SECTION 5:  Reactivity Hazard Data

Stability:  Stable
Conditions to Avoid:  Excessive heat; direct flame
Incompatability (Materials to Avoid):  Strong oxidants; re: liquid chlorine or concentrated oxygen
Hazardous Decomposition Products:  CO2 trace quantities of fluorides decomposition product above 500º F
Hazardous Polymerization:  Will not occur

 
SECTION 6:  Health Hazard Data

Primary Routes of Entry:  Inhalation - Skin - Ingestion
Health Hazards: 
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:  Prolonged and repeated over-exposure may irritat the skin of some individuals.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:  See below
Eye Contact:  Wash with copious amounts of water
Skin Contact:  Remove by wiping and wash with soap and water
Inhalation:  Expose to fresh air
Ingestion:  Treat symptomatically

EYE:  May cause mild (transient) irritation
SKIN:  Repeated and/or prolonged contact may cause irritation.  Based on studies of similar materials, this product would not be expected to be a dermal sensitizer
INHALATION:  Inhalation is not expected to be a problem due to its low volatility.  Vapors or mists produced by heating will cause irritation

Emergency and First Air Procedures:

EYE Contact:  Flush with large amounts of water
SKIN Contact:  Wipe material from skin.  Wash skin with soap and water
INHALATION:  Remove from exposure
INGESTION:  Do not induce vomiting (possible aspiration hazard).  Immediately seek medical aid.

 
SECTION 7:  Control and Protective Measures

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type):  None required at ambient temperatures
Protective Gloves:  Butyl Rubber
Eye Protection:  Safety goggles
Ventilation to be Used:  Local exhaust preferred; usually no general (mechanical) ventilation
Other Protective Clothing and Equipment:  When applicable
Hygienic Work Practices:  As indicated above in "Other Precautions"

 
SECTION 8:  Precautions for Safe Handling and Use Leak Procedures 

Steps to be Taken if Material is Spilled or Released:  Absorb with porous inert material - transfer to closed container.  Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falls.
Waste Disposal Methods:  Sealed drum containment as per organic chemicals.  Follow federal, state and local regulations regarding health and pollution.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage:  Keep containers closed when not in use.  Avoid excessive heat or direct flame. 
Other Precautions and/or Special Hazards:  Avoid frequent or prolonged skin contact or inhalation of fumes, mists and vapors.
