Section 3: Hazard Identification


Emergency overview:

White grease.  Thermal decomposition will generate hydrogen 
fluoride (HF), which is corrosive.

Appearance: White grease
 
Flash Point:  N/A
 
Warning!
Thermal decomposition will generate hydrogen fluoride (HF), which is corrosive.


Potential Health Effects

Eye: Eye contact may cause slight irritation.

Skin: Skin contact may cause slight irritation.

Ingestion: Not an expected exposure route.  Ingestion may cause nausea 
and vomiting.

Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the 
mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
 
 


Section 4: First Aid Measures



Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, 
holding eyelids open.  Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin: Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water.  Flush with lukewarm 
water for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion:
If conscious, drink 3 to 4 eight oz glasses of water or milk.  Seek medical 
attention.  If unconscious, take person to hospital.  Do not give anything 
by mouth to an unconscious person.

Inhalation:
If symptoms of irritation or discomfort are experienced, remove to fresh air.  
Give oxygen is breathing is difficult or artificial respiration if person is 
not breathing.




Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      

General Information:
	Flash Point: N/A
	Lower Explosive Limit: N/A
	Upper Explosive Limit: N/A
	Autoignition Temperature: N/A

Extinguishing Media:
	Water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide

Fire Righting 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. 

Unusual Fire Hazards:
	Will thermally decompose upon prolonged heating or in a fire, liberating 
        hydrogen fluoride (HF) and carbonyl fluoride(COF2).  This gas is toxic if 
        inhaled or in contact with moist skin. 
 
HF has an ACGIH PEL TLV (8hr TWA) of 0.5 ppm and a ceiling limit of 2 ppm
	(1.7 mg/m3).
COF2 has an ACGIH TLV of 2 ppm (5.4 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL TWA of 2 ppm( 5 mg/m3).
 



Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      

General Information:
In case of a release or spill, absorb material onto vermiculite or similar 
inert absorbent. Place spilled material into covered container for disposal. 
Extinguish all ignition sources and evacuate the area. Exercise caution, spill 
area may be slippery. 

Recommended Disposal:
Dispose according to applicable local, state/provincial and federal regulations



Section 7: Handling and Storage


Handling:
	Wash hands after use and before handling food or applying cosmetics.  
        Do not use tobacco products in the immediate area. 

Storage:
	Keep containers closed.  Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.   
        Do not store near combustible materials.



Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Engineering Controls:
Local exhaust ventilation at a rate of 50 feet per minute. Vent vapors or mists 
generated by processing away from operating personnel. 


Exposure Limits:
Chemical Name		ACGIH			OSHA - Final PELs
Fomblin ZNF Grease	none established	none established		


Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields or equivalent.

Skin:

Respirators:
Respiratory Protection: No occupational standards have been developed for this
material. In situations where exposure to vapors or mists is likely, NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirators are recommended. Respirator use limitation made by NIOSH/MSHA
or the manufacturer must be observed. Respiratory protection programs must be in
accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
