Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Inhalation: Remove from exposure and keep patient at rest. Seek medical

attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Irrigate for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with copious quantities of water. If

irritation develops, seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.

Product arising from burning: Oxides of carbon and sulphur.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective equipment and

breathing appartus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear full protective clothing to prevent contact with eyes

and skin, i.e. impervious suit, boots, gloves and safety

goggles.

For local spillages, sweep material carefully into a plastic

liner and contain within a tared plastic drum. Weigh and

record salvage details on a substance  label fixed to the

drum. Avoid dispersing dust into the air. Flush contaminated

area with copious quantities of water.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.

Protective rubber gloves 14" (35 cm) PVC/Nitrile gauntlet,

air hood, overalls and safety glasses (BS 2092) and dust

masks should be worn. where dust generation cannot be

avoided, provide and use local exhaust ventilation (LEV).

where LEV is impractible, wear approved respiratory

protective equipment.

Storage: Store at room temperature in a cool, dry and well ventilated

area. The substance should be stored in the original

container and be correctly labelled and kept tightly closed.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Fibre-board drums closed with a lever closing ring. Volume

is dependent on shipment size, but generally for > 1000 kg,

kegs containing 50 kg are used.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None reported.

Chemical reaction with water: None reported.

Dust explosion: No information is available on dust explosion risks.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Spilled material should be recovered and disposed of by

incineration.

Since the substance is a pharmaceutical intermediate, it is

completely converted during the production process of the

final drug, and hence there is nothing to recover.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: It is not possible to neutralise the substance.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: None.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is the preferred method of destruction.

Suitable abatement measures for oxides of sulphur and oxides

of carbon should be in place for incineration gases.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: None.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable as the substance will not enter the public

domain.
