Safety Information
Key Hazards
Danger- May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways due to aspiration hazard
- Harmful if inhaled as vapor or mist
- Causes skin irritation on contact
- Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting environmental effects
- High-pressure injection under the skin may cause serious tissue damage and local necrosis
First Aid Guide
Flush eye with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present. Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, then wash with soap. For high-pressure injection injuries, seek immediate hospital care without waiting for symptoms.
Move to fresh air immediately. If difficulty breathing, chest tightness, dizziness, or vomiting occurs, provide 100% oxygen and transport to nearest medical facility. Respiratory symptoms may be delayed several hours.
Call emergency services immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Transport to nearest medical facility. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. Monitor for delayed symptoms over 6 hours.
Protection Needed
Wear protective eyewear approved to EU Standard EN166, especially when material could splash into eyes.
Wear PVC, neoprene, or nitrile rubber gloves approved to EN374 standards. For continuous contact, select gloves with breakthrough time exceeding 240 minutes (preferably over 480 minutes). Ensure glove thickness exceeds 0.35 mm.
Not normally required under standard use conditions. If engineering controls are insufficient or material is heated/sprayed, use air-filtering respirators with filters suitable for combined particulate/organic gases meeting EN14387 and EN143 standards.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, gauntlets, and boots. Where splashing risk exists, also wear a protective apron to prevent contact with contaminated clothing.
Physical Properties
Safe Handling
- Use local exhaust ventilation to control vapors, mists, or aerosols
- Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact and inhalation of vapor
- Use proper grounding and bonding procedures during bulk transfer to prevent static accumulation
- Wear safety footwear and use proper handling equipment when handling drums
- Properly dispose of contaminated rags and cleaning materials to prevent fires
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated place between -50 to 50°C. Use mild steel or high-density polyethylene containers; avoid PVC. Must be stored in a diked (bunded) area. Keep properly labeled and closable containers away from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
A Safety Data Sheet is a standardised document that provides detailed information about a chemical product’s hazards, safe handling procedures, storage requirements, and emergency measures. Under UK REACH and CLP regulations, suppliers must provide an SDS for hazardous substances to ensure workers can handle them safely.
How often should Safety Data Sheets be updated?
Safety Data Sheets should be reviewed and updated whenever new hazard information becomes available, when regulations change, or when the product formulation changes. Suppliers must update SDSs promptly and provide revised versions to customers. As a best practice, review your SDS library at least annually to ensure all documents are current.
Who is responsible for maintaining Safety Data Sheets?
Employers are legally responsible for obtaining and maintaining current SDSs for all hazardous substances used in their workplace. While suppliers must provide SDSs, employers must ensure they’re accessible to workers, kept up-to-date, and used to inform COSHH risk assessments and safe working procedures.
What are the 16 sections of a Safety Data Sheet?
The 16 mandatory SDS sections are: (1) Identification, (2) Hazard identification, (3) Composition/ingredients, (4) First-aid measures, (5) Fire-fighting measures, (6) Accidental release measures, (7) Handling and storage, (8) Exposure controls/PPE, (9) Physical properties, (10) Stability and reactivity, (11) Toxicological information, (12) Ecological information, (13) Disposal, (14) Transport, (15) Regulatory information, and (16) Other information.
How do I find the right Safety Data Sheet for a product?
Search using the exact product name as shown on the container, the manufacturer name, and optionally the CAS number for precise identification. Sevron’s SDS search tool lets you search millions of SDSs by product name, manufacturer, or CAS number, with multi-language options and instant PDF access.
What’s the difference between an SDS and an MSDS?
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) was the older format with varying structures across countries. SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is the globally harmonised format introduced under GHS with a standardised 16-section structure. Since June 2015, all safety data sheets in the EU/UK must follow the SDS format. The terms are often used interchangeably, but SDS is the current standard.
How should Safety Data Sheets be stored and made accessible?
SDSs must be readily accessible to all workers who handle hazardous substances. Store them in a central location—whether physical folders or digital systems—where workers can quickly access them. Digital SDS management systems like Sevron allow instant search and retrieval, automatic updates, and access from any device.
Can I use a Safety Data Sheet from another country?
SDSs must comply with the regulations of the country where the substance is used. UK/EU SDSs follow CLP regulation formatting, which may differ from US OSHA requirements. Always use region-appropriate SDSs and check that the language, hazard classifications, and regulatory information match UK requirements.
