Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRODUCT IS NEITHER CORROSIVE NOR AN
IRRITANT. AS A LIQUID IT WILL EVAPORATE FAST ENOUGH TO CAUSE
FREEZING (FROSTBITE). VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN CAUSE
SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING AVAILABLE OXYGEN, OR MAY CAUSE FATAL
CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS. SNIFFING FLUOROCARBON FOR THEIR INTOXICATING
EFFECT HAS CAUSED HUMAN DEATHS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY IARC,NTP
OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY
CAUSE LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND MAY
LEAD TO NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH.
LIQUID CAN CAUSE FREEZING OF TISSUES CONTACTED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PEOPLE WITH PRIOR HEART OR
RESPIRATORY AILMENTS.

First Aid:EYE: FLUSH W/ WATER 15 MIN. HOLD LIDS OPEN, SEE A DOCTOR.
SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP & WATER. INHALED: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE
BREATHING, AS NEEDED. DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILAR DRUGS.
INGESTED: (HIGH UNLIKELY) DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL CARE. IF ANY IRRITATION PERSISTS, OR IS SEVERE, SEE A
DOCTOR.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE AT FIRE
TEMPERATURES. ALSO PRODUCES TOXIC VAPORS AT FIRE TEMPERATURES.
UNDER LAB CONDITIONS, FORMS WEAKLY COMBUSTABLE MIXTURES WITH AIR.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. EVACUATE PERSONNEL UNTIL
VAPORS ARE DISPERSED. DO NOT SMOKE OR OPERATE INTERNAL COMBUSTION
ENGINE IN THE VICINITY OF A SPILL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A CLEAN, COOL (<120F), DRY
AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA OF LOW FIRE RISK. PROTECT CONTAINERS FRO
PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:APPLY ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO EMPTY CONTAINERS AS
THEY M CONTAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES/VAPORS/PRESSURE.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED FOR ADEQUATELY VENTED WORK
STATIONS. FOR ACCIDENTAL OR NON-VENTILATED SITUATIONS, USE A
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR,
APPROVED BY NIOSH/MSHA.
Ventilation:PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST AT FILLING ZONES AND OTHER OPERATING
SPACE WHERE LEAKAGE IS PROBABLE. MECHANICAL FOR OTHER.
Protective Gloves:BUTYL RUBBER, PVA OR NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR SPLASH GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:USE IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING IF THERE IS DANGER
OF CONTACT WITH LIQUID.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE GOOD CHEMICAL HYGIENE PRACTICE. AVOID
CONTACT. REMOVE AND WASH CLOTHING PROMPTLY UPON CONTAMINATION.
