MSDS Number: 6092FR 5/15/02 2:08 PM

Potential Health Effects

Gross overexposure by inhalation to HFC-43-10mee may cause
suffocation if air is displaced by vapors and central
nervous system stimulation with increased activity or
sleeplessness, tremors or convulsions. These effects may be
followed by central nervous system depression with
dizziness, confusion, incoordination, drowsiness or
unconsciousness. Based on data from other fluorocarbons,
gross overexposure to HFC-43-10mee may cause irregular heart
beat with a strange sensation in the chest, "heart thumping"
apprehension, lightheadedness, feeling of fainting,
dizziness, weakness, sometimes progressing to loss of
consciousness and death. Intentional misuse or deliberate
inhalation may cause death without warning. Vapor reduces
oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air.
Immediate effects of overexposure to HFC-43-10mee by skin
contact may include slight irritation with itching, redness
or swelling. Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause
defatting of the skin with itching, redness or rash. Based
on animal data, significant skin permeation, and systemic
toxicity after skin contact, appears unlikely. Immediate
effects of overexposure to HFC-43-10mee by eye contact may
include eye irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision.
The major ingestion hazard of HFC-43-10mee is aspiration
(liquid entering the lungs during ingestion or vomiting)
which may result in "chemical pneumonia." Symptoms include
coughing, gasping, choking, shortness of breath, bluish
discoloration of the skin, rapid breathing and heart rate,
and fever. Pulmonary edema or bleeding, drowsiness,
confusion, coma and seizures may occur in more serious
cases. Symptoms may develop immediately or as late as 24
hours after exposure, depending on how much chemical entered
the lungs. Increased susceptibility to the effects of
HFC-43-10mee may be observed in persons with pre-existing
disease of the central nervous system or the cardiovascular
system.

Inhalation of t-DCE may cause central nervous system
depression with dizziness, confusion, incoordination,
drowsiness or unconsciousness; or tremors, nausea, vomiting,
weakness, and abdominal cramps. Other effects may include
irregular heart beat with a strange sensation in the chest,
"heart thumping", apprehension, lightheadedness, feeling of
fainting, dizziness, or weakness. Skin contact with t-DCE
may cause severe irritation with burning, redness, swelling,
pain or rash. Eye contact with t-DCE may cause severe eye
irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision. Ingestion
of t-DCE may cause pulmonary edema (body fluid in the lungs)
with cough, wheezing, abnormal lung sounds, possibly
progressing to severe shortness of breath and bluish
discoloration of the skin: symptoms may be delayed.
Ingestion may also cause pathological changes in the liver,
central nervous system depression with dizziness, confusion,
incoordination, drowsiness or unconsciousness, and
structural (pathological) changes in heart muscle tissue.

Carcinogenicity Information

None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH

as a carcinogen.




FIRST AID MEASURES

First Aid

INHALATION

If inhaled, immediately remove to fresh air. Keep person calm.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

SKIN CONTACT

Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse.

EYE CONTACT

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

INGESTION

Material poses an aspiration hazard. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.

If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce
the risk of aspiration.

Notes to Physicians

THIS MATERIAL MAY MAKE THE HEART MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ARRHYTHMIAS.
Catecholamines such as adrenaline, and other compounds having
similar effects, should be reserved for emergencies and then used
only with special caution.

Fire Fighting Instructions

Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if
drums rupture and contents are spilled under fire
conditions.




ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Safeguards (Personnel)

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.

Initial Containment

Dike spill. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or
low areas.

&bull Spill Clean Up

Immediately evacuate the area and provide maximum
ventilation, especially in low places where heavy vapors
might collect. Unprotected personnel should move upwind of
spill. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and
skin/eye protection should be permitted in area. Soak up
with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material.
After all visible traces, including ignitable vapors, have
been removed, thoroughly wet vacuum the area. Do not flush
to sewer. If area of spill is porous, remove as much
contaminated earth and gravel, etc. as necessary and place
in closed containers for disposal.




