SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards: Although containers of our product are provided with pressure and
temperature relief devices, containers can rupture if exposed to
localized heat. Thermal decomposition will generate toxic and
corrosive gases.
Flammability Classification: Nonflammable gas
Known or Anticipated
Hazardous Products of
Combustion:
Decomposition by elevated temperatures (fire conditions, glowing
metal surfaces) may generate hazardous decomposition products
common to other CFCs, HCFCs or HBFCs. These can include
hydrogen fluoride (ACGIH TLV = 3 ppm), carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide and others.
