1.3. EQUIPMENT SAFETY DATA
Safety Data R410A
Toxicity Low
In contact with skin
Skin contact with the rapidly evaporating liquid may cause tissue chilblains. In case of skin contact with
the liquid, warm the frozen tissue with water and call a doctor. Remove contaminated clothing and
footwear. Wash the clothing prior to re-use.
In contact with eyes
Vapours have no effect. Liquid splashes or sprays may cause freeze burns. In these cases rinse your eyes
with running water or with a solution for eye lavages for at least 10 minutes. Immediately contact a
doctor.
Ingestion
In this case, burns may result. Do not attempt to make the patient vomit. If the patient is conscious, rinse
the mouth with water. Call a doctor immediately.
Inhalation
In case of inhalation, move the patient to an area with fresh air and provide oxygen if necessary. Perform
artificial respiration if the patient has stopped breathing or lacks air. In case of cardiac arrest, perform
external cardiac massage. Call a doctor immediately.
Further Medical Advice
Exposure to high concentrations can be dangerous for individuals with cardiac problems, as the presence
of catecholamines such as adrenalin in the bloodstream may lead to increased arrhythmia and possible
cardiac arrest.
Occupational exposure limits R410A: Recommended limits: 1,000 ppm v/v 8 hours TWA.
Stability Stable product
Conditions to avoid
Increased pressure due to high temperatures may cause the container to explode. Keep out of the sun
and do not expose to a temperature >50°C.
Hazardous reactions Possibility of dangerous reactions in case of fire due to the presence of F and/or CI radicals.
General precautions
Avoid the inhalation of high concentrations of vapours. The concentration in the atmosphere shall be kept
at the minimum value and anyway below the occupational limits. Since vapours are heavier than air and
they tend to stagnate and to build up in closed areas, any opening for ventilation shall be made at the
lowest level.
Breathing protection
In case of doubt about the actual concentration, wear breathing apparatus. It should be self-contained
and approved by the bodies for safety protection.
Storage Preservation
Refrigerant containers shall be stored in a cool place, away from fire risk, direct sunlight and all
heat sources, such as radiators. The maximum temperature shall never exceed 50°C in the storage
place.
Protection clothes Wear boots, safety gloves and glasses or masks for facial protection.
Behaviour in case of leaks or
escapes
Never forget to wear protection clothes and brething apparatus. Isolate the source of the leakage,
provided that this operation may be performed in safety conditions. Any small quantity of
refrigerant which may have escaped in its liquid state may evaporate provided that the room is
well ventilated.In case of a large leakage, ventilate the room immediately. Stop the leakage with
sand, earth or any suitable absorbing material. Prevent the liquid refrigerant from flowing into
drains, sewers, foundations or absorbing wells since its vapours may create an asphyxiating atmosphere.
Disposal
The best procedure involves recovery and recycle. If this is not possible, the refrigerant shall be
given to a plant which is well equipped to destroy and neutralise any acid and toxic by-product
which may derive from its disposal.
Combustibility features R410A: Non-inflammable at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressures.
Containers
If they are exposed to the fire, they shall be constantly cooled down by water sprays.
Containers may explode if they are overheated.
Behaviour in case of fire In case of fire wear protection clothes and self-contained breathing apparatus.
