4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
In low concentrations may cause narcotic effects. Symptoms
may include dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of co-
ordination.
In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may
include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware
of asphyxiation.
Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained
breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a
doctor.
Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.
Skin/eye contact
In case of frostbite spray with water for at least 15 minutes.
Apply a sterile dressing.
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15
minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing. Drench affected area with
water for at least 15 minutes
Obtain medical assistance

Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards
Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture/explode. Non
flammable.
Hazardous combustion products
If involved in a fire the following toxic and/or corrosive fumes
may be produced by thermal decomposition:
Carbonyl fluoride, Hydrogen fluoride, Carbon monoxide.
Suitable extinguishing media
All known extinguishants can be used.
Specific methods
If possible, stop flow of product. Move container away or cool
with water from a protected position.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically
protective clothing.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
