Direct contact with the cold gas or liquid can cause freezing of exposed tissues. Avoid direct inhalation of
undiluted gas. Can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Breathing very high
concentrations can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, unconsciousness or asphyxiation.
Specific Concentration Limits

Halotron-1
(Fire Extinguishing Agent with Expellant)
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Remove from exposure. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Aside from the information found under Description of necessary first aid measures (above) and
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, no additional symptoms and
effects are anticipated.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
In case of frostbite, place the frostbitten part in warm water. If warm water is not available or impractical
to use, wrap the affected parts gently in blankets. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.
The use of catecholamines such as adrenaline, or similar compounds can increase susceptibility to heart
irregularities caused by excessive exposure to these types of compounds.
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Halotron-1 is used as an extinguishing agent and therefore is not a problem when trying to control a fire.
Use extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved. Keep containers and surroundings cool
with water spray as containers may rupture or burst in the heat of a fire. The concentrated agent when
applied to fire can produce toxic by-products specifically hydrogen halides which can cause damage.
Avoid inhalation of these materials by evacuating and ventilating the area.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Containers may explode in heat of fire.
Special Protective Actions for Fire-Fighters
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fire
conditions.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Remove leaking cylinder to a safe place. Ventilate the area. Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
Leaks inside confined spaces may cause suffocation as oxygen is displaced and should not be entered
without a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Manufacturer’s Recommended 1 Hr. Emergency Exposure Limit: 1000ppm (v/v)
