Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HALON 1301 AND GLC-13B1 HAS ANESTHETIC
AND CARDIAC EFFECTS IN HUMANS AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 10% BY
VOLUME, CONCENTRATIONS BELOW 10% ARE CONSIDERED SAFE FOR 0-5 MINUTE
EXPOSURES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER.
Effects of Overexposure:THE ANESTHETIC EFFECT OF HALON 1301 AND
GLC-13B1 AT LEVELS BELOW 10% IS SIMILAR TO A FEELING OF MILD
INTOXICATION. ANESTHETIC EFFECTS END RAPIDLY AFTER EXPOSURE IS
TERMINATED. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO CO NCENTRATIONS ABOVE 10%,
(15-20%) MAY LEAD TO UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND POSSIBLY DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIAC CONDITIONS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR; IF NOT BREATHING,
GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE
OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF FROSTBITE OCCURS. EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER, GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:HALON 1301 IS A FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT. USE
WATER SPRAY TO COOL CYLINDERS INVOLVED IN FIRES. USE MEDIA
SUITABLE FOR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE AREA.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PREDOMINANT DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE & HYDROGEN BROMIDE IN FIRE SITUATIONS. THE
PRODUCTS ARE IRRITATING & POTENTIALLY TOXIC IF FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT
IS DELAYED. ABOVE 1000F, HALON 13 01 & GLC-13B1 MAY RELEASE
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN BROMIDE, CARBONYL
FLUORIDE & CARBONYL BROMIDE

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ARES. WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS, VENTILATE ENCLOSED AREAS IN CASE OF DISCHARGE.
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE. STORAGE TEMPERATURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 125F. CYLINDERS
SHOULD BE SECURED FOR STORAGE WITH VALVE PROTECTION CAP IN PLACE.
Other Precautions:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER.

Respiratory Protection:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AT CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 10,000 PPM AS RECOMMENDED
BY NIOSH. CONSULT ANSI STANDARD AND OSHA REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE
USE OF RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT. AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATIONS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: MATERIAL TRANSFER AND HANDLING SHOULD BE
CONDUCTED WITH AN EXHAUST SYSTEM. MECHANICAL: ALL INDOOR AREAS
SHOULD BE WELL VENTILATED.
Protective Gloves:LINED NEOPRENE OR LEATHER
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE
Work Hygienic Practices:DETERMINE THAT PIPING IS EMPTY BEFORE DOING
MAINTENANCE WORK. PERIODICALLY CHECK CYLINDERS TO ENSURE VALVES ARE
NOT LEAKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE PRODUCT & DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS WHEN WEARING
CONTACT LENSES; CLOUDING OF LENSES MAY OCCUR.
