First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh. If breathing is stopped or seems to be difficult, give artificial respiration and seek medical attention immediately.
IF ON SKIN: Wash contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove/ take off contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell or skin irritation/ rush occurs.
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with running water for several minutes while holding eyelid(s) open so that all sites can be rinsed well. Seek medical attention if pain or irritation occurs.
IF INGESTED: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell or any symptoms appear.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Excessive inhalation or accidental ingestion/ skin or eye contact may cause eye, skin or respiratory tract irritation or systemic health effects.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
In order to prevent secondary exposure, first-aiders should wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye or face protection/ respiratory protective equipment as appropriate.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
For small fires: Carbon dioxide or dry chemical is recommended.
For large fires: Use aqueous foam or water spray.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Toxic gases and/or fumes may be formed upon combustion and represents hazards to figherfighters.

Advice for firefighters
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) during the attach stage of firefighting operations and cleaning-up in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas immediately after the fire.
Personnel not wearing suitable respiratory protection must leave the area to prevent exposure to toxic combustion gases.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel:
Stay in the windward. Immediately eliminate all sources of combustion such as flammable materials if it can be done without risk.

For emergency responders:
Wear suitable protective equipment (see Section 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment) to avoid contact with eyes and skin or inhalation. Ventilate before entering the contaminated area.

Environmental precautions
Do not release to the environment e.g. municipal sewers or waterways.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Collect spilled material and ventilate the contaminated area. Absorb remaining residue with inert material and place into closed containers until disposal. Wash spilled area with soap and water.


Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Containment and measures for safe handling:
Use only well-ventilated area. Avoid inhalation of vapours or mists. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Incompatible substances or mixture:
Strong oxidisers

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in a well ventilated place. Keep container closed when not in use.

Specific end use(s)
Fluorochemical cleaning agent

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters
Occupational Exposure Limits: No official value specified.
Manufacturer's recommendation: TWA: 123 ppm, Ceiling: 500 ppm
. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls:
Control airborne concentrations below the recommended exposure limits.
Use only under places where adequate ventilation is provided and mechanical ventilation is recommended.
Operate ventilation fan when handling, cleaning, drying or maintenance operation.
Circulate coolant in cooling coils located at the top of cleaning/ drying tanks to minimise potential exposure.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Respiratory protection: In order to protect against process vapours or mists, wear a certificated respiratory protection suitable for anticipated airborne concentration. Wear a positive pressure air-supplied respirator in situations possible elevated concentrations.
Other measures: During processing operations, safety goggles or safety glasses with face shield suitable for keeping liquid material out of the eyes should be worn when eye contact is concerned. Rubber gloves and apron should be worn when skin contact is concerned. Install eye washer and safety shower near handling place.
Environmental exposure controls:
Avoid release to the environment. Operate in accordance with the national and/or international laws and regulations.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity
None

Chemical stability
Stable under normal conditions

Possibility of hazardous reactions
Hydrogen fluoride may be produced if exposed to excessive heat by decomposition, or mixed with strong oxidisers, e.g. sulphuric acid. Gradually decompose in the presence of alkali.

Conditions to avoid
Overheating, open flame, ignition or heat source, and sparks

Incompatible materials
Strong oxidisers, strong acids, strong alkali, alkaline earth metals (e.g. powdered Al, Zn, Be, etc)

Hazardous decomposition products
Hydrogen fluoride and carbonyl fluoride

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods
Disposal of liquid wastes and solids containing free liquid by landfill is prohibit in the most jurisdictions.
It is recommended to incinerate wastes and containers at high temperature in accordance with the national and international laws and regulations.
Containers of this product may be hazardous when emptied.
Empty containers may retain this product as liquid and vapours.
