WARNING
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 600º
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.
