Section 3 Fire and Explosion Hazard Data:
Flash Point: none
Flammable Limits:
LFL: NA
UFL: NA
Auto ignition Temperature: Not Determined
Hazardous Products of Combustion: NFPA health hazard rating of "3" assigned due to toxicity of
thermal decompsition products, fluorine (HF), otherwise the material itself warrants a health hazard
rating of "1".
Hazardous Products of Combustion: Decomposition at high temperatures (>200°C) yields hydrogen
fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, and other acid fluorides.
Extinguishing Media: not a fire hazard.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Water or foam may cause frothing. Use water to keep fire exposed container
cool. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposure. For fires in enclosed areas,
firefighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution
from entering streams or drinking water supply.
