HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
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 above
290 degC (554 degF) may cause lung irritation
and pulmonary
edema which require medical treatment.
Inhalation
of fumes or smoke from overheated or burning
grease may
cause polymer fume fever, a temporary flu-like
illness accompanied
by fever, chills, and sometimes cough,
of approximately
24 hours duration. Repeated episodes of
polymer fume
fever may cause lung damage.
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.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point : None
Method :
TCC
Non-combustible.
Extinguishing Media
Use media appropriate
for surrounding material.
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.
Accidental Release Measures
Place in container
for disposal. Remove source of heat
and flame.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling (Personnel)
Avoid contact
with eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Wash
thoroughly
after handling. Do not store or consume food, drink
or
tobacco in
areas where they may become contaminated with this
material.

Keep container
tightly closed.
Keep away from
heat and flames.
Personal Protective Equipment
EYE/FACE PROTECTION
Wear safety
glasses or coverall chemical splash goggles.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Data
pH :
Neutral
Odor :
Odorless
Form :
Oil
Color :
Clear
Specific Gravity : 1.9
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability
Stable at normal
temperatures and storage conditions.
Incompatibility with Other Materials
None reasonably
foreseeable.
Decomposition
Heating above
260-290 degC (500-554 degF) may form
potentially
toxic fluorine compounds. Depolymerization may
occur in the
presence of some metal oxides at temperatures
above 288 degC
(550 degF). Decomposition occurs at
increasing
rates as temperature is raised above 355 degC
(670 degF).
Polymerization
Polymerization
will not occur.
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Animal Data
Perfluoroalkylether:
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
Perfluoroalkylether
is a mild eye irritant, is not tested
for skin irritation,
and is not tested for animal
sensitization. A single inhalation exposure to
perfluoroalkylether
caused nonspecific effects such as
respiratory
irritation. Exposure to thermal decomposition
products produced
irritation, irregular respiration,
tremors, and
increased liver weight. No animal test reports
are available
to define carcinogenic, mutagenic,
developmental,
or reproductive hazards.
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.
