Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has ceased. IMMEDIATELY consult a

physician.

SKIN CONTACT: In case of skin contact, IMMEDIATELY flush exposed skin thoroughly with plenty of water. While wearing

protective gloves, remove any contaminated clothing, including shoes and continue to wash skin

thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get IMMEDIATE medical attention.

EYE CONTACT: In case of eye contact, IMMEDIATELY rinse eyes thoroughly with plenty of water. Get immediate medical

attention. Treat symptomatically.

INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting unless under the direction of a qualified medical professional or Poison Control

Center. IMMEDIATELY consult a physician. Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to a seizing,

drowsy or unconscious person. If alert, rinse mouth and drink a glass of water.

Fire-fighting measures

FLAMMABILITY DATA:

Not autoignitable

EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

Under normal conditions of use, this material does not present a significant fire or explosion hazard. However, like most organic compounds, this

material may present a dust deflagration hazard if sufficient quantities are suspended in air. This hazard may exist where sufficient quantities of finely

divided material are (or may become) suspended in air during typical process operations. An assessment of each operation should be conducted and

suitable deflagration prevention and protection techniques employed. The sensitivity of this material to ignition by electrostatic discharges has not been

determined. In the absence of testing data, all conductive plant items and operations personnel handling this material should be suitably grounded.

SPECIAL FIRE HAZARDS:

In the presence of an ignition source, dust may be explosive if mixed in air in critical proportions. Emits toxic and corrosive fumes under fire conditions.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:

Carbon dioxide (CO2), extinguishing powder or water spray.

THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:

Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

Avoid generation of dust during clean-up. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Keep personnel away from the

clean-up area.

SPILL RESPONSE / CLEANUP:

All spills should be handled according to site requirements and based on precautions cited in the MSDS. In the case of liquids, use proper absorbent

materials. For laboratories and small-scale operations, incidental spills within a hood or enclosure should be cleaned by using a HEPA filtered vacuum or

wet cleaning methods as appropriate. For large dry or liquid spills or those spills outside enclosure or hood, appropriate emergency response personnel

should be notified. In manufacturing and large-scale operations, HEPA vacuuming prior to wet mopping or cleaning is required.

Handling and storage

HANDLING:

Avoid dust generation. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Avoid exposure to women especially during pregnancy and lactation.

Keep containers adequately sealed during material transfer, transport, or when not in use. Wash face, hands, and any exposed skin after handling. Do

not eat, drink, or smoke when using this substance or mixture.

Appropriate handling of this material is dependent on many factors, including physical form, duration and frequency of process or task, and effectiveness

of engineering controls. Site-specific risk assessments should be conducted to determine the feasibility and the appropriateness of all exposure control

measures. See Section 8 (Exposure Controls) for additional guidance.

STORAGE:

Store at 15-25 deg C. Store in adequately sealed container.

Exposure controls / personal protection

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE BAND (OEB):

OEB 4: 1-10 mcg/m3. Materials in an OEB 4 category are considered high health hazards. The OEB is range of airborne concentrations expressed as an

8-hour Time Weighted Average (8-hr. TWA) and is intended to be used with Industrial Hygiene Risk Assessment to assist with industrial hygiene

sampling and selection of proper controls for worker protection. Consult your site safety and industrial hygiene staff for guidance on handling and control

strategies.

INTERNAL OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT (8-hr TWA):

2.5 mcg/m3

EXPOSURE CONTROLS

The health hazard risks of handling this material are dependent on many factors, including physical form, duration and frequency of process or task, and

effectiveness of engineering controls. Site-specific risk assessments should be conducted to determine the feasibility and the appropriateness of all

exposure control measures. Exposure controls for normal operating or routine procedures follow a tiered strategy. Engineering controls are the

preferred means of long-term or permanent exposure control. If engineering controls are not feasible, appropriate use of personal protective equipment

(PPE) may be considered as alternative control measures. Exposure controls for non-routine operations must be evaluated and addressed as part of

the site-specific risk assessment.

RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):

Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) may be required for certain laboratory and large-scale

manufacturing tasks if potential airborne breathing zone concentrations of substances exceed the relevant

exposure limit(s). Workplace risk assessment should be completed before specifying and implementing

RPE usage. Potential exposure points and pathways, task duration and frequency, potential employee

contact with the substance, and the ability of the substance to be rendered airborne during specific tasks

should be evaluated. Initial and ongoing strategies of quantitative exposure measurement should be

obtained as required by the workplace risk assessment. All RPE must conform to local and regional

specifications for efficacy and performance. Consult your site or corporate health and safety professional

for additional guidance.

Skin Protection: Gloves that provide an appropriate barrier to the skin are recommended if there is potential for contact with

this material. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields. Use of goggles or full face protection may be required based on hazard,

potential for contact, or level of exposure. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.

Body Protection: In small-scale or laboratory operations, lab coats or equivalent protection is required. Disposable Tyvek or

other dust impermeable suit should be considered based on procedure or level of exposure. Use of

additional PPE such as shoe coverings, gauntlets, hood, or head covering may be necessary. Consult

your site safety staff for guidance.

In large-scale or manufacturing operations, disposable Tyvek or other dust impermeable suit is

recommended and based on level of exposure. Use of additional PPE such as shoe coverings, gauntlets,

hood, or head covering may be necessary. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.

Stability and reactivity

STABILITY/ REACTIVITY:

Stable under normal conditions.

INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS / CONDITIONS TO AVOID:

None known.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS / REACTIONS:

No dangerous decomposition is expected if used according to manufacturer's specifications.

Disposal considerations

MATERIAL WASTE:

Disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal, state/provincial, and/or local regulations. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal, when

appropriate. Operations that involve the crushing or shredding of waste materials or returned goods must be handled to meet the recommended

exposure limit(s).

PACKAGING AND CONTAINERS:

Disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal, state/provincial, and/or local regulations.
