2 - COMPOSITION
a) Substances Predominantly perfluoromethylcyclohexane
b) CAS Number 355-02-2
3 ?HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
a) Hazard Symbols: Not applicable
b) Risk and Safety Keep container tightly closed.
Caution, avoid prolonged and repeated breathing of
concentrated vapour.
Thermal decomposition may produce toxic products.
Small amounts of decomposition may occur above 400癈.
When using do not smoke.
Do not empty into drains.
4 ?FIRST AID MEASURES
a) Inhalation: In case of severe exposure; remove from exposure , rest and
keep warm. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has ceased.
Obtain medical attention if effects are other than slight.
b) Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash off with soap and
water. Obtain medical attention if adverse symptoms arise.
c) Eye contact: Irrigate thoroughly with water. Obtain medical attention if
adverse symptoms arise.
d) Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Obtain medical attention if
adverse symptoms persist.

5 ?FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
a) Suitable Extinguishers: Carbon dioxide
Alcohol resistant foam
Powder
Halons
Water Fog
Water Jets
Inert material ?Sand, earth, etc
Non-combustible material
b) Unsuitable Extinguishers: Not applicable.
c) Hazardous Decomposition: Toxic fumes may be produced on thermal decomposition.
In the presence of other reactive substances and in a fire
situation where hydrogen containing compounds are present,
Hydrogen Fluoride and other toxic products may be formed.
d) Special Procedures: Use water spray to cool containers.
Contact with flames gives rise to toxic vapours; avoid inhalation
of these vapours.
Use approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
Non-essential personnel should be evacuated from the area
until any fumes have dispersed.
Handle contaminated fluid in a ventilated area, avoiding
inhalation of vapour.
6 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
a) Exposure Controls FLUTEC liquid spillages produce very slippery surfaces which
may be hazardous to personnel.
Evacuate area.
Do not allow spillage to enter drains and watercourse.
If water is contaminated inform relevant authority immediately.
b) Personnel Protection: Wear laboratory coat.
Respiratory protection not normally required.
Wear impermeable gloves.
Wear chemical safety spectacles or goggles.
c) Disposal Considerations: Absorb in inert material eg. sand, vermiculite absorbent
granules, place in plastic container for transfer.
Do not allow spillage to enter drains/sewers/water courses.
Dispose of in accordance with local authority regulations.

7 ?HANDLING AND STORAGE
a) Handling Do not smoke when handling.
Avoid contact of vapour or liquid with red-hot surfaces, flames
or electrical arcs as this may give rise to toxic gases such as
Hydrogen Fluoride.
Do not use sodium or similar metals or their hydrides for
removing water from the liquid; other desiccants are
acceptable.
Allow sufficient ullage when drum filling to allow for thermal
expansion.
b) Storage Store in original, tightly closed, labelled container.
Incompatible with Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and
Barium.
