Percent: 20%-80%

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

The following first aid recommendations are based on assumption that appropriate personal and
industrial hygiene practices are followed
Inhalation: If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If
signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Skin contact: No need for first aid is anticipated
Ingestion: No need for first aid is anticipated
Protection of first-aiders: No need for first aid is anticipated

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Material will not burn.
Precautions for firefighters: Water may be used to blanket the fire. Exposure to extreme heat can
give rise to thermal decomposition.Wear self-containing breathing
apparatus(SCBA). Wear suitable protective equipment.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Ventilate the area with or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or
fresh air. For large spill, exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice.
Environmental precautions: For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer
systems or bodies of water. Collect the resulting residue containing solution.
Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate
authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
Methods and materials for Observe precautions from other sections. Working from around the edges of the
containment and cleaning spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available
up: inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry.
Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with an
appropriate organic solvent. Seal the container
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Contents may be under pressure, open carefully. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray.
Avoid skin contact with hot material. For industrial or professional use only. No smoking:
Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke
and lead to the formation of the hazardous decomposition products mentioned in the
Reactivity Data section of this MSDS. Store work clothes separately from other clothing,
food and tobacco products. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust
ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits. If
ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Avoid continuous
exposure of the material to extreme conditions of heat, i.e., above 150°C. Avoid exceeding
a watt density of 50 watts/inch2 from a heater surface. Under certain conditions,
continuous exposure to 150°C results in very slight decomposition of this product and
therefore, is a very conservative use temperature threshold. Applications involving
exposure of the fluid to temperatures exceeding 150°C or watt densities exceeding 50
watts/inch2 have been safely implemented.
Storage: Keep container in well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from
heat. Store away from strong bases

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering controls: Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Provide appropriate local
exhaust when product is heated. For those situations where the fluid
might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment
failure, use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to
maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure
guidelines. Provide local exhaust ventilation at transfer points.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray.
Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on
airborne concentration of contaminant and in accordance with OSHA
regulations: Half facepiece or fullface air-purifying respirator with
organic vapor cartridges.
Hand protection: Additional protection: No particular glove type is recommended, but
nitrile may used.
Eye protection: Avoid eye contact. Eye glasses with side shields.
Skin and body protection: Avoid skin contact with hot material. Wear appropriate gloves when
handling this material to prevent thermal burns. Gloves are not
required.
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact
based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult with your glove
and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate
compatible material. Gloves made from the following materials are
recommended: Nitrile Rubber。

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Chemical stability: Stable under proper conditions.
Condition to avoid: No data available
Materials to avoid Strong bases
Hazardous Decomposition or By Products
Substance Hydrogen Fluoride
Condition At Elevated Temperatures – extreme conditions of heat
Substance Perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB)
Condition At Elevated Temperatures – extreme conditions of heat
Hazardous Decomposition: Perfluorinated Acid Fluorides

Hydrogen Fluoride has an ACGIH Threshold Limit Value of 3 parts per million (as fluoride)as a Ceiling
Limit and an OSHA PEL of 3ppm of fluoride as an eight hour Time-Weighted Average and 6 ppm of fluoride as
a Short Term Exposure Limit. The odor threshold for HF is 0.04 ppm, providing good warning properties for
exposure.
Decompostion of this product at temperatures above 300 degrees C can form perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB),
but PFIB will only accumulate with continuous exposure to excessive heat in a sealed vessel. The formation rate
for PFIB is about 1000 times less than the rate for primary thermal decomposition products such as HF. During
normal use conditions, no health hazard is associated with the use of this material due to PFIB exposure.
