Extinguishing Medium and Instructions:
Small fire: Use dry chemical powder
Large fire: Use water spray, fog, or foam. Do not use water jet.
Not a fire hazard. Use extinguishing materials to treat the surrounding
fire, such as water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide
(CO2). Use self-contained breathing apparatus 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.
Protective clothing:
Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Special remarks on fire hazards:
NFPA health hazard rating of 3 is assigned due to toxicity of thermal
decomposition products, fluorine (HF), otherwise the material itself
warrants a a health hazard rating of 1. Thermal decomposition of this
product will generate hydrogen fluoride (HF), which is corrosive causing
burns on contact with skin and other tissue. Fluoropolymers will degrade
upon prolonged heating or in a fire, liberating carbonyl fluoride and
hydrogen fluoride. This gas is toxic if inhaled or if 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 (5mg/m3).
Special remarks on explosion hazards:
Fluoropolymers will degrade upon prolonged heating ir in a fire, liberating
carbonyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride. The gas is toxic if inhaled or it
comes in contact with moist skin. HF has an ACGIF TLV ceiling limit of 3
ppm (2.5 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL TWA of 3 ppm. Carbonyl fluoride has
an ACFIH TLV TWA and OSH PEL TWA of 2 ppm (5 mg/m3).
Small spill and leak: Absorb with an inert material, such as SPI Wipers, lint-free cotton wipers, and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Large spill and leak: Absorb in an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Do not allow to enter drains or waterways. Recommended disposal: Dispose according to applicable local, state/provincial and federal regulations.
Storage and handling: Store in sealed containers at room temperature. Avoid prolonged/repeated breathing of vapors, mists, fumes. Keep container tightly closed. Do not store near combustible materials or heat. 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. Maintain adequate ventilation. If the product arrived in a drum (as opposed to glass bottles) do not cut, grind, drill, reuse or dispose of containers unless adequate precautions are taken against those hazards.
Engineering Controls: Ventilation requirements: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location. Provide exhaust if temperature is expected to exceed 300°C. Good industrial hygiene practices recommend that engineering controls be used to reduce environmental concentrations to the threshold limit (TLV) or permissible exposure limit (PEL), if applicable,. If any associated TLV or PEL is exceeded, provide NIOSH approved respiratory protection. Personal protection: Hands: Use PVC or nitrile or Neoprene type gloves for impervious protection when handling this product. Eye: ANSI 87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields or equivalent or chemical goggles. Good eye wash facility nearby. Body: Synthetic apron Respiratory: Not applicable Feet: Not applicable Personal protection in case of a large spill: Splash goggles, full suit, boots, gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient, so consult a specialist before handling this product. Exposure limits: No hazardous ingredients, consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
