Section 3: Hazard Identification

Emergency overview:

Physical Health Hazards: Eye, skin, and inhalation hazards exist.
       
         Physical state: Liquid

                  Color: Clear colorless

                   Odor: None
 
         Odor threshold: No data available


Potential Health Effects:

          Routes of exposure:
                         Eye contact, inhalation, skin contact

Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:

Skin contact:
        May produce irritation or contact dermatitis which may be delayed 
        several hours.  Prompt and thorough washing with soap and water 
        will reduce or eliminate potential dermal effects.

Inhalation:
        Inhalation of vapors or mists may irritate the respiratory tract.

Eye contact:
        May cause slight irritation.

Ingestion:
        Not known.  This is not an anticipated route of exposure.  
        Ingestion may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, 
        nausea and vomiting.

Chronic Health Effects Summary:

Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
        No known conditions are aggravated by this material.



Section 4: First Aid Measures


      Eyes:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious 
             amounts of flowing water for at least 15 minutes, retracting 
             eye lids often.  Get medical attention if irritation persists.

      Skin:  Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water.  Flush with 
             luke warm water for 15 minutes.

Inhalation:  If symptoms of irritation or discomfort are experienced, 
             or person is overcome by exposure, remove at once 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 physician at once.  If unconscious, immediately 
             take affected person to a hospital.  Do not give anything by 
             mouth to an unconscious person.




Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      

Flammability classification:  Not classified.  

Flash Point/Method:           Not applicable

Auto-Ignition Temperature:    Not applicable

Flammable Limits:  Lower:     Not applicable
                   Upper:     Not applicable

Extinguishing Media:          Water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or 
                              carbon dioxide (CO2)



Special Conditions to Avoid:
      High temperatures

Extinguishing Media:
      Water spray, foam carbon dioxide, dry chemical


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 ACGIL TLV and OSHA PEL 
      TWA of 2 ppm (5 mg/m³).


Firefighting 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.




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      

Release response:

         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



Storage and handling:  Store in sealed containers. Do not store near 
                       combustible materials. Keep away from heat, 
                       sparks, and flames.

Wash hands after use and before handling food or applying cosmetics.  
Do not use tobacco products in the immediate area.  Do not contaminate 
cigarette or cigar products with the product because it will decompose 
in the heat of the cigarette (or cigar) to HF which is very toxic.




Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (8 hour time weighted average)
            None established

OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (8 hour 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 Protection:
   
   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.

   Additional Comments about Respiratory Protection:

   The above statements about respiratory protection are precautionary
   in nature.  PFS-2 is used as a solvent for precision cleaning or leak
   testing, applications  where the fluid can become contaminated with
   foreign material that are themselves respiratory tract irritants.
   In some cases these materials are heated and/or mist and vapors could
   be present.  The MSDS includes the need for respirators to ensure
   that exposures don't occur and recommends an organic vapor acid type
   cartridge respirator or adequate ventilation to remove the vapors/mists.

   Please note that the handling of the PSF-2 fluids in its supplied
   state does not require respiratory protection.  The statements in
   the MSDS are overly cautious based on historical experience with
   our customers and their applications, and the possibility of
   contamination with foreign material during use.

   Skin: 
         Rubber or latex gloves recommended but not necessary.

   Eye:  
         ANSI 87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields or equivalent
