SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable material. 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-Flush 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 MEASURES
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 or the National Poison Control hotline at 1-800-222-1222 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.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: None
Fire Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2, Dry media or other media suitable for the surrounding fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposure to temperature above 120?49癈 may cause containers to burst. Pro-Flush 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, pentafluoropropane will evaporate from the mixture
faster, leaving a mixture enriched with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. The enriched mixture may be flammable.
Special Fire Fighting Precautions/Instructions:
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye
and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down vapors which 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.
Pentafluoropropane will evaporate from the mixture faster, leaving a mixture enriched with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. 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-Flush should not be mixed with air above atmospheric pressure for any purpose. Use only dry nitrogen to pressurize with Pro-Flush injectors.
Storage Recommendations:
Due to low boiling properties of Pro-Flush, store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk. Protect container, injector and its fittings from physical damage.
Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided. Do not heat the container or store at a temperature above 110癋 (44癈). Close icontainer and injector
valve tightly after use and when empty. If container temperature exceeds boiling point, cool the container to 80癋 (27癈) before opening cans or filling injector.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Airborne Exposure Limits:
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 700ppm (Acetone)
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 700ppm (Acetone)
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.
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.

NOEL (pups): 50,000 ppm
NOEL (dams): 2,000 ppm (due to decrease in bodyweight gains at 10,000 ppm and 50,000 ppm)
2 Generation Inhalation Toxicity (rats): Exposures 6 hrs/day, 7 days/wk at 0(control), 2,000, 10,000 and 50,000ppm. Toxicity seen in dams at 10,000 and
50,000ppm and in pups at 50,000ppm. Primary effect was increased mortality late in the lactation phase of the study.
28-day Inhalation Study (rats): NOAEL ?50,000 ppm and NOEL ?500 ppm
90-day Inhalation Study (rats): NOAEL ?2,000 ppm
Dose levels: 0, 500, 2,000, 10,000 and 50,000 ppm
Overall, subchronic studies showed dose-related increases in urinary fluoride levels, urine volumes and water consumption. Increases were noted in
hematological parameters, BUN levels and serum liver enzyme activities (GOT, GPT). These increases did not follow a dose response; however, they indicate
that HFC-245fa is metabolized in the liver. Significant recovery was noted in these parameters following a 2-week, non-exposure period which followed the
28-day exposure period. No histopathological effects were noted in the 28-day study. The 90-day study noted an increase in incidence and severity (trace to
moderate) of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) at 10,000 and 50,000 ppm. This was not noted at the 500 or 2,000 ppm dose levels nor was it
seen the the 28-day study at 50,000 ppm.
