CARBONYL FLUORIDE

CAS: 353-50-4

Fraction By Weight: 100.0%

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical
attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. EYE CONTACT: Immediately
flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get
immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If a large amount is
swallowed, get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For
inhalation, consider oxygen.

Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
regular foam Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water
spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Use extinguishing
agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a
protected location or from a safe distance. Do not get water
directly on material. Reduce vapors with water spray. Avoid
inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and
keep out of low areas. Consider downwind evacuation if material is
leaking.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard.

Spill Release Procedures:Stop leak if possible without personal risk.
Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Notify Local Emergency
Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for
release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If
release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section
103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or
(202)426-2675 (USA).
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Keep separated from
incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a
full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that
has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately
Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full
facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
