EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white crystals.
Danger! Explosive when mixed with combustible
material. Causes eye and skin burns. Causes digestive and
respiratory tract burns. Air sensitive. Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. May
cause perforation of the digestive tract. Ingestion of large amounts
of fluoride may cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
fever, labored breathing.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be
fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and
bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Causes corrosive
action on the mucous membranes.
Chronic:
Chronic effects include excessive calcification of the bones,
ligaments, and tendons. Repeated inhalation may cause perforation of
the nasal septum.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. Extensiv
e irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. In case of fire, use carbon
dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam.

|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Wash area with soap and water. Sweep up, then place into a suitable
container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide
ventilation. Place under an inert atmosphere. Do not get water inside
containers.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe
dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Handle under
an inert atmosphere. Store protected from air. Do not allow contact
with water. Do not store near combustible materials. Discard
contaminated shoes. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
Inform laundry personnel of contaminant's hazards.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep
containers tightly closed. Do not expose to air. Store protected
from moisture. Store under nitrogen.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.

Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity
|
Chemical Stability:
Unstable. Air sensitive. Moisture sensitive. All xenon fluorides
must be protected from moisture to avoid formation of xenon trioxide,
a colorless, nonvolatile solid that's dangerously explosive when dry.
Its solution, the so-called xenic acid, is a stable weak acid but a
strong oxidizing agent.
Conditions to Avoid:
Moisture, exposure to air.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Aluminum, carbonyl compounds, finely powdered metals, permanganates,
iodates, acetone (explosive reaction), moisture, air, ethanol,
organic materials, combustible materials.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Hydrogen fluoride gas, fluorine.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
