3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Transparent, colorless liquid.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for
breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce
toxic and corrosive products.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Avoid contact with eyes; may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis.

Flux Remover AMS
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
INGESTION: Ingestion of large amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Swallowing small
amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects.
INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness,
unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self-
contained breathing apparatus.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Liquid splashed in the eye may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis.
SKIN: Prolonged exposure causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin.
INGESTION: For large amounts; abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea,
headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness).
ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS
depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
SKIN: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove clothing. Get medical attention immediately. Wash
clothing separately before reuse.
INGESTION: If swallowed, gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. DO NOT induce vomiting.
Sips of water may be given if person is fully conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person. Immediately contact a poison control center, emergency room or physician as further treatment
may be necessary.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained
personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: None
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: NA to NA
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires involving this
material.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down
vapors which may result from product decomposition.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
(MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Toxic oxides of carbon and corrosive vapors of hydrogen
chloride.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Contain spill with dike to prevent entry into sewers.
LARGE SPILL: If this material is released into a work area, evacuate the area immediately.
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Dike area to contain spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of
ground and surface waters. Recover spilled material on adsorbent, such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into
closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed thoroughly wet vacuum
the area. Do not flush to sewer. If area of spill is porous, remove as much contaminated earth, gravel, etc. as
necessary and place in closed containers for disposal.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye
protection should be permitted in area. See Section 8 for details.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Contents may be under pressure. Exercise caution when opening container. If
containers have been stored in direct sunlight or heated above the boiling point of the solvent, the contaner should be
cooled to below the boiling point before opening.
HANDLING: Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended limits. Provide
adequate ventilation for storage, handling and use, especially for enclosed or low spaces. Avoid contact of liquid
with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Do not allow product to contact open flame or electrical heating elements
because dangerous decomposition products may form.
STORAGE: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk. Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided.
If container temperature exceeds boiling point, cool the container before opening.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE
EYES: Moderately to severely irritating
DERMAL LD50: Mildly to moderately irritating.
ORAL LD50: Slight to very low toxicity.
INHALATION LC50: Slight to very low toxicity.
SKIN EFFECTS: Based on human exposure reports, prolonged and repeated skin contact with Methanol has
produced toxic effects including vision effects and death.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Test results indicate this compound/mixture is not teratogenic.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Data from acute toxicity studies indicate that HCFC-225ca and HCFC-225cb have very
low acute toxicity. Neither isomer causes eye irritation nor dermal toxicity in standardized tests; skin application of
both isomers at high doses (2,000 mg/kg body weight) produces no adverse effects. Therefore, the dermal LD50s are
greater than 2,000 mg/kg body weight. Oral administration of either isomer at high doses (5,000 mg/kg body weight)
does not cause any mortality and the oral LD50s are greater than 5,000 mg/kg body weight. Both isomers also have
very low acute inhalation toxicity as measured by the concentration that cause 50% mortality in experimental
animals.
In 28-day inhalation studies with rat, the activity and responsiveness of the animals was reduced at 5,000 ppm or
greater for each isomer. Toxicity was otherwise confined to the liver; liver enlargement and induction of
peroxisomes was seen following treatment with either of the isomers. HCFC-225ca was more potent than HCFC-
225cb in eliciting these lever effects. In a 90-day study of HCFC-225ca/HCFC-225cb mixture (45/55%) with rat,
toxic effects were observed in the liver; liver enlargement and induction of peroxisomes. In a 28-day study with
marmoset, exposure to HCFC-225ca at 1,000 ppm caused effects on the liver, such as slight fat deposition associated
with changes in serum biochemical parameters. In the same study, exposure to HCFC-225cb at 5,000 ppm caused
somnolence during exposure and an increase of cytochrome P-450, indicative of an adaptive response to HCFC-
225cb. However, no liver enlargement was seen and virtually no peroxisome induction was observed in either
isomer.
