Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If

signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Get immediate medical attention. Immediately flush eyes with

large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water. If signs/symptoms

develop, get medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Get immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting

unless instructed to do so by medical personnel. Give victim

two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an

unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Non-combustible. Choose material suitable for surrounding

fire.

Product arising from burning: Carbon monoxide. Carbondioxide. Hydrogen fluoride. Toxic

Vapor, Gas, Particulates.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-

contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing

apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist

and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed

areas of the head.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Ventilate the area with fresh air.

Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Use wet

sweeping compound or water to avoid dusting. Sweep up.

Clean up residue. Place in a closed container approved for

transportation by appropriate authorities.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid eye contact.

The following should be worn alone or in combination, as

appropriate, to prevent eye contact : Indirect Vented

Goggles.

Avoid skin contact.

The following glove material(s) are recommended : neoprene,

nitrile rubber.

Avoid breathing of dust.

Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation at

transferpoints and when product is heated.Use general

dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to

control airborne exposures.If ventilation is not adequate,

use respiratory equipment.

Select one of the following approved respirators based on

airborne concentration of the coontaminants and in

accordance with regulations : Half facepiece or fullface

air-purifying respirator with N95 particulate prefilters.

Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is

a potential for exposure from an uncontrolled release,

exposure levels are not known, or under any other

circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not

provide adequate protection.

Wash hands after handling and before eating. Do not eat,

drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas

thoroughly with soap and water.

Storage: Store away from heat. Store away from areas where product

may come into contact with food or pharmaceuticals.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Substance :

Polyethylene bag inside a drum coated with an epoxy

material.

Preparations :

12.5 kg polyethylene (HDPE) bags as such or additionally

packed in cardboard boxes (2 x 12.5 kg) or in returnable

HDPE palletboxes (48 x 12.5 kg)

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance can be recovered by re-using eventual non-

conformal material (fluorolastomer).

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: We expect that both the anion and cation would bind fairly

strongly to solids in wastewater and that after binding,

these now insoluble particles will precipitate out.

We think that they would be removed when the sludge is

wasted.

So, we think that possible toxicity will be mitigated

through removal.

A soil adsorption/desorption study (planned for completion

of the VIIA dossier) on this substance will confirm or

reject this hypothesis.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Cured fluoroelastomer compounds can be landfilled. (650)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Pure substance and non-cured fluorochemical compounds should

be incinerated in halogen specific incinerators (664). The

combustion product will include HF.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.
