HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
# Potential Health Effects
ANIMAL DATA:
Perfluoroalkylether:
Inhalation
4 hour ALC: 19.54 mg/l in rats
Skin
absorption ALD: >17,000 mg/kg in rats
Oral
ALD: >25,000
mg/kg in rats
The product
contains a mild and a slight eye irritant.
Polytetrafluoroethylene
is not a skin irritant in animals. A
single inhalation
exposure to perfluoroalkylether caused
nonspecific
effects such as respiratory irritation. Toxic
effects described
in animals exposed to decomposition
products of
the product formed above 260 degC (500 degF)
include lung
irritation, irregular respiration, tremors and
increased liver
weight. Pulmonary edema and death occurred
in rats exposed
to the decomposition products of
perfluoroalkylether
formed at around 290 degC (554 degF). A
single inhalation
exposure to polytetrafluoroethylene caused
irritation
of the lungs in animals. Repeated ingestion
exposures to
polytetrafluoroethylene caused no significant
toxicological
effects; long-term ingestion exposure caused
altered white
blood cell counts.
HUMAN HEALTH
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Skin contact
may cause skin irritation with discomfort or
rash. Prolonged
skin contact may cause redness and
inflammation
of the hair follicles without skin
sensitization.
Eye contact
may cause eye irritation with discomfort,
tearing or
blurring of vision.
Inhalation
of fluorine compounds released as decomposition
products at
around 290 degC (554 degF) may cause lung
irritation
and pulmonary edema which require medical
treatment.
Inhalation of burning material or smoke from
cigarettes
or tobacco contaminated with this product may
cause polymer
fume fever. Polymer fume fever is a flu-like
illness with
fever, chills and sometimes cough, which occurs
several hours
after exposure and subsides within 24-48 hours
even in the
absence of treatment. Polymer fume fever does
not cause permanent
injury and the effects are not
cumulative.
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
Flush skin
with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse.
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.
