Section 3 ¾ Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
WARNING!
Liquid and gas under pressure, overheating and over pressurizing may cause gas release or rupturing of container. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air. Harmful if inhaled and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. As with most liquefied gases, contact with rapidly volatizing liquid or cold vapor can cause frostbite to any tissue. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract and may result in central nervous system effects such as headache, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, and in severe exposure, loss of consciousness and death. The dense vapor of this material may reduce the available oxygen for breathing and produce symptoms such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, cyanosis and lack of muscle control followed by collapse. Prolonged exposure to an oxygen-deficient atmosphere may be fatal. Inhalation of this material may cause an increase in the sensitivity of the heart too adrenaline, which could result in irregular or rapid heartbeats and reduced heart function.
Section 4 ¾ First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention. Do not give adrenaline, epinephrine or similar drugs following exposure to this product.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush exposed skin with lukewarm water (not hot), or use other means to warm skin slowly. Get medical attention if frostbitten by liquid or if irritation occurs.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water and get medical attention after flushing.
Section 5 ¾ Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Nonflammable LEL: NA UEL: NA
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire conditions.
SPECIAL EXPOSURE HAZARDS: Do not expose to temperatures over 120°F. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Containers may rupture when exposed to extreme heat. During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing equipment.
HMIS CLASSIFICATION:HEALTH 1, FLAMMABILITY 0, REACTIVITY 1
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES: Avoid inhalation. Use good ventilation. Read entire label before using and follow all label directions.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONARY PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING/ABSORPTION: Evacuate enclosed spaces and disperse gas with floor-level forced–air ventilation. Exhaust vapors outdoors. Remove flames and heating elements.
HANDLING: Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat sparks, and open flame. Contents under pressure. Do not puncture, incinerate, or expose to temperatures above 120°F. Heat from sunlight, radiators, stoves, hot water, and other heat sources could cause container to burst. Do not take internally.
Do not store where temperatures may exceed 120°F (48.9°C).
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local Exhaust preferable. General exhaust acceptable if the exposure to materials in Section 2 is maintained below applicable exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If personal exposure cannot be controlled to below applicable limits by ventilation, wear a properly fitted organic vapor/particulate respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection against materials in Section 2.
GLOVES: None required for aerosol products where a minimal skin contact is expected. For long or repeated contact wear chemical resistant gloves.
SKIN PROTECTION: Impervious clothes to protect skin. Wash promptly when skin becomes contaminated.
EYES: Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles.
OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTION DATA: Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands after using.

HFC 134A
No allergic skin response was observed in guinea pig following repeated skin exposure to this material. Inhalation of very high concentrations (generally exceeding 50000 ppm) produces a rapid anesthetic effect in mice, dogs, cats, and monkeys. No toxic effects were observed in rats exposed 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for 13 weeks to this material with concentrations up to 50000 ppm. No toxic effects and no tumors were observed in an oral dose study of rats given corn oil solutions of this material at 300 mg/kg/day for 1-year followed by lifetime observation. Long-term inhalation (2 year) of high concentrations (50000 ppm) caused an increase in benign tumors of testes in rats. This material was negative in the mouse dominant lethal assay. No birth defects were noted in rats and rabbits exposed to this material by inhalation during pregnancy. This material produced no genetic changes in standard tests using animals (in vivo tests) and animal or bacterial cells. Metabolism studies in rats exposed by oral and inhalation routes show that this material is not metabolized or accumulated in the body to any significant extent and are rapidly eliminated in the exhaled air. Single exposure (acute) studies indicate:
Inhalation: Practically non-toxic to Rats (4-hr LC50>500,000 ppm; 30-min LC50~750,000 ppm)
Eye Irritation: Slightly irritating to Rabbits
Skin Irritation: Slightly irritating to rabbits (24-hr exposure)
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION: No data available
Section 13 ¾ Disposal ConsiderationsDISPOSAL OF WASTE METHOD: Do not incinerate. Depressurize container. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulations regarding pollution.
