Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult administer oxygen.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention immediately.
Emergency measure - Skin: Flush area with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing. Use soap if available. Seek
medical attention immediately.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting
unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Appropriate media, including water.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in
a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen
oxides).


The results from differential scanning calorimetry indicate
that heating this compound creates a high thermal hazard. An
exotherm of 677 J/g is produced at 250°C. During an
exothermic reaction gases may be produced which propagate
fires or explosions.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus must be worn.


Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.


Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as
mentioned in section 2.3.00.


Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material
(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to
waste containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.
Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in
the same way as the original substance containers.



Clean the spillage area with water.



Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid heat sources, due to the high thermal hazard of this
compound.


The substance should be stored, handled and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure by skin and
eye contact and by inhalation.


Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance.


When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.


Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be
used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,
be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate
international or national standards, such as a dust mask
conforming to EN149 FFP1.


These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use, and store in
secondary pans or trays away from heat, sparks or flame.

Label all containers when the substance is transferred from
original container.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Inner packaging is plastic (double lined) which meets the
requirements of the 'Physico-chemical test plastics' as
described under USP<661>.


Outer packaging is a secondary shipping container.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not
present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most
organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust
explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from
minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically
or technically feasible, and such waste material will be
disposed of by incineration or landfill. In principle, it
may be possible to recover larger spillages of
uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is
harmful by acute oral ingestion, and also potentially
clastogenic. No chemical treatment is practicable to
neutralise the hazardous health properties.




The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling
and storage.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions should be
disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and
nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly
tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
