recommendations for safe use:
Do not inhale vapours or aerosols.
Storage
Close properly and store in a cool, dry well-ventilated place. Store in its original
containers. Incompatible products: explosives, flammable materials, organic peroxide.
CONTROL OF EXPOSURE/INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION
Control parameters:
AEL (8-h e 12-h TWA) = 1000 ml/m3 for each of the three components.
Respiratory protection:
For rescue and maintenance work in tanks, use autonomous breathing apparatus. The
vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation, reducing the oxygen available for
breathing.
Protection of the eyes:
Safety goggles.
Protection of the hands:
Rubber gloves.
Hygiene measures:
Do not smoke.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Colour:
Colourless.
Odour:
Similar to ether.
Boiling point:
-43.9°C at atm. press.
Flammability point:
Non flammable.
Relative density:
1.138 kg/l at 25°C.
Solubility in water:
Negligible.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability:
No reactivity if used with the relative instructions.
Materials to avoid:
Alkaline metal, earthy alkaline metals, granulated metals salts, Al, Zn, Be, etc. in powder.
Hazardous decomposition products:
Halogen acids, traces of carbonyl halides.
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity:
(R32) LC50/inhalation/4 hours/lab. rats >760 ml/l
(R125) LC50/inhalation/4 hours/lab. rats >3480 mg/l
(R134a) ALC/inhalation/4 hours/lab. rats = 567 ml/l.
Local effects:
Concentrations substantially above the TLV can cause narcotic effects. Inhalation of
products in decomposition can lead to respiratory difficulty (pulmonary oedema).
Long-term toxicity:
Has not shown any cancerogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic effects in experiments on
animals.
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Global warming potential HGWP (R11=1): R125: 0.84 - R134a: 0.28
Ozone depletion potential ODP (R11=1):
0
CONSIDERATIONS ON DISPOSAL
Usable with reconditioning.
