UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

At elevated temperatures (over 54°C-130°F) containers exposed to direct flame or heat contact should be cooled with water to prevent weakening of container structure.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:

Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up.  Use equipment or shielding, as required, to protect personnel from bursting, rupturing or venting containers.

Incompatibility :

Alkali or alkaline earth metals. 

Hazardous Decomposition:

Hydrofluoric acid, carbonyl fluoride, oxides of carbon and additional toxic chemicals may be formed in small amounts.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:     

May Occur   Will not occur

Conditions to Avoid:

Do not store above 54°C-130°F.  Keep away from heat, direct sunlight, open flames or sparks.  Dropping of containers may cause bursting.

INGESTION:  

N/A

EYES:                  

May cause freezing or frostbite

INHALATION:       

Overexposure by inhalation may cause nausea, headache, or temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects such as dizziness, confusion, and loss of consciousness.

SKIN:

May cause freezing or frostbite.

INGESTION:

Seek medical attention.  Not considered a potential route of exposure.

EYES:

Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open.  Seek medical attention.

INHALATION:

Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.  Give artificial respiration if not breathing.  Seek medical attention.

SKIN:

Flush skin with water.  Treat for frostbite if necessary by gently warming affected area.  Seek medical attention.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED:

Remove all sources of ignition and provide good ventilation.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Do not puncture or incinerate containers.  When contents are depleted continue to depress button until all gas is expelled.  Dispose of container in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Avoid breathing vapor.  Keep away from heat and flam.  Use with adequate ventilation.  Do not puncture or incinerate containers.  Do not expose to direct sunlight or store at temperatures above 130°F.  Store as Level 3 Aerosol (NFPA 30B).

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:

Please read and follow the directions on the product label; they are your best guide to using this product in the most effective way, and give the necessary safety precautions to protect your health.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

None required if good ventilation is maintained.  If exposure exceeds occupational exposure limits, use NIOSH approved respirator to prevent overexposure.

VENTILATION:

Local exhaust is adequate under normal conditions, mechanical ventilation is optional.

LOCAL EXHAUST:

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:

Optional: Chemical resistant gloves.

EYE PROTECTION:

Chemical safety glasses are recommended.
