HAZARDOUS REACTIVITY
Stability: Material is stable at room temperature. Avoid heat, sparks and flame.
Incompatibility: Strong acids and alkalis. Finely powdered metals such as Al, Mg, Zn. Strong oxidizing agents and some
desiccants.
Decomposition: This product can be decomposed by high temperatures (flame, glowing metal surfaces, etc.) forming hydrogen
fluoride, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Polymerization: Will not occur.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
Flash Point: None Method: TCC
Autoignition Temperature: Not Determined. Flammable Limits in Air, % by Vol.: LEL: 7.4; UEL: 15.5
Autodecompostion Temperature: Not Determined.
Fire and Explosion: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Avoid high temperatures
and static charges. Containers may rupture under fire conditions. Vapors concentrated in a confined
space can be ignited with a flame or high intensity source of heat.
Extinguishing Media: Water spray or fog. Foam. Dry chemical or Carbon Dioxide.
Special Fire Fighting Instruction: Evacuate personnel to safe area. Use water spray or fog. Wear self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA).

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
PRINCIPAL HEALTH HAZARDS: (INCLUDING SIGNIFICANT ROUTES, EFFECTS
SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE, AND MEDICAL
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE.)
Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor may be harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death.
Intentional misuse can be fatal. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air.
The compound is a skin irritant, is a mild eye irritant, and is not a skin sensitizer in animals.
Effects in animals from single inhalation exposures to high doses include anesthesia and transient effects on kidney function.
Cardiac sensitization occurred in dogs and monkeys exposed to concentrations of 5,000 ppm and above. Repeated inhalation exposure
of rats to 10,000 ppm of HCFC 141b produced reversible hematological effects and slight reversible alterations in clinical chemical
parameters. A single skin application produced body weight loss, mild erythema and slightly swollen livers. A single high oral dose
resulted in slight body weight loss and swollen livers.
Poly-TFE, Alpha-chloro-Omega-(2,2-Dichlorotrifluoroethyl) and Poly-TFE, Alpha-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-Omega-Hydro- are
untested for skin and eye irritancy and are untested for animal sensitization. The effects in animals from acute, subchronic or chronic
exposure by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with either component have not been determined. Toxic effects described in animals
exposed to decomposition products of Poly-TFE, alpha-Chloro-omega (2,2-Dichlorotrifluoroethyl)- formed at temperatures above
500癋/260癈 include lung irritation, pulmonary edema and death occurred in rats exposed to decomposition products formed at around
554癋/290癈.
Repeated skin contact may cause irritation with discomfort or rash. Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after
contact appears unlikely. Contact with the eye may cause irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision.
Inhalation may initially include irritation of the upper respiratory passages with coughing and discomfort. Ingestion can cause
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and loss of consciousness. Inhalation, ingestion or skin contact may initially include nonspecific
discomfort, such as nausea, headache, abdominal pain, flushing of the face, hypertension or weakness. Higher exposures may lead to
temporary nervous system depression with anaesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination and loss of
consciousness.
Inhalation of decomposition products may cause polymer fume fever; or lung irritation requiring medical treatment for fluorine
compounds, which can cause delayed pulmonary edema. Polymer fume fever is a flu-like illness with fever, chills and sometimes
cough, which occurs several hours after exposure and subsides within 24 hours even in the absence of treatment. Polymer fume fever
does not cause permanent injury and the effects are not cumulative.

Carcinogenicity: None of the components in this material is listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
Exposure Limits: TLV (ACGIH) PEL (OSHA) AEL
1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane None Established. None Established 500 ppm
(Allied Signal)
Carbon Dioxide 5000 ppm 5000 ppm N.A. I
Isopropyl Alcohol 400 ppm 400 ppm
Safety Precautions: Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Fluorotelomer should not be handled around tobacco products. Inhalation of vapors in the
presence of tobacco products causes polymer fume fever.
FIRST AID:
Inhalation: Immediately remove to fresh air. Keep persons calm. If not breathing, give artifical respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Eye: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin: Flush skin with water after excessive contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Oral: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Call a physician.
Note to Physician: Because of a possible disturbance of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine should be
considered only as a last resort in life-threatening emergencies.
PROTECTION INFORMATION:
Generally Applicable Control Measures: Do not consume food, drink or tobacco in the areas where they may become
contaminated with this material. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee
exposure below the recommended exposure limit, especially for enclosed and low
places. Where ventilation is inadequate use local exhaust system designed for
flammable gas atomospheres to remove vapors
Personal Protective Equipment: Use protective gloves such as MYLAR coated Durafab, PVA, or neoprene. Chemical splash
goggles may be worn when handling.
