PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Colour:
Colourless.
Odour:
Faint.
Boiling point:
-52.8°C at atmospheric pressure.
Flash point:
Non-flammable.
Relative density:
1.08 kg/l at 25°C.
Solubility in water:
Negligible.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability:
No reactivity if used in compliance with instructions.
Materials to avoid:
Highly oxidising materials. Incompatible with magnesium, zinc, sodium, potassium and
aluminium.
Incompatibility is more critical if the metal is present in the form of powder or if surfaces
have been recently unprotected.
Hazardous decomposition
products:
These products are halogen compounds, hydrofluoric acid, carbon monoxides (CO,
CO2), 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
Local effects:
Concentrations significantly above the TLV can cause narcotic effects.
Inhalation of products in decomposition can lead to respiratory difficulty (pulmonary
oedema).
Long-term toxicity:
No carcinogenic, teratogenic, or mutagenic effects observed in laboratory animals.
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Considerations on disposal:
Usable with reconditioning.
