IDENTIFYING HAZARDS
Prolonged exposure to inhalation can cause anaesthetic effects,
heart arrhythmia and can cause sudden death. The nebulised or
splashed product can cause frostbite injuries to the eyes or on
the skin.
FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation
Take the injured person away from exposure and bring him/her
in a warm place. Practice rescue breathing, provide the injured
person with oxygen or cardiac massage if necessary.
Ask for immediate medical assistance.
Contact with the skin
Let the areas concerned thaw under water.
Remove the contaminated clothing as they may stick to the skin
due to frostbite burns and wash immediately and thoroughly
with lukewarm water. In case of skin irritation or blistering, ask for
medical assistance.
Contact with eyes
Rinse immediately with clean water, keeping eyelids open for at
least 10 minutes. Ask for medical assistance.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting! If the injured person is conscious, rinse
his/her mouth with water and let him/her drink 200-300 ml of
water.
Ask for immediate medical assistance.
FIRE-PREVENTION MEASURES
Not inflammable. Thermal decomposition results in the emission
of very toxic and corrosive fumes (hydrogen chloride, hydrogen
fluoride). In case of fire, use an autonomous breathing apparatus
and suitable protective clothing.
Fire extinguishers
Use appropriate fire extinguishing agents.
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation
Prolonged exposure to inhalation can cause anaesthetic
effects, heart arrhythmia and can cause sudden death. Higher
concentrations may cause asphyxiation due to the reduced
oxygen content in the atmosphere.
Contact with the skin
Liquid splashes and nebulised liquid can cause frostbite injuries.
An occasional contact is unlikely to be dangerous but a repeated
or prolonged contact may cause the elimination of skin fat with
consequent dryness, cracking and dermatitis.
code T7100008 - 0215 - rev. 00
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
It decomposes with relative rapidity in the lower
atmosphere (troposphere). Decomposition products
are highly dispersed and therefore have a very low
concentration. It does not affect photochemical smog (i.e. it does
not fall under volatile organic compounds -VOCs - as established
by the UNECE agreement). The ozone destruction potential
(ODP) is 0.055 as measured compared to an ODP standard of
1 for CFC11 (according to the UNEP definitions). The substance
is subject to the Montreal Protocol (amended in 1992). Product
exhausts released into the atmosphere do not cause water
contamination in the long term.
CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING DISPOSAL
Recover and recycle the product: if this is not possible, its disposal
must be carried out in a suitably equipped and authorised facility.
Measures to adopt in case of accidental leakages
Make sure adequate personal respiratory protection is used
when eliminating leaks.
If the leakages are of small entity, isolate the source of the leak
allowing the substance to evaporate provided that there is
adequate ventilation.
If leakages are significant, ventilate the area and absorb the spilled
material with sand, soil or other suitable absorbent materials to
prevent the liquid from penetrating into drains or potholes as the
fumes can create a suffocating atmosphere.
TAMPERING
Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of vapours. Atmospheric
concentrations must be kept to a minimum and maintained at
the minimum level as much as reasonably possible, below the
occupational exposure limit. Vapours are heavier than air and
therefore the formation of high concentrations, near the ground
where ventilation is generally poor, is likely to occur. In these
cases, ensure adequate ventilation or wear suitable personal
protective equipment for the respiratory tract with sufficient air
reserve. Avoid contact with open flames and hot surfaces as they
may give rise to irritating and toxic decomposing substances.
Avoid contact between liquids and the eyes/skin.
