Product definition

This product is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint ethereal odor, which is shipped under pressure with a proprietary gas mixture. Health Hazards: The main acute health hazard associated with this product is irritation of eyes and possible frostbite if contents of cylinder are rapidly released. Inhalation may be harmful. High concentrations may present an asphyxiation hazard if released in confined spaces. May cause irritation to the eyes. Inhalation may cause adverse effects on the central nervous system, cardiac sensitization and abnormal heart rate. Chronic exposure may cause damage to the liver. Flammability Hazards: This compound is not flammable, but can decompose at very high temperatures forming toxic gases such as hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluorides and other compounds given in Section 5 (Fire-Fighting Measures). Cylinders or tanks may rupture and explode if heated. Reactivity Hazards: This gas can react vigorously or violently with alkaline metals and earth metals. Environmental Hazards: The 2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-Trifluoroethane component can cause destruction to the ozone layer and can contribute to global warming. Emergency Response Considerations: Emergency responders must wear the proper personal protective equipment suitable for the situation to which they are responding. WARNING—If rescue personnel need to enter an area suspected of having a low level of oxygen, they should be equipped with Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate personal protective equipment.
