SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Flash Point/Method: None Autoignition Temp: Not determined
Flammability Limits in Air - LEL: N/A UEL: N/A

Extinguishing Media: Non-flammable. Use agent appropriate for surrounding
fire.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear SCBA if there is danger of
leakage

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Thermal decomposition products
are toxic and corrosive. See Section V.

============================================================================
SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA

Unstable [ ] Conditions to Avoid: N/A
Stable [X]

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Reacts with active metals like sodium
and potassium, amines (including additives), liquid fluorine and liquid
chlorine trifluoride. Caution should be used with aluminum and magnesium
under conditions of large shear forces such as those found in threaded
connections.

Hazardous Decomposition or By-products: The decomposition to toxic, non­sludge forming volatiles occurs rapidly at 325C, noticeably at 300C and in
lesser amounts at lower temperatures. Therefore, the maximum safe operat­ing temperature recommended is 200C and maximum short-term temperature
recommended is 260C in scrupulously clean systems.

Hazardous Polymerization [ ] May Occur [X] Will Not Occur
Conditions To Avoid: N/A

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Halocarbon 0.8 oil produced no deaths among 10 rats upon an 8 hr. exposure
to 2650 ppm (34.3 mg/L) during a 1999 study and is considered by OSHA
definition to be nontoxic. The animals showed no signs of treatment during
exposure or 14 days afterward. All animals gained weight during the 14 day
observation period. Autopsy showed no macroscopic abnormalities.

In a 4 hour exposure among rats conducted in 1989, Halocarbon 0.8 oil was
found to have a LC50 of 4.6 mg/L. This result placed it into EPA Toxicity
Category III (Slightly Toxic). The animals generally showed no response
during exposure or for at least one day after exposure. Signs of toxicity
including tremors, nasal discharge and labored breathing began appearing two
or three days after exposure. The responses generally abated in surviving
animals during the second week after exposure.

More extensive toxicity studies have been conducted on a slightly heavier
Halocarbon oil (3.1). Based on all the available data in three species of
animals, limited exposure to Halocarbon oil should not be harmful to any
portion of the human anatomy. Studies conducted by the Air Force have
demonstrated liver toxicity in rodents, but not in primates. The observed
liver toxicity is believed to be specific for rodents and not relevant to
humans. Halocarbon oil is not irritating to skin but skin protection
should be used to prevent repeated exposure and the possibility of sensiti­zation. All mutagenicity studies were negative.

Since the potential for human toxicity cannot be ruled out, proper
ventilation and work practices should be employed.

Primary routes of entry: [X] Inhalation [X] Skin [ ] Eyes [ ] Oral

Acute Effects of Overexposure: From animal studies, signs of fluoride
poisoning may be expected. These include nausea, shortness of breath and
loss of appetite.

Chronic Effects of overexposure: Unknown

Carcinogenicity listing: [No ] NTP [No ] IARC [No ] OSHA
[No ] Other:

First Aid

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if needed.
Seek medical help
Skin: Wash with soap and water.
Eye: Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes.
Seek medical help.
Oral: Try to induce vomiting. Seek medical help.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known

Other Health Hazards: None known.

============================================================================
SECTION VII - PROTECTION INFORMATION

Respiratory: None normally required. For large spills wear SCBA.

Ventilation: Adequate general ventilation plus local exhaust at points
of emission.

Eye and Face: Safety glasses/goggles or face shield.

Gloves: Impervious gloves.

Other equipment: None normally required.
============================================================================
SECTION VIII - SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

Spill, Leak or Release: Spills may be picked up with absorbent such as
vermiculite and held in covered container for disposal.

Waste Disposal: May be incinerated by licensed waste disposal company.
Observe all federal, state and local regulations.
