4.    FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:    Remove to fresh air if coughing, soreness in respiratory tract, chest tightness, or difficulty in breathing occurs.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and seek prompt medical attention.

Eye Contact:    Immediately flush with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes, while holding the eyelids open.  Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents.  Contact a physician if irritation persists.

Skin Contact:    Immediately remove contaminated clothing and flush area with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes.  Contact a physician if irritation persists.

Ingestion:    If patient is conscious, give several glasses of water for dilution effect and contact a physician.  Do not induce vomiting.  Do not give an unconscious person anything by mouth.

Note to Physicians:   Activated charcoal mixture may be administered.  To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400 ml water and mix thoroughly.  Administer 5 ml/kg, or 350 ml for an average adult.

5.    FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point:  >93°C (>199°F)  Cleveland open cup.

      General Hazard:     Hazardous decomposition products including carbon dioxide, carbon

      monoxide, hydrogen fluoride, toxic gases or particles may be formed during combustion.  These

      products may cause severe eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation or toxic effects.     

Fire Fighting Instructions:    Extinguishing media--water fog or spray; carbon dioxide; foam; or earth and mud.  Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hazardous Combustion Products:    Oxides of Carbon, Hydrogen fluoride, and other potentially

toxic gases or particles.  Avoid breathing decomposition products.

6.    ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Land Spill:    Scrape up spilled material and dispose in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations.  If molten, allow to solidify then scrape up spill.

Water Spill:    Remove product layered on water by mechanical means.  Place spill in appropriate container for disposal in approved facilities.

7.    HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage Temperature:        Ambient                            Storage Pressure:       Pressureless

General:    Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.  Keep containers closed.  Keep away from

open flames and heated surfaces above 200°C (392°F).  Avoid circumstances that produce respirable particles unless suitable ventilation and respirator are used.

8.    EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls:    Keep container tightly closed.  Use only with adequate ventilation.  Vent heated extruder or dryer fumes outside work area.  Do not form aerosols.  Minimize worker exposure to mists, sprays, and dusts.

Personal Protection:    Splash-proof goggles with rubber, PVC, or impervious chemical gloves.

Respirator:    None required.  Use NIOSH organic vapor cartridge respirator with dust caps, as appropriate.

Protective Clothing:    Impervious chemical clothing for remediation of large spills.

Exposure Guideline Comments:    No AEL has been established for this product. Other products

with fluorinated material components have AEL of 0.1 mg/m³  (8 hour TWA) for respirable size particles.

9.    PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

10.  STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

General:    Stable

Incompatible Materials and Conditions to Avoid:    None known

Hazardous Decomposition:   Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen fluoride, toxic gases or particles may be formed during combustion.  These products may cause severe eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation or toxic effects.

11.  TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

       Oral ALD 7,500 mg/kg in rats.  The product caused non-specific effects such as weight loss and

       irritation in animals exposed by ingestion.  Based on related products, inhalation of spray or mist

       may cause nasal, throat, or lung irritation.  Inhalation of large amounts of respirable particles

       may be toxic to the lungs.  Symptoms may be modest initially, followed in hours by severe

       shortness of breath requiring prompt medical attention.
