7. Handling and storage

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

For large releases: Use recommended personal protection and evacuate unprotected

personnel. Shut off the leak if without risk. Ventilate the spill area. If possible, dike and

contain spillage. Prevent liquid from entering sewers, sumps or pit areas since vapor

can create a suffocating atmosphere. Capture material for recycle or destruction if

suitable equipment is available.

Handling Avoid causing and inhaling high concentrations of vapor. Atmospheric levels should be

controlled to below the occupational exposure limit and kept as low as practicable. Do

not put mixture of HFC134a with air or oxygen under pressure. Do not use such

mixtures for leak or pressure testing. Avoid HFC134a contact with flame or very hot

surfaces.

Storage Keep at temperature not exceeding 120 °F (49 °C). Keep in a cool, well ventilated

place. Keep containers dry. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat and sources of

ignition.
