Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 Advice: Immediate medical attention is required. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

Eye Contact: Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated

clothes and shoes. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Immediate medical attention is required. Never give anything by

mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water.

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with a

respiratory medical device. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.

Protection of First-aiders: Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture : Above 200º C, with the release of NH3, BF3 and HF. May emit corrosive fumes.

Advice for firefighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Provide good ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep away from heat sources.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Should not be released into the environment. Recover as much product as possible to the production cycle. Prevent contamination of soil, water and drainage.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation.

Handling and storage

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe dust. Do not ingest.

Avoid inhalation and contact with the product. Open and handle containers carefully, avoiding the spillage and dust formation. Provide good ventilation. Containers that have been partially used must be re-sealed after use and return to the store.

Empty containers may contain residues and should therefore be handled as if full.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

Corrosives area. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Storage should be located in a dry and well ventilated place that should also be adapted to lay up toxic products, away from heat sources and incompatible products. Store the product in hermetically sealed original containers. Do not store near products intended for human or animal consumption.

In Spain, storage must comply with the R.D. 379/2001 (Regulation for the storage of chemical products) if stored above 250 Kg.

Plasticized paper containers, plastic bags, plastic fibre drums, plastic drums or plastic IBC can be used as packaging materials.

Exposure controls / personal protection

a) Eye / face protection

Well-fitted chemical protective goggles, type motorist or diver.

It is generally known that contact lenses must not be wear when working with chemicals because they may contribute to the severeness of possible damages in the eyes.

b) Skin protection

In normal conditions, light protective clothing (overall) with long sleeves, and rubber or neoprene boots.

Additionally, and for emergencies, there should have a particle-proof suit, EPI category 3, type 5, with self-contained breathing equipment.

c) Hand protection

Rubber or neoprene gloves.

d) Respiratory protection

Corresponding to the exposure levels, use the adequate breathing equipment to those levels. The adequate breathing equipment, all of them EPI category 3, which could be self-filtering masks type FFP3, filters with half- face mask type P3, filters with full facemask type P3, aid-ventilation with hood type THP3, aid-ventilation with full face-mask type TMP3.

Stability and reactivity

The reaction with acids, water/moisture, bases and magnesium/magnesium alloys generates HF.

Moisture: The product must be kept dry.

With strong minerals acids produces NH3, HF and NOx.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Use as much quantity of product as possible in the production cycle.

The product packed in dry sealed vessels should be given to an authorized waste agent in order he manage its elimination that will probably be done by means of a physicochemical treatment and later settlement in a controlled chemical waist weir.

Treatment of containers

Vessels, before their elimination or settlement, must be dust-removed with caution.

Once almost clean, eliminate them by their settlement in an authorized waste weir or in any case by burning at a legally authorized plant.

Non-contaminated packaging will be treated as if inert residues or as recyclable material.
