Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRINCIPLE HEALTH HAZARDS (INCLUDING
SIGNIFICANT ROUTES, EFFECTS, SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE, AND
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE): INHALATION: INHALATION OF
FLUORINE COMPOUNDS RELEASED AS DECOMPOSITIO N PRODUCTS ABOVE 290
DEGREES C (554 DEGREES F) MAY CAUSE LUNG IRRITATION AND PULMONARY
EDEMA WHICH REQUIRE MEDICAL TREATMENT. INHALATION OF FUMES OR SMOKE
FROM OVERHEATED OR BURNING PTFE MAY CAUSE POL YMER FUME FEVER, A
TEMPORARY FLU-LIKE ILLNESS ACCOMPANIED BY FEVER, CHILLS, AND
SOMETIMES COUGH, OF APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS DURATION. REPEATED
EPISODES OF POLYMER FUME FEVER MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE. (SIG NS &
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS
MATERIAL ARE LISTED BY IARC, NTP, OSHA, OR ACGIH AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT): SKIN &
EYE: ALKYL POLYGLYCOL ETHER ON SHORT EXPOSURE IS A SLIGHT SKIN AND
EYE IRRITANT. ON PROLONGED EXPOSURE, E.G. 24 HOURS, ALKYL
POLYGLYCOL ETHER IS A MODER ATE IRRITANT. ORAL: ALTHOUGH ORAL
TOXICITY IS LOW, INGESTION IS TO BE AVOIDED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE
TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE FROM THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE PATIENT TO FRESH AIR. IF NECESSARY, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR OXYGEN. PYROLIZED FUME INHALATION: NORMAL
RECOVERY OCCURS WITHIN 24 HOURS. EYE: IN CASE OF CONTACT,
IMMEDIATELY FL USH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: IF MOLTEN MATERIAL GETS ON SKIN, COOL
RAPIDLY WITH COLD WATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM
SKIN. OBTAIN MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THERMAL BURN. INGESTION: NO
SPECIFIC INTERVENTION IS INDICATED AS COMPOUND IS NOT LIKELY TO BE
HAZARDOUS BY INGESTION. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF NECESSARY.
