Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash with water
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Combustion products may contain carbon, nitrogen and
sulphur oxides together with some hydrogen chloride gas,
nickel compounds and some soot. A self-contained breathing
apparatus should be used. Suitable extinguishing agents are
water, dry powder, foam and carbon dioxide.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Solid: Collect and dispose of at a landfill site or by
incineration. Solutions: Dilute with a large volume of
water and discharge to a water treatment plant in
accordance with local/national regulations. In some cases
liquid spills may be absorbed using suitable material.
Waste should be disposed as for solids.

Handling and storage

Handling: The usual precautions for handling chemicals should be
observed.

Storage: No special precautions. The substance is normally stored in
closed containers in adequate rooms.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: In normal use 40-50% of the substance is consumed. It is
not possible to recover the remaining 50-60%.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable, the substance has no known hazardous
effects.

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

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: A suitable facility which can remove the NOx, SOx and HCl
gases should be used.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Industrial waste water will contain 50-60% of the substance
after dyeing. Treatment by the user will be in an internal
treatment plant. Three main methods may be used: (1)
Ultrafiltration using a Deval Cr 20 membrane. (2)
Flocculation using a cationic copolymer (0.5g/l). (3)
Oxidation with ozone at pH11. The above methods should
remove up to 99% of the waste dyestuff. The nickel
concentration will be reduced from 6-7 ppm before treatment
to less than 0.1 ppm after treatment. The residues formed
during treatment may be disposed of by landfill or
incineration.

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