Generic protection:
Safety shoes should be worn when handling containers
EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear
Respiratory protection
Under-oxygenated environments, a breathing apparatus or mask breathing air supply system must
be used.
EN 137 - Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing
apparatus with full face mask.
Hygiene measures: Don’t smoke.
7.2.1. Environmental exposure controls

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
8.1. Basic information about the Physical and Chemical properties
Aspet: Physical state at 20°C / 101.3kPa: Colorless liquefied gas.
Odor: Similar to ether.
Olfactory threshold: The olfactory threshold is subjective and inadequate to warn of overexposure.
Melting point -101°C
Boiling point: -26.5°C
Ignition point: Not flammable
Critical temperature [°C] 101°C
Relative density, gas (air = 1): 3,6
Water solubility: 1930 mg/l
8.2. Other information
Gas/vapor more heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below
ground level.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: No reactivity if used with the appropriate instructions.
Incompatible materials:
Humidity.
Refer to ISO 11114 standard for further information on material compatibility.
Hazardous decomposition products: Halogen acids, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide, fluorocarbons, carbonyl halides.
Dangerous reactions:
The product is not flammable in contact with air under normal conditions of temperature and
pressure. Under pressure with air or oxygen, the mixture can become flammable. Some mixtures
of HCFC or HFC and chlorine may become flammable or reactive under certain conditions.
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity:
LC50 / inhalation / 4 hours / on rat> 567000 ppm / 4h
EC50 48h - Daphnia magna> 930 mg/l
LC50 96h - Fish> 450 mg / l
No known effect of this product.
Local effects:
Concentrations substantially above the TLV (1000 ppm) value may cause narcotic effects.
Inhalation of decomposition products in high concentration may cause shortness of breath (lung
oedema)
Long-term toxicity:
Did not show carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic effects on animal experiments. Can cause
cardiac arrhythmia.
Limit threshold for cardiac sensitivity: 312975 mg/m3. Limit threshold for anesthetic effects: 834600
mg/m3
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Not easily biodegradable.
Not considered susceptible to bioaccumulation due to a low log Kow (log Kow <4).
Because of its high volatility, the product is unlikely to cause soil and groundwater pollution.
Not classified as PBT or vPvB.
9.1. Other adverse effects
Effects on the ozone layer Any
Global Warming Potential
GWP (CO2=1):
1430
Effects on global warming
If discharged in large quantities it can contribute to the greenhouse effect
It contains fluorinated greenhouse gases regulated by the Kyoto protocol
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
10.1. Waste treatment methods
Refer to the supplier gas recovery program.
Avoid direct discharge into the atmosphere.
Do not discharge where the accumulation can be dangerous.
Make sure that the emission limits set by local regulations or indicated in the authorizations are not
exceeded.
