaining highly water soluble substance is not practical.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at a controlled landfill site is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Disposal by this method at an approved facility equipped

with waste gas treatment to remove nitrogen and sulphur

oxides and metal oxides is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Waste gas will contain less than 5% of the substance. Waste

water is discharged into internal industrial effluents as a

highly diluted solution. Tanneries, dye-works and paper

mills are well aware of this waste water and treat it by

installing pre-purification plants. Part of it will be

discharged into industrial effluents. Total aerobic

degradation is unlikely, although partial degradation may

occur.However the literature suggests it will be destroyed

by anaerobic degradation (see Brown and

Laboureur,Chemosphere,1983, 12(3),397-404 and ETAD project

E 3013 on sediment analysis of the Rhine,status report June

27,1980).

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