Perfluoroalkylether 60164-51-4 100
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
Skin contact
may cause reddening of the skin. The product
was not a skin
irritant or skin sensitizer in a 100 person
human patch
test.
Based on data
from animal tests, eye contact may cause eye
irritation
with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision.
Inhalation
of fluorine containing compounds released as
decomposition
products from overheated or burning product
may cause lung
irritation and pulmonary edema which require
medical treatment.
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 inhaled,
remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
The compound
is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but
cleansing the
skin after use is advisable.
EYE CONTACT
In case of
contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least
15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If swallowed,
do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses
of water. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal
mixture may be administered. To prepare
activated charcoal
mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal
in
400 mL water
and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 mL/kg, or 350 mL
for an average
adult.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point : Does not ignite
Method :
PMCC
Non-combustible.
Extinguishing Media
As appropriate
for combustibles in area.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus. Wear full protective
equipment.
Decomposition
at flame temperatures may form toxic fluorine
compounds.
Avoid breathing decomposition products.
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.
Spill Clean Up
Soak up with
sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material.
Shovel or sweep
up.
Accidental Release Measures
Place in container
for disposal. Remove source of heat and
flame.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling (Personnel)
Perfluoropolyether
oils are considered to be inert and of
low toxicity. However, as with all lubricants it is
important to
observe correct hygiene practices. Avoid
contact with
eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Wash thoroughly
after handling.
Storage
Keep container
tightly closed. Do not store or consume food,
drink or tobacco
in areas where they may become contaminated with
this material.
Keep away from
heat and flames to avoid decomposition
products.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Keep container
tightly closed.
Use ventilation
when the oil is heated above 550 degF. Keep
away from heat
and flames.
Personal Protective Equipment
EYE/FACE PROTECTION
Wear safety
glasses or coverall chemical splash goggles.
RESPIRATOR
Wear NIOSH
approved respiratory protection as appropriate.
PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING
Where there
is potential for skin contact have available
and wear as
appropriate, impervious gloves, apron, pants,
and jacket.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
# Animal Data
Inhalation
4 Hour ALC: >19.54 mg/L in rats
Skin
Absorption ALD: >17,000 mg/kg in rabbits
Oral
ALD: >25,000
mg/kg in rats
The product
is a mild skin and eye irritant, but is not a
skin sensitizer
in tests on animals. A single inhalation
exposure produced
nonspecific effects such as respiratory
irritation. Exposure to thermal decomposition products
produced irritation,
irregular respiration, tremors and
increased liver
weight. Repeated inhalation exposures to
10, 100, or
1000 mg/m3 caused increased lung weights and
microscopic
particle-laden macrophages in the lungs and
lymphs nodes;
this was an expected pulmonary response to
high aerosol
concentrations of an inert material. No animal
test reports
are available to define carcinogenic,
developmental,
or reproductive hazards. Tests have shown
that the product
did not cause genetic damage in bacterial
cell cultures.
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal
Treatment,
storage, transportation, and disposal must be in
accordance
with applicable Federal, State/Provincial, and Local
regulations. Do not flush to surface water or sanitary sewer
system.
