Ingestion :
Is not considered a potential route of exposure.
General advice :
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. When symptoms
persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
Notes to physician :
Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs,
such as epinephrine, that may be used in situations of emergency life support
should be used with special caution.
SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash point :
does not flash
Ignition temperature :
> 743 °C (> 1,369 °F) at 1,013 hPa
Lower explosion limit :
Method : None per ASTM E681
Upper explosion limit :
Method : None per ASTM E681
Fire and Explosion Hazard :
Hazardous thermal decomposition products:
Carbon oxides
Hydrogen fluoride
Carbonyl fluoride
Cylinders are equipped with pressure and temperature relief devices, but may
still rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur. Contact of
welding or soldering torch flame with high concentrations of refrigerant can
result in visible changes in the size and colour of the torch flame. This flame
effect will only occur in concentrations of product well above the
recommended exposure limit. Therefore stop all work and ventilate to
disperse refrigerant vapors from the work area before using any open flames.
