Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires containing or
around this product. Shut off all sources of ignition, if possible. Keep exposed containers cool with water spray to
prevent rupture. Evacuate all non-trained personnel. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet. Ventilate area.
Contain spill and dike, if possible. For leaks or spills that have ignited, water spray can be used to disperse any
flammable vapour and protect personnel attempting to stop the leak.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Firefighters should wear SCBA's in a positive pressure mode with full face
shield. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low areas or spread along ground
from handling site. Eliminate all sources of ignition as vapour may ignite. Carbon oxides may be formed.
SECTION 5 -- REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable, avoid open flames, sparks, extremely hot metal, heating elements, pilot lights, static electricity,
combustion engines, ignition sources, high temperatures (above 120篎), and direct sunlight
Incompatability: Strong Alkali, alkaline earth metals, acetaldehyde, acids, chlorine, ethylene oxide, isocyanages,
strong oxidizing agents, finely powdered metals, such as aluminium, magnesium, or zinc, and strong oxidizers since
they react with or accelerate decomposition of this material. Avoid contact with hydrochloric acid.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition could include hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride,
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine, and carbonyl halides. This product is stable in long term storage in
carbon steel containers but it can gradually decompose in the presence of ferric chloride, forming hydrochloric acid,
vinylidene chloride, and 1-chloro-1-floroethylene. In the presence of oxygen these chemicals can gradually form
carbonyl halides, such as phosgene, a highly toxic chemical.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
SECTION 6 -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Effects of Over Exposure
Eye Contact: Direct contact with the liquid or mists or overexposure to the vapour may be irritating, causing
tearing, stinging, redness, and swelling.
Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause mild skin irritation resulting in redness, burning, drying,
and cracking of the skin. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this
material.
Skin Absorption:. Not likely when used as directed.
Ingestion: Not likely as an aerosol, but ingestion of excessive quantities may effect the nervous system and produce
a rapid anesthetic effect, the respiratory system, or the heart.
Inhalation: Prolonged, repeated, or intentional abuse may be harmful or fatal. The dense vapour of HCFC 141-b
displaces air in confined spaces and reduces available oxygen for breathing. Symptoms could include headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, cyanosis, and lack of muscle control followed by collapse. Inhalation could cause and increase
in the sensitivity of the heart problems should have limited exposure to this material.
Effects of overexposure may include irritation of the nose and throat and signs of nervous system depression:
headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue. Overexposure may cause respiratory symptoms
associated with pre-existing lung disorders; asthma-like conditions, to be aggravated.
Systemic and Other Effects: None known.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. If irritation occurs, get medical attention.

Skin Contact: In case of contact, wash with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs call a
physician. Wash clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: If affected, move person to non-contaminated fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician immediately if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Ingestion is not likely as an aerosol but, if ingested, do not induce vomiting. Give one to two glasses of
water. Keep victim's head below hips or on left side with head down. Call a physician or poison control center
immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not leave victim unattended.
SECTION 7 -- ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Action to Take for Spills/Leaks: Remove or extinguish ignition or combustion sources. Evacuate enclosed spaces
until gas is dispersed. Keep upwind. Stop leak if possible without risk. Ventilate area-especially low places where
heavy vapors might collect. Disperse gas with floor level forced air ventilation. Exhaust vapors outdoors. Contain
spill and cover with inorganic absorbent material. Collect spilled material, place into an approved DOT container for
disposal. Wash contaminated clothing before rewearing. Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information
regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personnel protective equipment.
Waste Disposal Method: In accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. For large spills, remove to a
permitted disposal facility. For small spills, dry inorganic material on plastic in direct sunlight and landfill.
SECTION 8 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Store in tightly sealed containers. Keep away from heat, sparks & open flame. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.
Do not breathe vapor, mist or gas. Do not store or transfer to an unmarked container. Do not throw empty containers
in trash compactor. Do not store in direct sun. Store containers below 120篎. Do not throw empty containers into
fire. Read label before using.
SECTION 9 -- SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection (specify type): If use conditions generate large amounts of vapors or mists, select one of
the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants in accordance with
OSHA regulations. Full face organic vapour and acid gas respirator, full face supplied air respirator or full face
pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus.
Ventilation: Local mechanical exhaust ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below the
PEL/TLV.
Protective Gloves: Any lined non-permeable rubber gloves.
Eye Protection: Chemical resistant safety glasses with protective side shields.
Other Protective Equipment: Non-permeable clothing to protect all skin from liquid contact.
Prevention of Accidental Ingestion: Do not eat or drink around this product when using it. Wash exposed areas
with soap and water when finished using.
