1 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET R-407C 1. CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Product Nam: R-407C Manufacturrs: SRF Ltd. Chmicals Businss V&PO: JHIWANA, Thsil. TIJARA, Dist. - ALWAR, RAJASTHAN, INDIA Pin Cod EMERGENCY CONTACT: (24 Hours/Day, 7 Days/Wk) Mr. Himanshu Shukla +91 (01493) , COMPOSITION, INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS INGREDIENT NAME WEIGHT % CAS NUMBER Difluoromthan (HFC-32) Pntafluorothan (HFC-125) ,1,1,2-Ttrafluorothan (HFC-134a) HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Colorlss, volatil liquid with thral and faint swtish odor. -flammabl matrial. Ovrxposur may caus dizzinss and loss of concntration. At highr lvls, CNS dprssion and cardiac arrhythmia may rsult from xposur. Vapors displac air and can caus asphyxiation in confind spacs. At highr tmpraturs, (>250 C), dcomposition products may includ Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halids. Rviwd on: Pag 1 of 10

2 POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS SKIN: Irritation would rsult from a dfatting action on tissu. Liquid contact could caus frostbit. EYES: Liquid contact can caus svr irritation and frostbit. Mist may irritat. INHALATION: R-407C is low in acut toxicity in animals. Whn oxygn lvls in air ar rducd to 12-14% by displacmnt, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, incrasd puls rat and dpr rspiration will occur. At high lvls, cardiac arrhythmia may occur. INGESTION: Ingstion is unlikly bcaus of th low boiling point of th matrial. Should it occur, discomfort in th gastrointstinal tract from rapid vaporation of th matrial and consqunt volution of gas would rsult. Som ffcts of inhalation and skin xposur would b xpctd. DELAYED EFFECTS: known. Ingrdints found on on of th OSHA dsignatd carcinogn lists ar listd blow. INGREDIENT NAME NTP STATUS IARC STATUS OSHA LIST No ingrdints listd in this sction 4. FIRST AID MEASURES SKIN: Promptly flush skin with watr until all chmical is rmovd. If thr is vidnc of frostbit, bath (do not rub) with lukwarm (not hot) watr. If watr is not availabl, covr with a clan, soft cloth or similar covring. Gt mdical attntion if symptoms prsist. EYES: Immdiatly flush ys with larg amounts of watr for at last 15 minuts (in cas of frostbit watr should b lukwarm, not hot) lifting ylids occasionally to facilitat irrigation. Gt mdical attntion if symptoms prsist. INHALATION: Immdiatly rmov to frsh air. If brathing has stoppd, giv artificial rspiration. Us oxygn as rquird, providd a qualifid oprator is availabl. Gt mdical attntion. Do not giv pinphrin (adrnalin). Rviwd on: Pag 2 of 10

3 INGESTION: Ingstion is unlikly bcaus of th physical proprtis and is not xpctd to b hazardous. Do not induc vomiting unlss instructd to do so by a physician. ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: Bcaus of th possibl disturbancs of cardiac rhythm, catcholamin drugs, such as pinphrin, should b usd with spcial caution and only in situations of mrgncy lif support. Tratmnt of ovrxposur should b dirctd at th control of symptoms and th clinical conditions. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES FLASH POINT: Gas, not applicabl pr DOT rgulations FLASH POINT METHOD: Not applicabl AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE:Unknown for mixtur UPPER FLAME LIMIT (volum % in air): * LOWER FLAME LIMIT (volum % in air): * *Basd on ASHRAE Standard 34 with match ignition FLAME PROPAGATION RATE (solids): Not applicabl OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: Not applicabl EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Us any standard agnt choos th on most appropriat for typ of surrounding fir (matrial itslf is not flammabl. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: R-407C is not flammabl at ambint tmpraturs and atmosphric prssur. Howvr, this matrial will bcom combustibl whn mixd with air undr prssur and xposd to strong ignition sourcs. Contact with crtain ractiv mtals may rsult in formation of xplosiv or xothrmic ractions undr spcific conditions (.g. vry high tmpraturs and/or appropriat prssurs). Rviwd on: Pag 3 of 10

4 SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS: Firfightrs should war slf-containd, NIOSH-approvd brathing apparatus for protction against possibl toxic dcomposition products. Propr y and skin protction should b providd. Us watr spray to kp fir-xposd. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: (Always war rcommndd prsonal protctiv quipmnt.) Evacuat unprotctd prsonnl. Protctd prsonnl should rmov ignition sourcs and shut off lak, if without risk, and provid vntilation. Unprotctd prsonnl should not rturn until air has bn tstd and dtrmind saf, including low- lying aras. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE NORMAL HANDLING: Always war rcommndd prsonal protctiv quipmnt.) Avoid brathing vapors and liquid contact with ys, skin or clothing. Do not punctur or drop cylindrs, xpos thm to opn flam or xcssiv hat. Us authorizd cylindrs only. Follow standard safty prcautions for handling and us of comprssd gas cylindrs. R-407C should not b mixd with air abov atmosphric prssur for lak tsting or any othr purpos. STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS: Stor in a cool, wll-vntilatd ara of low fir risk and out of dirct sunlight. Protct cylindr and its fittings from physical damag. Storag in subsurfac locations should b avoidd. Clos valv tightly aftr us and whn mpty. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION Rviwd on: Pag 4 of 10

5 ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provid local vntilation at filling zons and aras whr lakag is probabl. Mchanical (gnral) vntilation may b adquat for othr oprating and storag aras. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SKIN PROTECTION: Skin contact with rfrigrant may caus frostbit. Gnral work clothing and glovs (lathr) should provid adquat protction. If prolongd contact with th liquid or gas is anticipatd, insulatd glovs constructd of PVA, noprn or butyl rubbr should b usd. Any contaminatd clothing should b promptly rmovd and washd bfor rus. EYE PROTECTION: For normal conditions, war safty glasss. Whr thr is rasonabl probability of liquid contact, war chmical safty goggls. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: gnrally rquird for adquatly vntilatd work situations. For accidntal rlas or non-vntilatd situations, or rlas into confind spac, whr th concntration may b abov th PEL of 1,000 ppm, us a slf-containd, NIOSHapprovd brathing apparatus or supplid air rspirator. For scap: us th formr or a NIOSH-approvd gas mask with organic vapor canistr. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Whr contact with liquid is likly, such as in a spill or lak, imprvious boots and clothing should b worn. High dos-lvl warning signs ar rcommndd for aras of principl xposur. Provid ywash stations and quick-drnch showr facilitis at convnint locations.
