SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher
levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At high
temperatures (>250癈), decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides.
Skin: Mildly irritating
Eyes: Contact with liquid or mist may cause pain and moderate irritation.
Inhalation: Components of Pro-FlushTM are of a low order of toxicity in animals. At high levels of exposure, cardiac arrhythmia may occur. When oxygen
levels are reduced to 12-14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper respiration will occur.
Effects from inhalation of mists and vapors vary from mild to moderate irritation of the upper respiratory tract, depending on severity of exposure. Abusive or
excessive inhalation of vapors may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract, dizziness, nausea and other central nervous system effects.
Ingestion: Swallowing can cause gastro-intestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis.
Skin Contact: Frequent or prolonged contact may cause mild irritation. Repeated contact may cause drying or flaking of skin.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible
to the effects of the product.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: Call the nearest poison control center, the National Poison Control Hotline at 1-800-222-1222 (U.S.A.), or Chem-Tel Emergency Response,
1+813.248.0585 (011 +1+813.248.0585 for international calls) for advice immediately. Do not induce vomiting, unless directed to do so by a physician. If
victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink. Do not leave victim unattended. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on side
with head lower than waist. Vomiting may occur spontaneously.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Rinse with copious amounts of fresh, running water. If Irritation persists, get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of cool running water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If irritation persists, get
medical attention immediately.
Advice To Physician: Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs such as epinephrine, should be used with special caution
and only in situations of emergency life support. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical conditions.

PF-16 Pro-FlushTM
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: None to boiling (41癈/106癋) ASTM D56-87 - TAG Closed Cup (TCC)
Autoignition Temperature: Not determined
Upper Flame Limit (volume % in air): Not determined
Lower Flame Limit (volume % in air): Not determined
Flame Propagation Rate (solids): Not applicable
Fire Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2, Dry media or other media suitable for the surrounding fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposure to temperatures above 70癈/160癋 may cause containers to burst. Pro-FlushTM is not flammable at
ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure. However, based on similar mixtures, this material will become combustible when mixed with air under
pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources. Contact with certain finely divided reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic
reactions under specific conditions (e.g. very high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures). In the event of a liquid spill, ethyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether and
ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether will evaporate from the mixture faster than the other components, leaving a mixture enriched with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene,
acetone and t-butyl acetate. The enriched mixture may be flammable.
Special Fire Fighting Precautions/Instructions: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus for protection against suffocation and possible
toxic decomposition products. Wear proper eye and skin protection. Use a water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down vapors that
may result from product decomposition.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from area of spill. Remove all potential sources of ignition
from the area if possible. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Contain and absorb liquid with clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and package in a suitable
container for disposal. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with Federal, local and state regulations. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory
and eye/skin protection should be permitted in the area until air has been tested and determined safe, including low lying areas. The ethyl nonafluoroisobutyl
ether/ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether fraction will evaporate from Pro-Flush faster than the other components, leaving a mixture enriched with trans-1,2-
dichloroethylene, acetone and t-butyl acetate. The enriched mixture may be flammable. Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local
authorities. See Section 15 regarding reporting requirements.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture. Empty containers of this material, pose no disposal
hazard and may be recycled. Keep this and all chemicals out of the reach of children. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Normal Handling: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.) Avoid breathing vapors or liquid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not
puncture or drop containers, expose them to open flame, excessive heat, or direct sunlight. Use approved containers only. Pro-FlushTM should not be mixed
with air above atmospheric pressure for any purpose. Use only dry nitrogen to pressurize with Pro-FlushTM injectors.
Storage Recommendations: Because of its low boiling properties, store Pro-Flush in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk. Protect container, injector
and its fittings from physical damage. Avoid storing Pro-Flush in basement areas. Do not heat the container or store at a temperature above 110癋 (44癈).
Close container and/or injector valve tightly after use and when empty. If container temperature exceeds 106癋, cool the can with water before opening cans
or filling injector to minimize the risk of splashing or hazardous contact.

Engineering Controls:
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Skin Protection: Use protective, impervious gloves and clothing made of neoprene, nitrile or butyl rubber if prolonged or repeated contact with liquid is
anticipated. Wash clothing promptly, if wet. Remove any non-impervious clothing and wash before re-use.
Eye Protection: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. Contact
lenses should not be worn under such conditions.

Respiratory Protection: None required for normal work situations where adequate ventilation is provided. Use NIOSH approved self-contained, positive
pressure respirators for emergencies and in situations where air may be displaced by vapors.
Additional Recommendations: High dose-level warning signs are recommended for areas of principle exposure. Provide eyewash stations and quick drench
shower facilities at convenient locations. For tank cleaning operations, see OSHA regulations, 29 CFR 1910.132 and 29 CFR 1910.133.
Personal Respirators: Not required for normal use in accordance with label directions. If respiratory protection is required, wear a properly fitted
full-facepiece respirator with organic vapor cartridges to minimize exposure to vapors. Do not use air-purifying respirators if the oxygen content is below 14%.
Skin Protection: Use solvent resistant gloves to minimize skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Do not use unless a source of running water or other
eyewash provisions are nearby.
Work Hygienic Practices: Use proper industrial hygiene practices and follow label instructions to minimize hazardous exposure. Wash hands after handling
this material, and before eating or smoking.

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Fate: No information found. Based on data from analogous mixtures, this product is not expected to bio-accumulate.
Environmental Toxicity:
Acetone
Ecotoxicity: Rainbow trout LC50=5540 mg/L/96H; Sunfish (tap water), death at 14250 ppm/24H; Mosquito fish (turbid water) TLm=13000 ppm/48H
Environmental Fate: Volatilizes, leeches, and biodegrades when released to soil.
Physical/Chemical: No information available.
t-Butyl Acetate
Ecotoxicity: Bacteria: Phytobacterium phosphoreum: EC50 = 6.38-11.1 mg/L; 5,15,30 minutes; Microtox test; 15 degrees C Based on a log Kow of 1.38, the
BCF value for tert-butyl acetate can be estimated to be 6.6 by a recommended regression-derived equation. This BCF value suggests that bioconcentration is
not significant.
Environmental: Chemical hydrolysis of tert-butyl acetate in moist, very alkaline soils (pH approaching 10 or higher) may be important, but hydrolysis in soils
of pH 9 or lower is not expected to be important. Based on an estimated Koc value of 134, tert-butyl acetate may be subject to significant leaching in soil.
Volatilization from dry soil surfaces may be rapid.
Physical: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: tert-Butyl acetate will exist almost entirely in the vapor-phase in the ambient atmosphere due to its expected high vapor
pressure. The half-life for the vapor-phase reaction of tert-butyl acetate with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated to be about 26 days
in an average atmosphere indicating that this reaction may be the dominant atmospheric degradation mechanism. Physical removal via washout may be possible.
Other: Do not empty into drains.
