SAFETY DATA SHEET - R-410A

EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes (in case of frostbite

water should be lukewarm, not hot) lifting eyelids occasionally to facilitate irrigation. Get medical attention if

symptoms persist.

INHALATION: Immediately remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Use

oxygen as required, provided a qualified operator is available. Get medical attention. Do not give epinephrine

(adrenaline).

INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the physical properties and is not expected to be hazardous.

In case of accidental ingestion, get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a

physician.

ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: Because of the possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs,

such as epinephrine, should be used with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support. Treatment

of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical conditions.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES

FLASH POINT: No flash point

FLASH POINT METHOD: Not applicable

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: not determined

UPPER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): None per ASTM E681

LOWER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): None per ASTM E681

FLAME PROPAGATION RATE (solids): Not applicable

OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: Not applicable

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:

Use any standard agent – choose the one most appropriate for type of surrounding fire (material itself is not

flammable)

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

Cylinders may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur.

R-410A is not flammable in air at temperatures up to 100° C (212° F) at atmospheric pressure. However, this

material can become combustible when mixed with air at elevated pressure and/or temperature in the presence of an

ignition sources. R-410A can also become combustible in an oxygen enriched environment. Contact with certain

reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic reactions under specific conditions (e.g. very

high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures).

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:

In the event of fire, firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for protection

against possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray

to keep fire-exposed cylinders/tanks cool.
