HAZARDOUS TO THE AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENT

Acute not classified
Chronic not classified

Signal word：None

Hazard statement
None.

Other hazards
Inhalation of aerosol or fine spray mist may cause serious respiratory problems.
Inhale thermal decomposition products or smoking of contaminated tobacco goods leads after 2 - 6
hours to the so-called "fluorine polymer fever" (= allergic alveolitis with flu-like illness).
Danger of the formation of a pulmonary edema after substantial intoxication by thermal
decomposition products.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

 Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove the affected individual immediately to fresh air.
Call a physician if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.
 Skin Contact:
Wash affected areas with plenty of water and soap for several minutes.
Call a physician if irritation develops.
 Eye Contact:
First rinse eyes with water. Remove any contact lenses, and continue washing with running
water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation develops.
 Ingestion:
If swallowed seek medical immediately and show the doctor packing or label. Give 3-4
glasses of water, but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting continues, give water again. Do
not give anything to an unconscious or convulsing person.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

 Suitable extinguishing media: Use dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray or
carbon dioxide for surrounding fire.
 Unsuitable extinguish media/methods: none
 Hazardous combustion product or gases: This product is non-flammable. However, if
involved in a fire or if overheated (>220deg.C), there is a risk of generation of toxic
degradation products such as: hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, carbon monoxide, and
carbon dioxide. Between 425-450deg.C, toxic particulate with a size of 0.2-0.5μm may be
 Page 3 of 6

X-1537GHS-04
generated by heat degradation. Over 470deg.C, perfluoro isobutylene may be generated by
heat degradation.
 Special protective equipment for fire fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in
confined areas or when exposed to combustion products.

Additional Information: Move container from fire areas if it can be done without risk. Cool
containers with water spray. Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of
in accordance with the local regulations.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Use personal protective clothing
Environmental precautions:
Collect contaminated water/firefighting water separately.
Do not wash away into shower or waterway.
Methods for cleaning up/taking up:
Take up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, general-purpose binder)

Additional information:
Information for safe handling looks up chapter 7.
Information for disposal looks up chapter 13.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Avoid contact with eyes.
Avoid circumstances that release respirable particles.
For spray applications, use a coarse spray device such as trigger sprayer or pressurized dispenser
with particle size production of greater than 15 microns.
Adjust spray pressure to keep particle size greater than 15 microns. DO NOT aerosolize or atomize.
Suitable ventilation must be used during application.
Do not breathe spray. During fumigation/spraying wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Storage
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, and sunlight.
Storage temperature range: 0-40deg.C
If material freezes, gently thaw prior to use. Mild agitation may be required.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Ingredients with occupational exposure limits to be monitored

Ingredient name: Acetic acid

MAK-Values(2013): N/E
ACGIH (2014) TLV-TWA: TLV-TWA: 10ppm, STEL, 15ppm

Exposure controls
occupational exposure controls
Engineering Controls:
Use suitable ventilation to remove spray mists and vapor or fume generated by applications where
the fluoropolymers will be exposed to elevated temperatures.

Personal protection:
 Respiratory protection: An air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge or canister.
Use NIOSH approved respirator where there is likelihood of
inhalation of the product mist.
Acetic acid has TWA, if its concentration is greater than the
exposure limits, use protective equipment.
 Skin protection: Protective gloves
 Eye protection: Chemical goggles

Additional recommendations: An eyewash and safety shower should be nearby and ready for use.
Hands should be washed thoroughly after handling.
