4. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammable Properties
Flash Point: Not applicable

Fire and Explosion Hazards


Cylinders may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur forming toxic gases.

Extinguishing Media
Use media appropriate for surrounding material

Fire Fighting Instructions


Cool tank/container with water spray. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required if
cylinders rupture or release under fire conditions.

5. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview
Clear, colorless liquefied gas with faint ethereal (ether like) odor.

WARNING!
LIQUID AND GAS UNDER PRESSURE, OVERHEATING AND OVERPRESSURIZING MAY
CAUSE GAS RELEASE OR VIOLENT CYLINDER BURSTING. MAY DECOMPOSE ON
CONTACT WITH FLAMES OR EXTREMELY HOT METAL SURFACES TO PRODUCE TOXIC
AND CORROSIVE PRODUCTS. VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING
AND IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. HARMFUL IF INHALED AND MAY CAUSE HEART
IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH. LIQUID CONTACT WITH EYES OR
SKIN MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.

Potential Health Effects


Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this
material. As with most liquified gases, contact with the rapidly volatilizing liquid or cold vapor can cause
frostbite to any tissue. Highvapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes and respiratory tractand
may result in central nervous system (CNS)effects such as headache, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness
and, in severe exposure, loss of consciousness anddeath. The dense vapor of this material may reduce the
available oxygen for breathing and produce symptoms such asheadache, dizziness, drowsiness, cyanosis
and lack of muscle control followed by collapse. Prolonged exposure to anoxygen-deficient atmosphere
may be fatal. Inhalation of this material may cause an increase in the sensitivity of the heart to adrenaline,
which could result in irregular or rapid heartbeats and reduced heart function. Workers with heart disease
or compromised heart function should limit exposure to this material.

6. FIRST AID MEASURES

First Aid
INHALATION
If high concentrations are inhaled, immediately remove to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
Flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes after excessive contact. Seek medical assistance
if irritation is present. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Treat for frostbite if necessary by gently
warming affected area.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a
physician.
INGESTION
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Notes to Physicians
Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as
epinephrine, should only be used with special caution in situations of emergency life support.

7. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


In Case of Spill or Leak
Use Halogen leak detector or other suitable means to locate leaks or check atmosphere. Keep upwind.
Evacuate enclosed spaces and disperse gas with floor-level forced-air ventilation. Exhaust vapors
outdoors. Do not smoke or operate internal combustion engines. Remove flames and heating elements.

8. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Handling
Avoid breathing gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Do not enter confined spaces unless adequately ventilated.
Storage
Do not apply direct flame to cylinder. Do not store cylinder in direct sun or expose it to heat above 120
F. Do not drop or refill this cylinder. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.

9. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Engineering Controls
Use sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended limits. Local exhaust
should be used when large amounts are released. Mechanical ventilation should be used in low or
enclosed places. Refrigerant concentration monitors may be necessary to determine vapor concentrations
in work areas prior to use of torches or other open flames, or if employees are entering enclosed areas.
Personal Protective Equipment
Lined butyl gloves should be used to avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Chemical splash goggles
should be available for use as needed to prevent eye contact.
Fire protective clothing (NOMEX) with antistatic control should be worn when handling this
product.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY


Stability
This material is chemically stable under specified conditions or storage, shipment and/or use. See
HANDLING AND STORAGE section of this MSDS for specified conditions.
Incompatibility
Avoid contact with strong alkalis or alkaline earth metals, finely powdered metals such as aluminum,
magnesiumor zinc and strong oxidizers, since they may react or accelerate decomposition.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Thermal decomposition products include hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride,
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and chlorine.
