Material Safety Data Sheet Dust-Off Freeze Spray #DEFS 1. Chemical Product and Company Identification Product Name: Dust-Off Freeze Spray; # DEFS. Chemical Family: Halogenated Hydrocarbon Formula: CH2FCF3 Packaged By: Micro Care Corporation Address: 595 John Downey Drive New Britain, CT 06051 USA CAGE/FSCM: OATV9 Product Manufacturer: Falcon Safety Products, Inc. Address: 25 Imclone Drive Branchburg, NJ 08876 Phone: 1-908-707-4900 Emergency Telephone: (800) 498-7192 2. Composition/Information on Ingredients Chemical Name Wt.%Range TLV Units Tetrafluoroethane 99.0 1000 ppm CAS #811-97-2 All components of this material are listed on the TSCA inventory. 3. Hazard Identification Emergency Overview: Clear colorless liquefied gas. Nonflammable. Liquid acts as a refrigerant and exposure of unprotected skin to liquid can cause frostbite. Keep away from children. Potential Health Effects Eyes: Vapor contact: May irritate and cause pain and watering. Liquid contact: Direct contact may irritate seriously with risk of frostbite. Persons wearing contact lenses should wear chemical protective safety glasses when using this product. Skin: Contact can cause frostbite. Ingestion: Not considered a potential route of exposure due to the volatile nature of material. Contact with liquid can cause frostbite to mouth and throat tissues. Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapors is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Intentional misuse or deliberate inhalation may cause death without warning. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting disease of the central nervous or cardiovascular system may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. 4. First Aid Measures Eyes: Immediately flush with water. Remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally until no evidence of the chemical remains. If irritation develops or persists call a physician. Skin: Wash promptly with soap and warm water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If irritation develops or persists call a physician. Ingestion: Not considered a potential route of exposure. Treat for possible frostbite. Swallowing less than an ounce of material is unlikely to cause significant harm. For larger amounts, do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a doctor. Note to Attending Physician: There is no specific antidote to overexposure. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Immediate medical attention for acute overexposure is required. Material Safety Data Sheet Dust-Off Freeze Spray #DEFS 5. Firefighting Measures Flash Point: Will not burn. Autoignition Temperature: > 750o C Flammable Limits in Air: LEL/UEL: Not Applicable. Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, "alcohol" foam, CO2 or water. Special Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate personnel. Wear self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment. Keep containers cool. Containers build pressure under fire conditions causing violent bursting and dangerous propelling of container. 6. Accidental Release Measures Spill or Leak: Although the chances of a large spill or leak is unlikely in aerosol containers, in the event of such an occurrence, evacuate area. Protected personnel should remove ignition sources and shut off fire sources. Provide ventilation. 7. Handling and Storage Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Keep containers closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. 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. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Respiratory Protection: Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container 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. Exposure Guidelines: Applicable Exposure Limits. Tetrafluoroethane: PEL (OSHA) none established TLV (ACGIH) none established AEL (DuPont) 1000 ppm, 8 & 12 hour TWA WEEL (AIHA) 1000 ppm, 8 hour TWA NFPA, NPCA-HIMIS RATING: Health 1 Flammability 0 Reactivity 1 Personal Protection rating to be supplied by user depending on use conditions. 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical Form: Liquefied Gas Odor: Slight Ethereal Boiling Point: -26.5o C / -15.7o F pH: Not Applicable Solubility in Water: 0.15 wt.% @ 25oC (77oF) @ 14.7 psia. Specific Gravity: 1.208 @ 25o C / 77o F % Volatile by Weight: 100 Vapor Pressure: 96 psia @ 25o C / 77o F Vapor Density (air=1): 3.6 @ 25o C / 77o F 10. Reactivity Chemical Stability: Material is stable. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Incompatibilities: Avoid oxidizing materials which can cause a reaction. Decomposition Products: High temperatures (open flames, glowing metal surfaces, etc.) will decompose this material forming hydrofluoric acid and possibly carbonyl fluoride.
