---------------------------------------------------------------------HAZARDS
IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------#
Potential Health Effects
Skin contact may include frostbite if
liquid contacts the skin or other membranes.
Eye contact may include eye irritation
with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of
vision.
Inhalation may include nonspecific
discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or
weakness; or temporary central nervous
(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)
system depression with effects such as dizziness,
headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of
consciousness. Very high temperatures (such as a
fire) may cause hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen
bromide gases to form, both of which are extremely
irritating.
Higher exposures may cause temporary alteration
of the heart’s electrical activity with irregular
pulse, palpitations, or inadequate circulation.
Individuals with preexisting diseases of the
central nervous system or cardiovascular system may
have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of
excessive exposures.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at
concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed
by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------FIRST
AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------First
Aid
INHALATION
If high concentrations are inhaled,
immediately remove to fresh air. Keep persons
calm. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush skin with
plenty of water for 15 minutes. Treat for
frostbite if necessary by gently warming
affected area.
EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
Ingestion is not considered a potential route
of exposure.
Notes to Physicians
Because of possible disturbances of cardiac
rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine,
should only be used with special caution in
situations of emergency life support.
---------------------------------------------------------------------FIRE

Properties
Flash Point : Will not burn Flammable limits in
Air, % by Volume
LEL : Not applicable
UEL : Not applicable
Autoignition : Not determined
Autodecomposition : >850 C (>1562 F)
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Cylinders are equipped with temperature and
pressure relief devices but may still rupture under
fire conditions. Decomposition may occur.
Extinguishing Media
As appropriate for combustibles in area. Fire
Fighting Instructions
Use water spray or fog to cool containers.
Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is
required if cylinders rupture or release under fire
conditions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------ACCIDENTAL
RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------Safeguards
(Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING
(PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with
clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area-especially low or enclosed places
where heavy vapors might collect. Remove open
flames. Use
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for
large leak or spill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------HANDLING
AND STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------Handling
(Personnel)
Avoid breathing very high concentrations of
vapors. Avoid contact of eyes or skin with liquid.
Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee
exposure below recommended limits.
(HANDLING AND STORAGE - Continued)
Storage
Clean, dry area. Do not heat above 125 deg F.
---------------------------------------------------------------------EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------Engineering
Controls
Normal ventilation for standard use procedures is
generally adequate. Local exhaust should be used
when large amounts are released. Mechanical
ventilation should be used in low or enclosed
places.
Personal Protective Equipment
Impervious gloves should be used to avoid
prolonged or repeated exposure. Chemical splash
goggles should be worn as needed to prevent eye
contact. Under normal
manufacturing conditions no respiratory
protection is required when using this product.
Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is
required if a large spill occurs.
Exposure Guidelines
Applicable Exposure Limits METHANE,
BROMOTRIFLUORO-
PEL (OSHA) : 1,000 ppm, 6,100 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA
TLV (ACGIH) : 1,000 ppm, 6,090 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA
AEL * (DuPont) : None Established
* AEL is DuPont’s Acceptable Exposure Limit.
Where governmentally imposed occupational exposure
limits which are lower than the AEL are in effect,
such limits shall take precedence.

---------------------------------------------------------------------TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------#
Animal Data
Inhalation 1-hour LC50: >770,000 ppm in rats
The compound is untested for skin or eye
irritancy, and for animal sensitization.
Exposure to large amounts by inhalation
caused central nervous system depression.
Cardiac sensitization was observed in dogs
exposed to atmospheres containing 7.5% or more
FC-13b1. Repeated exposures to lethal or near
lethal amounts caused lung irritation and
degeneration of the liver and kidneys.
No animal test reports are available to
define carcinogenic, or reproductive hazards.
Tests in animals demonstrate no developmental
toxicity.
This compound does not produce genetic damage
in bacterial cell cultures but has not been
tested in animals.
