Section 3 - Potential Health Effects Effects of Overexposure:
Eye Contact Eye contact may cause slight irritation.
Skin Contact Skin contact may cause slight irritation.
Inhalation Inhalation of vapors or mists may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion Not an expected exposure route. Ingestion may cause nausea and vomiting.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Flush eyes for 15 minutes with copious amounts of water, retracting eyelids often. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
If symptoms of irritation, discomfort or overcome by exposure, remove affected person to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as needed.
If conscious, drink three to four 8 ounce glasses of water or milk. Call a physician. If unconscious, immediately take affected person to a hospital. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Not Applicable Lower Explosive Limit: Not Applicable Upper Explosive Limit: Not Applicable Autoignition Temperature: Not Applicable Extinguishing Media: Water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2).
Fluoropolymers will degrade upon prolonged heating or in a fire, liberating carbonyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride (HF). This gas is toxic if inhaled or it comes into contact with moist skin. HF has an ACGIH TLV ceiling limit of 3 ppm (2.6 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL TWA of 3 ppm. Carbonyl fluoride has an ACGIH TLV TWA and OSHA PEL TWA of 2 ppm (5 mg/m3).
Use self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and skin protection for acid gas exposure. Do not enter fire area without proper protection. Fight fire from a safe distance. If possible, air monitoring should be performed.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
In case of a release or spill, absorb material onto vermiculite or similar inert absorbent. Use Perfluorosolv0 PFS1 Solvent to clean any residual material. Place spilled material into covered container for disposal. Dispose of according to applicable local, state and federal regulations. Extinguish all ignition sources and evacuate the area. Exercise caution; spill area may be slippery.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Wash hands after use and before handling food or applying cosmetics. Do not use tobacco products in the immediate area. Keep containers closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Do not store near combustible materials.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
None established
None established
Ventilation Requirements:
