CHEMICAL C.A.S. Number Weight %

1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane 811-97-2 100

OSHA HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS (29 CFR 1910.1200):

Exposure Limits 8 Hours TWA (PPM)

OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV SUPPLIER

1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane NIF 1000

Section 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview:

Potential Health Effects:

INHALATION: Major potential route of exposure. Minimal effects observed 
below 1,000 ppm. Dizziness, drowsiness, and throat irritation possible at 
levels above 1,000 ppm.

Unconsciousness and death at levels above 10,000 ppm. Blood pressure
depression,

Cardiac sensitization, and ventricular arrhythmia can result from exposure
to near-anesthetic levels.

EYES: Liquid can cause slight, temporary irritation with slight, temporary
corneal injury.

Vapors can irritate eyes.

SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact with liquid can cause freezing of 
skin tissues, defatting and dermatitis.

INGESTION: Single dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting occurs the
liquid can be aspirated into the lungs, which can cause chemical pneumonia
and systemic effects. Human psychotropic, gastrointestinal and central
nervous system effects possible.

Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors. If victim
has stopped breathing, give artificial respiration. Call for prompt medical 
attention

Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes or until
irritation subsides.

If irritation persists, get medical attention

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing (including shoes) and wash 
before reuse. Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. If 
irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician. If 
conscious and alert, give two glasses of water. Seek medical attention
immediately.

Section 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point & Method: None, TCC Method

Flammable Limits: LEL: NA UEL: NA

Autoignition Temperature: >750 ºC (>1,382 ºF)

GENERAL HAZARD: Aerosol cans may erupt with force at temperatures
above 120 degrees F.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Fire fighters should wear self contained,
positive-pressure breathing. Apparatus and avoid skin contact.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, fumes and oxides
of carbon.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

LAND SPILL: Evacuate area. Ventilate area well and avoid breathing 
vapors. Vapor concentration will be highest along floor and in low-lying
areas. Pick up liquid on suitable absorbent and store in sealed containers.

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Ambient

STORAGE PRESSURE: Atmospheric

GENERAL: Keep container closed when not in use. Store in cool, well 
ventilated place out of direct sunlight and away from incompatible materials.
 (See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Section 10.) Follow all MSD Sheet and
Label warnings even after container is empty.

Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls: (X) Local Exhaust ventilation acceptable.

( ) Mechanical ventilation recommended.

( ) Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

( ) Do not use in confined spaces without mechanical ventilation equipment.

See Section 2 for component exposure guidelines.

Personal Protection:

RESPIRATOR: If concentrations are over the exposure limit and are
known, air purifying Respirator with Organic Vapor Cartridges may be
acceptable. Refer to cartridges for acceptable levels. If concentrations
are over exposure limit and are unknown, use a supplied air respirator.

HAND PROTECTION: ( ) Gloves recommended

( ) Solvex ( ) Neoprene

( ) Butyl ( ) Buna

( ) Natural Latex ( ) Cotton/Jersey

EYE PROTECTION: (X) Safety Glasses ( ) Chemical Goggles 
( ) Full Face Shield

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:

( ) Rubber Boots ( ) Splash-proof chemical resistant suit/apron
