Precautionary statements
P410-P403 Protect from sunlight, store in a well-ventilated place. Emergency overview: Colourless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odour. Non- flammable material. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapours displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher temperatures, (>250°C), decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides. Potential health Skin: Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite. Eyes: Liquid contact can cause severe irritation and frostbite. Mist may irritate. Inhalation: R-404A is low in acute toxicity in animals. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper respiration will occur. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur. INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the low boiling point of the material. Should it occur, discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract from rapid evaporation of the material and consequent evolution of gas would result. Some effects of inhalation and skin exposure would be expected. Delayed No delayed effects known. effects:
