Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Cyhexatin
A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of Cyhexatin issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.
04 · Precautionary statements
Cyhexatin precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 13 precautionary statements to Cyhexatin. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.
Prevention
What to do before and during handling so the hazard never happens.
Response
What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.
Disposal
What has to happen to the contents and the empty container.

05 · Names in the regulation
Cyhexatin name in 23 EU languages
CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

Cyhexatin carcinogenicity classification
Cancer Classification: Data are Inadequate for an Assessment of Human Carcinogenic Potential
Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
An IARC group and a CLP classification answer different questions. IARC judges whether the evidence for cancer in humans is strong enough; CLP Annex VI is the legally binding EU classification. A substance can carry one and not the other.

Cyhexatin incompatible materials
Strong oxidizers, ultraviolet light.
Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Cyhexatin reactivity
CYHEXATIN is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Soluble in some organic solvents (acetone 1.3 g/L; xylenes 3.6 g/L; carbon tetrachloride 28 g/L; dichloromethane 34 g/L). Stable in aqueous suspensions in neutral and alkaline pH (above pH 6), but reacts exothermically as a base in the presence of strong acids to form salts. Converts to dicyclohexyltin oxide and further to cyclohexylstannoic acid upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
