Danger

Hazard statements

Causes skin irritation May cause an allergic skin reaction May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways

Prevention

Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace An improperly designed or maintained heat transfer system may permit the release of fluid, or air/moisture leakage into the system. This leakage could lower the fluid’s flashpoint and/or produce light ends. System leaks that result in saturated insulation may, when heated over time, create a combustible mixture when suddenly exposed to air. Leakage of fluid from the system at operating temperature and pressure may cause fluid to disperse as an aerosol, which may result in flammable concentrations of vapor in the air. Thermal degradation or other decomposition of the fluid can occur in an improperly maintained heat transfer system, and also for other reasons, including operating the system above the fluid’s recommended operating temperature and failure to maintain proper fluid velocity. Degradation or decomposition of the fluid may also create “low boiler” hydrocarbon compounds or light ends. The occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions may lead to an increased risk of explosion and/or fire

Response
