TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE

ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS

PREVENTION

FIRST AID/
FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Highly flammable.
 		 NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
 		 Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide
 
EXPLOSION Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.
 		 Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.
 		 In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
 
EXPOSURE
 
 
 
•INHALATION
 		 Ventilation.
 		 Fresh air, rest.
 
•SKIN
 
 		 Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
 
•EYES Redness.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS LIQUID

PHYSICAL DANGERS:
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen.

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive gases including hydrogen fluoride . Reacts with strong oxidants.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: 100 ppm as TWA (ACGIH 2007).
MAK not established.


 		 ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:


INHALATION RISK:
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes .

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
 

PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES

 
Boiling point: 58°C
Density: 1.4
g/l
Solubility in water: none
 		 Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 31.7
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 8.5
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 3.3
Flash point: -17°C c.c.
 

ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA

 
 

N O T E S
Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately. High concentrations in the air cause a deficiency of oxygen with the risk of unconsciousness or death. Check oxygen content before entering area.
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-30GF1-I+II
