SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal decomposition of the product is possible, wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed areas of the head. No unusual effects are anticipated during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing the products and substances that may result from the thermal decomposition of the product or the other substances in the fire zone. Keep containers cool with water spray when exposed to fire to avoid rupture.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition. See section 8, Health Hazard Data.

SPILL RESPONSE:

Observe precautions from other sections. In accordance with good industrial practice, provide exhaust ventilation for large spills or in confined spaces. Collect spilled material with an absorbent. Place in an approved container.

RECOMMENDED DISPOSAL:

As a disposal alternative, incinerate in the presence of a combustible material in an industrial or commercial facility capable of handling halogonated waste. Reclaim if feasible. For information on product return, contact your distributor.

Since regulations vary, consult applicable regulations or authorities before disposal. U.S. Clean Water Act, Section 307, Toxic Pollutants = None. U.S. EPA Hazardous Waste Number = None (Not U.S. EPA Hazardous). The components of this product are in compliance with the chemical registration requirements of: TSCA, CDSL, AICS.

OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:

EPCRA 311/312 Reportable Quantity = Not Reportable. Transportation Information: Not regulated, all transportation modes. This substance did not degrade significantly in a ready biodegradation test. This compound is completely fluorinated (perfluorinated), or it contains perfluorinated portions. Perfluoroalkyl groups resist degradation inmost natural environments. This low-solubility substance has insignificant toxicity to aquatic organisms (Lowest LL5O or EL5O is >1000 mg/L). LL5O (Lethal Level) and EL50 are similar to LC50 and EC50, but tests the water phase from incompletely-miscible mixtures This substance has insignificant toxicity to wastewater treatment system organisms (sludge respiration IC50 > 1000 mg/L).

EPCRA HAZARD CLASS:

FIRE HAZARD: No PRESSURE: No REACTIVITY: No ACUTE: No CHRONIC: No


6. SUGGESTED FIRST AID


EYE CONTACT:

Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water. Get immediate

medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT:

Wash affected area with soap and water.

INHALATION:

If signs/symptoms occur, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, call a physician.

IF SWALLOWED:

No need for first aid is anticipated.

OTHER FIRST AID:

This product is not expected to be irritating to the eyes, skin or respiratory system at room temperature conditions. This assessment does not account for contaminants from product use. The suggested first aid measures are basic first aid measures for removal of foreign materials from the skin and/or eyes.


7. PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION


EYE PROTECTION:

As a good industrial hygiene practice: Wear safety glasses with side shields.

SKIN PROTECTION:

Gloves are not required.

VENTILATION PROTECTION:

As a good industrial hygiene practice: For those situations where the fluid might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use withappropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines (SEE SECTION 8).

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. If thermal decomposition occurs: Avoid breathing of thermal decomposition products. Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with OSHA regulations: half-mask supplied air respirator, full-face supplied air respirator.

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTAL INGESTION:

Not an expected route of exposure.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE:

Store under normal warehouse conditions.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION AVOIDANCE:

Nonflammable.

OTHER PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION:

No smoking: Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the formation of the hazardous decomposition products mentioned in section 4 of this MSDS.
