Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:VAPOR REDUCES AVAILABLE OXYGEN IN AIR.
REDUCED OXYGEN LEVELS TO 12-14% PRODUCE SYMPTOMS OF ASPHYXIATION,
I.E. LOSS OF COORDINATION, INCREASED PULSE RATE, CARDIAC
SENSITIZATION AND DEEPER RESPIRATION. AS WITH OTHER HALOGENATED
COMPOUNDS, THIS MATERIAL CAN INDUCE CARDIAC SENSITIZATION TO
EPINEPHRINE AND (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED.
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: CARDIAC ARRYTHMIAS. SKIN
IRRITATION CAN RESULT FROM DEFATTING ACTION ON TISSUE. DIRECT
CONTACT WITH LIQUID CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE. EYE CONTACT WITH VAPORS
CAN PRODUCE MILD IRRITATION. DIR ECT EYE CONTACT WITH LIQUID CAN
RESULT IN SEVERE IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
DISEASES OF CNS, CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, ANEMIA, ASTHMA AND DERMAL
SENSITIVITY MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO TOXICITY OF
EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE.

First Aid:EYES:IRRIGATE WITH WATER FOR 15 MIN, INCLUDING UNDER EYELIDS.
GET MEDICAL HELP. SKIN:FLUSH WITH WATER. TREAT FOR FROSTBITE IF
NEEDED. INHALE:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE &/OR SUPPORT BREATHING
AS NEED ED. GIVE OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS HARD. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE DISTURBANCE OF CARDIAC RHYTHM, CATECHOLAMINE
DRUGS, SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD BE USED W/SPECIAL CAUTION IN
EMERGENCIES.

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:NONE
Fire Fighting Procedures:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE
REQUIRED IF CANS RUPTURE OR CONTENTS RELEASED UNDER FIRE
CONDITIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE UNDER CONDITIONS
OF ELEVATED TEMPERATURE. IRRITATING AND/OR TOXIC GASES CONTAINING
HYDROCHLORIC AND HYDROFLUORIC ACID MAY BE PRODUCED.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA-ESPECIALLY LOW PLACES WHERE
HEAVY VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. REMOVE OPEN FLAMES. USE NIOSH/MSHA
APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) FOR LARGE SPILLS
OR RELEASES.

Handling and Storage Precautions:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Other Precautions:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, NO RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS
REQUIRED IF A LARGE RELEASE OCCURS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST SHOULD BE USED WHEN LARGE AMOUNTS ARE
RELEASED. MECHANICAL VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED IN LOW PLACES.
Protective Gloves:LINES NITRILE RUBBER OR RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:SPLASH PROOF GOGGLES SHOULD BE WORN.
Other Protective Equipment:EMERGENCY EYE WASH & SAFETY SHOWER.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
