INGESTION:
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. IRRITATING TO THE MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH.
INHALATION:
INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND MAY CAUSE HEART
IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DELIBERATE
INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT WARNING.

AND CLOSE. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER.
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT:
AVOID BREATHING VAPORS OR MIST. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID
REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN OR CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY
AFTER HANDLING.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
DO NOT STORE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. STORE IN COOL DRY PLACE, AWAY FROM HEAT,
SPARKS OR FLAMES WHICH MAY GENERATE TOXIC DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS. VAPORS
ARE HEAVY AND MAY CONCENTRATE IN LOW POORLY VENTILATED AREAS. KEEP AWAY
FROM CHILDREN.
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. USE
APPROVED NIOSH SELF-CONTAINED OR SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORS FOR EMERGENCIES
AND IN SITUATIONS WHERE AIR MAY BE DISPLACED BY VAPORS.
EYE PROTECTION: USE CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE SAFETY GLASSES.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SKIN CONTACT, USE APPROPRIATE IMPERVIOUS
GLOVES, APRON, PANTS AND JACKET.

| SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS:
THIS MATERIAL IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING.
1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-DECAFLUOROPENTANE:
ORAL LD50: >5,000 MG/KG IN RATS.
DERMAL LD: >5,000 MG/KG IN RABBITS.
INHALATION, 4 HOUR LC50: 11,100 PPM IN RATS.
ANIMAL TESTING INDICATES THAT 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-DECAFLUOROPENTANE IS A
SLIGHT SKIN IRRITANT AND A MILD EYE IRRITANT, BUT IS NOT A SKIN SENSITIZER.
SINGLE EXPOSURE TO 5,000 PPM BY INHALATION CAUSED TREMORS. NO CARDIAC
SENSITIZATION WAS OBSERVED. A DIFFERENT SINGLE EXPOSURE STUDY BY INHALATION
IN RATS CAUSED INCOORDINATION, HYPERACTIVITY AND PROSTRATION; PATHOLOGICAL
EXAMINATION OF RATS FROM THIS STUDY REVEALED KIDNEY AND LUNG CHANGES AND
EXTERNAL HAIR LOSS. REPEATED EXPOSURES TO 1,900-3,500 PPM CAUSED TREMORS
OR CONVULSIONS, BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS, AND ALTERED CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. THESE
EFFECTS WERE TEMPORARY. IN A DIFFERENT REPEATED EXPOSURE TEST THE NO
OBSERVED ADVERSE EFFECT LEVEL (NOAEL) FOR CONVULSIONS WAS 1,000 PPM.
RESULTS INDICATE CONVULSIONS IS AN ACUTE EFFECT OF
1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-DECAFLUOROPENTANE. THE 90 DAY NOAEL IS 500 PPM. IN
ANIMAL TESTING THIS MATERIAL PRODUCED DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS ONLY AT
EXPOSURE LEVELS PRODUCING OTHER TOXIC EFFECT IN THE ADULT ANIMAL. NO ANIMAL
DATA ARE AVAILABLE TO DEFINE THE CARCINOGENIC OR REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS OF
THIS MATERIAL. TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-DECAFLUOROPENTANE
DOES NOT CAUSE GENETIC DAMAGE IN BACTERIAL OR MAMMALIAN CELL CULTURES.
IT HAS NOT PRODUCED GENETIC DAMAGE IN TESTS ON ANIMALS.
TRANS, 1,2-DICHLOROETHYLENE (T-DCE):
A SEVERE EYE IRRITANT AND A MODERATE TO SEVERE SKIN IRRITANT. SINGLE
AND REPEATED EXPOSURE BY INGESTION CAUSED INCREASED KIDNEY WEIGHT,
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE LUNGS, LIVER EFFECTS, DECREASED MOTOR
ACTIVITY, PULMONARY EDEMA, CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM CHANGES, AND MORTALITY.
SINGLE AND REPEATED EXPOSURE TO T-DCE BY INHALATION CAUSED PATHOLOGICAL
CHANGES OF THE LIVER AND LUNGS, INACTIVITY/ANAESTHESIA, ALTERED WHITE BLOOD
CELL COUNT, CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM CHANGES AND WEAK CARDIAC SENSITIZATION, A
POTENTIALLY FATAL DISTURBANCE OF THE HEART RHYTHM CAUSED BY HEIGHTENED
SENSITIVITY TO THE ACTION OF EPINEPHRINE. LONG TERM EXPOSURE CAUSED ALTERED
LIVER AND LUNG FUNCTIONS. A DEC. 1998 INHALATION STUDY CONDUCTED WITH 99.45
PURE T-DCE PRODUCED NO ADVERSE, COMPOUND RELATED EFFECTS. THE NOEL WAS
4,000 PPM. EXPOSURE OF PREGNANT RATS SHOWS MATERNAL TOXICITY AT 2,000,
6,000 & 12,000 PPM. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY WAS SEEN ONLY AT 12,000 PPM.
TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT T-DCE DOES NOT CAUSE GENETIC DAMAGE IN BACTERIAL
OR MAMMALIAN CELL CULTURES. NO ANIMAL DATA ARE AVAILABLE TO DEFINE THE
CARCINOGENIC OR REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS OF T-DCE. 1,1,1,3,3,PENTAFLUOROBUTANE:
NO FEDERAL OSHA PEL (29 CFR 1919.1000) OR ACGIH TLV VALUES ARE ESTABLISHED
FOR THIS CHEMICAL. THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS MATERIAL (SOLVAY) HAS
ESTABLISHED AN AEL AS AN 8 HOUR & 12 HOUR TWA OF 500 PPM. WHERE
GOVERNMENTALLY IMPOSED OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS WHICH ARE LOWER THAN
THE ABOVE AEL ARE IN EFFECT, SUCH LIMITS SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE.
