Fluoroelastomer handling
Some “O” rings and seals used in this vehicle
are made from fluoroelastomers. When used
under design conditions, fluoroelastomers do
not require special handling. However, when
fluoroelastomers are heated to temperatures
beyond their design temperature (around 600
degrees Fahrenheit), decomposition may
occur with the formation of hydrofluoric acid.
Hydrofluoric acid can be extremely corrosive to
human tissue if not handled properly.
A degraded seal may appear as a charred or
black sticky mass. Do not touch either the seal
or the surrounding equipment without wearing
neoprene or PVC gloves if degradation is
suspected. Wash parts and equipment with
10% lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) to
neutralize any hydrofluoric acid.
If contact with the skin occurs, wash the
affected areas immediately with water. Then
rub a 2.5 calcium gluconate gel into the skin
until there is no further irritation, while seeking
prompt medical attention.
Note to physicians: For advice or treatment of
HF Burns, call the DuPont Medical Emergency
Number 1-800-441-3637.
Please note this warning and remember -
Always start and operate the engine in a well-
ventilated area;
If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the
outside;
Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust
system.