HANDLING AND STORAGE


&bull Handling (Personnel)


Page 4 of 10
MSDS Number: 6092FR 5/15/02 2:08 PM

Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.

The use of gloves is recommended when working with the
material containers. Material should not be dispensed from
its container by pouring, except for small sample containers
where fume hoods or where other ventilation is used to
manage the exposure limits. The use of a drum pump is
recommended for dispensing from shipping containers.

Storage

Store in a clean, dry area. Do not allow stored product to
exceed 52 C (125 F) to prevent leakage or potential rupture
of container from pressure and expansion. Protect from
freezing temperatures. If solvent is stored below -10 C
(14 F), mix prior to use.




EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls

Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed.

Vapors are heavier than air posing a hazard of asphyxia if
they are trapped in enclosed or low places.

Personal Protective Equipment

EYE/FACE PROTECTION

Wear safety glasses or coverall chemical splash goggles.

RESPIRATORS

Where there is potential for airborne exposures in excess of
applicable limits, wear NIOSH approved respiratory
protection.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Where there is potential for skin contact have available and
wear as appropriate impervious gloves, apron, pants, and
jacket.

Protective gloves and chemical splash goggles should be used
when handling liquid.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION


&bull Animal Data

HFC-43-10mee
Oral LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg in rats
Dermal ALD: > 5,000 mg/kg in rabbits
Inhalation, 4 hour LC50: 11,100 ppm in rats

t-DCE
Oral LD50: 1275 mg/kg in rats
Dermal LD50: > 5000 mg/kg in rabbits
Inhalation LC50, 4 hr: 24,100 ppm in rats

Animal testing indicates that HFC-43-10mee is a slight skin
irritant and a mild eye irritant, but is not a skin
sensitizer. Single exposure to 5,000 ppm HFC-43-10mee by
inhalation caused tremors. A different single exposure
study by inhalation in rats caused incoordination,
hyperactivity and prostration; pathological examination of
rats from this study revealed kidney and lung changes, and
external hair loss. Repeated exposures to 1,900 - 3,500 ppm
caused tremors or convulsions, behavioral effects, and
altered clinical chemistry. These effects were temporary.
In a different repeated exposure test the
No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) for convulsions was
1000 ppm. Results indicate convulsions is an acute effect
of HFC-43-10mee. The 90-day No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level
(NOAEL) is 500 ppm. In animal testing HFC-43-10mee produced
developmental effects only at exposure levels producing
other toxic effects in the adult animal. No animal data are
available to define the carcinogenic or reproductive hazards
of HFC-43-10mee. Tests have shown that HFC-43-10mee does
not cause genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell
cultures. It has not produced genetic damage in tests on
animals.

t-DCE is a severe eye irritant, and a moderate to severe
skin irritant. Single and repeated exposure to t-DCE by
ingestion caused increased kidney weight, histopathological
changes of the lungs, liver effects, decreased motor
activity, pulmonary edema, cardiovascular system changes,
and mortality. Single and repeated exposure to t-DCE by
inhalation caused pathological changes of the liver and
lungs, inactivity or anaesthesia, altered white blood cell
count, cardiovascular system changes and weak cardiac
sensitization, a potentially fatal disturbance of the heart
rhythm caused by a heightened sensitivity to the action of
epinephrine. Long-term exposure caused altered liver and
lung function. A more recent inhalation study (Dec. 1998)
conducted with well-characterized t-DCE containing > 99.4%
t-DCE, produced no adverse, compound-related effects. The
NOEL was 4000 ppm. Exposure of pregnant rats shows maternal

MSDS Number: 6092FR 5/15/02 2:08 PM

toxicity at 2000, 6000 and 12,000 ppm. Developmental
toxicity was seen only at 12,000 ppm. Tests have shown that
t-DCE does not cause genetic damage in bacterial or
mammalian cell cultures. No animal data are available to
define the carcinogenic or reproductive hazards of t-DCE.
