STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chemical Stability
Stable at normal temperatures and storage conditions.
Avoid sources of heat or open flame.
Incompatibility with Other Materials
Incompatible with strong reducing agents such as alkali
metals (e.g., sodium, potassium), alkali-earth metals (e.g.,
magnesium, calcium), and powdered aluminum or zinc.
Decomposition
Decomposes by reaction with high temperature (open flames,
glowing metal surfaces, etc.) forming hydrofluoric acid,
carbonyl fluorides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Polymerization
Polymerization will not occur.

Animal Data
FM-200:
Inhalation 4 hour LC50: > 788,698 ppm in rats
Repeated exposure of rats by inhalation for 4 weeks at
concentrations up to 50,000 ppm revealed no toxicologically
significants effects. The NOEL for this study was 50,000
ppm. A 90-day inhalation study in rats did not find any
exposure related effects at 105,000 ppm. The NOEL for this
study was 105,000 ppm.
Cardiac sensitization, a potentially fatal disturbance of
heart rhythm associated with a heightened sensitivity to the
action of epinephrine, occurred in dogs at 105,000 ppm. The
NOAEL for cardiac sensitization was 90,000 ppm. In a
different study to evaluate cardiac sensitization in dogs,
concentrations of 90,000, 105,000, and 140,000 ppm caused a
dose-related increase in incidence and severity; at 90,000
ppm efffects were minimal or mild in nature.
Inhalation studies in rabbits and rats do not
suggest developmental toxicity at concentrations up to
