General Advice: Seek fresh air, medical attention, and decontamination based on route of exposure
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms develop, including coughing, difficulty breathing, or sore throat
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention for irritation or persistent redness
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with water for several minutes, lifting eyelids. Contact poison control or a physician if pain, redness, or blurred vision persist
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a medical professional. Rinse mouth; consult a doctor if any discomfort, nausea, or abdominal pain develops. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide. Do not use a direct water stream as it may spread fire
Specific Hazards: Emits toxic fumes of fluorine, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides under combustion; may produce corrosive or irritating gases
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool unopened containers with water spray. Fight fire from a safe distance and shelter from any potential fragments or hazardous runoff. Avoid inhaling combustion fumes, even after fire has been controlled
Personal Precautions: Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection against vapors or mists
Environmental Precautions: Prevent liquid from entering drains, waterways, or soil. Contain spill with sand, earth, or other inert material
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with dry, non-combustible, inert material (e.g., sand, diatomaceous earth). Scoop or sweep into suitable, labeled waste container. Wash spill area with large amounts of water while keeping runoff contained and monitored for hazardous chemicals
Safe Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevent aerosol or vapor formation
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed original container, in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sunlight, and incompatible substances including strong oxidizers and strong acids. Protect from moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidants, acids, bases, reducing agents, moisture-sensitive materials
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits (check updates with local authority or regulatory database)
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation. Maintain eyewash station and emergency shower nearby
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles, lab coat, and, if significant vapor or aerosol expected, approved respirator with suitable filter
Hygiene Measures: Change contaminated clothing; wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and use conditions
Reactivity: No hazardous reactivity expected under normal conditions
Decomposition Products: Fumes containing fluorine compounds, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to heat, sparks, flame, strong acids, and strong oxidizing agents increases risk of hazardous decomposition
Polymerization: Will not occur under safe handling
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (Oral, rat): 350-1000 mg/kg; harmful if swallowed
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes moderate irritation to skin on contact; prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes severe eye irritation, redness, pain
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: Data lacking; avoid repeated or prolonged exposure to prevent sensitization
