COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Components Chemical Name CAS-No. Concentration 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5, % trans % 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Hazard classification Not classified as dangerous goods according to the ADG Code. Classified as hazardous according to criteria of NOHSC. Risks Harmful by inhalation. Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Safety data Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions/ Safety data sheets. Specific hazards Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Prolonged skin contact may defat the skin and produce dermatitis. May cause cardiac arrhythmia. Misuse or intentional inhalation abuse may lead to death without warning. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES General advice : Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Victim to lie down in the recovery position, cover and keep him warm. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek 1/8

2 medical advice. Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact : Remove from exposure, lie down. Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary. Consult a physician. : Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with warm water. : In case of eye contact Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Ingestion Notes to physician Treatment : Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. If vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Consult a physician. : Do not give adrenaline or similar drugs. 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Specific hazards during firefighting : Water spray, Water mist, Dry chemical, Carbon dioxide (CO2) : Fire or intense heat may cause violent rupture of packages. Hazardous combustion products: Hydrogen fluoride Fluorinated hydrocarbons Carbonyl halides Carbon oxides Hydrogen chloride The product is not flammable. Special protective equipment for firefighters Further information : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective equipment. Wear neoprene gloves during cleaning up work after a fire. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Cool containers / tanks with water spray. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions : Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ventilate area, especially low or enclosed places where heavy vapours might collect. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. : Prevent further leakage or spillage. Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Should not be released into the environment. 2/8

3 Methods for cleaning up : Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Advice on safe handling Advice on protection against fire and explosion : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing vapours or mist. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. For personal protection see section 8. : Avoid any dust buildup with fluorocarbons and metal mixtures. Material should not be dispensed from its container by pouring, except for small sample containers where fume hoods or where other ventilation is used to manage the exposure limits. The use of a drum pump is recommended for dispensing from shipping containers. Storage Requirements for storage areas and containers Further information on storage conditions : Protect from contamination. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and wellventilated place. Store in original container. Avoid freezing temperatures. If stored below -10 C (14 F), mix prior to use. : Keep at temperature not exceeding 52 C. 8.
