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: Ingestion may cause nausea and vomiting.
4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact: Flush eyes for 15 minutes with copious amounts of water,
retracting eyelids often. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. Flush with
lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
Inhalation: If symptoms of irritation, discomfort or overcome by exposure,
remove affected person to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as
needed.
Ingestion: 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.
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).
Unusual Fire Hazards: 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).
Fire Fighting Procedures: Use self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
and skin protection for acid gas exposure. Do not enter fire area without
proper protection. Fight fire from safe distance. If possible, air monitoring
should be performed.
6. Accidental Release Measures PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED IN EVENT OF RELEASE: In case of a
release or spill, absorb material onto vermiculite or similar inert absorbent.
Use Perfluorosolv0 PFS-1 Solvent to clean up any remaining liquid. 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.
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.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (8 hr. time weighted average)
None established
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (8 hr. time weighted average)
None established
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation Requirements:
Local Exhaust: Vent vapors or mists generated by processing away from
operating personnel. Local exhaust ventilation at a rate of 50 feet per minute.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respiratory Protection:
No occupational exposure standards have been developed for this material.
In situations where exposure to vapors or mists is likely, NIOSH/MSHA
approved acid and organic vapor respirators are recommended. Respirator
use limitations made by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be
observed. Respiratory protection programs must be in accordance with 29
CFR 1910.134.
Eye Protection:
Eye/Face Protection: ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields
or equivalent, safety goggles
Skin Protection:
Rubber or latex gloves
