Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing
apparatus; goggles; rubber gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation causing dizziness, MUM,
vomiting; liver and kidney injury may develop after several hours and cause jaundice and necrosis of
the kidney; General Treatment for Exposure: Call a physician after all exposures to this compound; it
is more toxic then most oh the closely related propellant gases. INHALATION: remove victim to fresh
air; enforce bed rest; administer oxygen for 30 min. of very hour oh 6 hours, even if no symptoms
appear. SKIN: if frostbite has occurred, apply warm and tread burn; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold
Limit Value): 20 .ppm (suggested); Short-Term Exposure Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by
Ingestion: Not pertinent (TFC is a gas at normal temperatures); he Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor

available; Odor Threshold Data not available.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point : Not pertinent; this is a gas; Flammable Limits in Air (%): 16 - 34; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Let fire burn; stop the flow of gas; cool containers with water; Fire
Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used: Not pertinent; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic
hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride gases are formed; Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air
and can travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and fish back; Ignition Tenpermre : No
data; Electrical Hazard: Not pertinent; Burning Rate: Not pertinent.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No
reactions; stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent;
