Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 to fresh air.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse thoroughly with copious amounts of water for at least
15 minutes and seek a physician.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash off with plenty of soap and water. Seek physician if
irritation persists.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical assistance immediately. NEVER GIVE AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON ANYTHING BY MOUTH.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water mist, CO2 blanket and alcohol foam.

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

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.

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 2.3.10.



Avoid dust formation. Take up the substance dry if possible.
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.


Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: 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.


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: Store in a dry place away from excessive heat and open
flames.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The ink preparation, containing this substance at ca. 6%, is
packaged in 5 litre polyethylene bottles. These are then

packaged in a cardboard box (typical shipment size 20
litres).

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents.

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.


However, this is of no concern as the substance is imported
into the EU as part of a liquid preparation.

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: Not applicable

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

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 and sodium and sulphur containing compounds)
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 as the ink preparation, which contains the
substance at ca. 6%, is irreversibly bound to the
photographic paper.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as the ink preparation, which contains the
substance at ca. 6%, is irreversibly bound to the
photographic paper.

substance at ca. 6%, is irreversibly bound to the
photographic paper.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable as the ink preparation, which contains the

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable as the ink preparation, which contains the
substance at ca. 6%, is irreversibly bound to the
