3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
POTENT IAL HEALTH HAZARDS
SKIN: Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite.
EYES: Liquid contact may cause frostbite. Mist may irritate.
INHALATION: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, central
nervous system depression
and cardiac arrhythmia may occur.
INGESTION: Unlikely route of exposure. Should it occur, discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract would
occur.
CHRONIC (CANCER) INFORMATION: None of the components are designated as carcinogens by IARC,
NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECT) INFORMAT ION: Not expected to be teratogenic.
REPRODUCT IVE INFORMATION: No hazard expected.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN: Warm the area gradually by flushing with plenty of water. Get medical attention if there is evidence
of tissue damage.
EYES: Irrigate eyes with running water for at least 15. Get medical attention if symptoms

persist.
INHALATION: Immediately remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration,
administer oxygen and call a
physician. Do not give epinephrine (adrenaline) or similar drugs. INGEST ION: Do
not induce vomiting. Get medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Not flammable.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Sealed containers exposed to elevated temperatures may rupture
explosively.
FIRE FIGHT ING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Firefighters should wear self-contained,
NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus.
Wear full protective equipment. Cool tank/container with water spray. Fight fire from a
distance, heat may rupture
containers.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use any standard agent – choose the one most appropriate for type of
surrounding fire.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHT ING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before
proceeding with clean up. Use
appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean up.
Remove or extinguish ignition or combustion sources. Evacuate enclosed spaces until gas is dispersed.
Keep upwind. Stop the
release of gas, if possible without risk. Disperse the gas with floor level forced-air ventilation. Exhaust
vapors outdoors. Contain the
spill by building a dike using absorbent material. Collect the remainder of the spill with absorbent material
and place into a drum
approved for waste disposal or recovery. Wash contaminated clothing before use.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING (Personnel): Use insulated or lined butyl gloves, face shield or goggles, and impervious
clothing.
HANDLING (Physical Aspects): Good general ventilation is usually adequate, but local ventilation may be

needed if gas is vented to the atmosphere. STORAGE : Do not store cylinders in direct sun or expose to
heat above 120°F. Keep the cylinder valve tightly closed when not
in use and store in a well ventilated area.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Keep container tightly closed. Observe label precautions.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Goggles or face shield.
RESPIRATORS: Use if exposure level is above PEL.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Impervious
ADDIT IONAL RECOMMENDAT IONS:
Where contact with liquid is likely, such as in a spill or leak, impervious boots and clothing should be worn.
High dose-level warning signs are recommended for areas of principle exposure. Provide eyewash
stations and quick-drench shower facilities at convenient locations. For tank cleaning operations, see
OSHA regulations, 29 CFR 1910.132 and 29 CFR 1910.133.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
PHYSICAL STATE: Volatile liquid with faint, sweet odor
SPECIFIC GRAVITY (water = 1.0): 1.21
SOLUBILITY IN WATER (weight %): 0.12% at 77°F
BOILING POINT: -41.4°F
VAPOR DENSITY (air = 1.0): 2.3
IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Established
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Normally stable. Avoid intense heat and open flame.
INCOMPAT IBILITY WIT H OTHER MATERIALS:
Strong oxidants and freshly scraped aluminum, alkali metals, and alkali earth metals
(sodium, magnesium, etc.) may cause
exothermic reaction. The aluminum in refrigeration systems contains an oxide/chloride
coating to prevent reaction with metal. DECOMPOSIT ION: Decomposition products are hazardous. This
material can be decomposed by high temperatures (open flames, glowing metal surfaces, etc.)
forming hydrofluoric acid and possibly carbonyl fluoride.
POLYMERIZAT ION: Will not occur.
OTHER HAZARDS: Cylinders of used product may contain oil as well as refrigerant. A
liquid leak or venting during a fire will produce a cloud of oil mist that is very flammable.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
IMMEDIATE HEALT H HAZARD: Greatest hazard is contact with escaping liquid which can cause frostbite
and damage to exposed tissue. Gas may displace oxygen and cause light-headedness, eye irritation and
suffocation.
ACUTE SYMPTOMS: Headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness.
LONG TERM HEALTH HAZARDS: Exposure to high concentrations may lead to cardiac irregularities,
unconsciousness or death.
CARCINOGENICITY: Not designated as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ozone Depletion Potential
ODP: 0
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal
Recycle or reclaim if possible. Reclaimed material may be incinerated, if the toxic and corrosive
combustion products (HF and HCI)
are handled appropriately. Incinerate material in accordance with Federal, State/Provincial and Local
requirements. Do not incinerate
in closed containers.
