EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes (in case of frostbite
water should be lukewarm, not hot) lifting eyelids occasionally to facilitate irrigation. Get medical attention if
symptoms persist.
INHALATION: Immediately remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Use
oxygen as required, provided a qualified operator is available. Get medical attention. Do not give epinephrine
(adrenaline).
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the physical properties and is not expected to be hazardous.
In case of accidental ingestion, get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a
physician.
ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: Because of the possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs,
such as epinephrine, should be used with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support. Treatment
of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical conditions.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
FLASH POINT: No flash point
FLASH POINT METHOD: Not applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: not determined
UPPER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): None*
LOWER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): None*
FLAME PROPAGATION RATE (solids): Not applicable
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: Not applicable
*Based on ASHRAE Standard 34 with match ignition
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use any standard agent – choose the one most appropriate for type of surrounding fire (material itself is not
flammable)
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Cylinders may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur.
R-404A is not flammable in air at temperatures up to 100° C (212° F) at atmospheric pressure. However, this
material will become combustible when mixed with air at elevated pressure and/or temperature in the presence of an
ignition sources. R-404A can also become combustible in an oxygen enriched environment. Contact with certain
reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic reactions under specific conditions (e.g. very
high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
In the event of fire, firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for protection
against possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed cylinders/tanks cool.
