Composition/Information on Ingredients Mixture Chemical name Common name and synonyms CAS number % Ethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoro- 811-97-2 100 All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. 4. First Aid Measures Inhalation If symptoms develop, move person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, obtain medical attention. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling aerosol products may be harmful or fatal. Skin contact In case of contact with liquefied gas, thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Remove contaminated clothing. Treat for frostbite by gently warming affected area. Wash with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. #27970 Page: 1 of 7 Issue date 27-April-2017 Eye contact Flush with cool water. Remove contact lenses, if applicable, and continue flushing. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion Not likely, due to the form of the product. Most important Contact with liquefied gas might cause frostbites, in some cases with tissue damage. symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate Treat symptomatically. Treat frost-bitten areas as needed. medical attention and special treatment needed General information If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Keep out of reach of children. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide. Unsuitable extinguishing None known. media Specific hazards arising from During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. the chemical Special protective equipment Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self- contained breathing apparatus. and precautions for firefighters Fire-fighting Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Cool containers with flooding equipment/instructions quantities of water until well after fire is out. General fire hazards Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may explode when exposed to heat or flame. Hazardous combustion May include and are not limited to: Hydrogen fluoride. Oxides of carbon. products 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of protective equipment and low areas. Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or emergency procedures confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. For waste containment and cleaning up disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Do not discharge into lakes, streams, ponds or public waters. 7. Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material. Keep upright. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Provide adequate ventilation. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Wash thoroughly after handling. When using do not eat or drink. Conditions for safe storage, Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. including any incompatibilities Do not store at temperatures above 49 °C (120.2°F). Store in a well-ventilated place. Cylinders should be stored upright, with valve protection cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Stored containers should be periodically checked for general condition and leakage. Keep out of reach of children. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Occupational exposure limits US. AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL) Guides Components Type Value Ethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoro- TWA 4240 mg/m3 (CAS 811-97-2) 1000 ppm #27970 Page: 2 of 7 Issue date 27-April-2017 Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Exposure guidelines See above Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields. Skin protection Hand protection Wear protective gloves. Confirm with a reputable supplier first. Other Wear suitable protective clothing. As required by employer code. Respiratory protection Not normally required if adequate ventilation is maintained. Where exposure guideline levels may be exceeded, use an approved NIOSH respirator. Thermal hazards Not applicable. General hygiene Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material. When using do not eat or drink. considerations 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance Aerosol. Physical state Gas. Form Liquefied gas.
