Vapor displaces air and can cause asphyxiation. At temperatures >250 deg C decomposition products can include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides. Colorless, odorless Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat. May ignite combustibles. Colorless, odorless Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat. Main Health Hazard Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. No significant target reported. Difficulty breathing Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation Ingestion Eye Skin Health Effects Target Organs When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14%, asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate, and deeper respiration may happen. Unlikely because of boiling point. Can cause severe irritation and frostbite Irritation caused by defatting action on tissue. Liquid causes frostbite. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure.

Flush eyes with plenty of water. If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. Move to fresh air. Rest and keep warm. If breathing stopped, give artificial respiration with one way valve. If occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. If occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. Symptomatic and supportive therapy For inhalation, consider oxygen. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Products of Protection of Firefighters Combustion As appropriate for materials and equipment Move unprotected personnel upwind of leak.
