Non established
CARCINOGENICITY Ingredient is not listed by IARC, NTP, or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
Section 3 - Health Information
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None expected.
庐
SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TEFLON is relatively non-toxic. The primary health hazard associated
庐
with TEFLON is thermal decomposition by-products from extremely high temperature. Do not use in applications
庐
where the temperature is expected to exceed 500掳 F (260掳 C). If tobacco products are contaminated with TEFLON
then a condition known as 鈥減olymer fume fever鈥? can occur. The effects are reversible.
INHALATION Not likely under normal conditions of use. If using in high temperatures, application where thermal
decomposition is likely, use a local exhaust to remove fumes. If dizziness or irritations occur, seek fresh
air. Heated, fumes may be unpleasant and produce nausea, irritation of the respiratory tract, polymer
fume fever (delay of symptoms of several hours and may pass within 36 to 48 hours), and serious
health affects.
INGESTION Not expected to cause an acute reaction.
EYE Unlikely.
SKIN No reaction expected.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY None.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Remove any contact
lenses to ensure thorough flushing. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.
Skin Contact: If from fumes, wash skin with water and soap if available, for several minutes. Call a physician if
irritation develops or persists.

If heated to high heat temperatures, thermal burns may result from skin contact. Do not try to peel
the solidified material from the skin nor use solvents or thinners to dissolve it.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Call a physician if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.
Ingestion: Not expected to cause an acute reaction. Consult a poison control center or a physician if any illness
symptoms occur.

Flash Point (COC) ......................................Non-Flammable Flammable Limits ..........................LEL = NA UEL = NA
Autoignition temperature..............................NA
Extinguishing Media Use media suitable for surrounding materials. Foam, carbon dioxide, sand, dirt, or dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Protect from Hydrogen Fluoride fumes
that react with water to form hydrofluoric acid. May emit toxic fumes in a fire. If water must be used, use a fog nozzle to
avoid spattering of hot material. Wear organic vapor respirator. Does not burn without an external source of fuel.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Dense smoke and noxious or toxic fumes may be generated in a fire. Fire
fighter should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Will burn in 95% oxygen.
Section 6 鈥? Reactivity Data
Incompatibility (Conditions to Avoid) Alkali metals, interhalogen compounds, sodium potassium alloy, temperatures
over 400掳 F (204掳 C).
庐
Hazardous Decomposition Products If the service temperature exceeds 750掳 F (399掳 C), then TEFLON will
庐
begin to undergo thermal decomposition. At these temperatures, TEFLON can emit acutely toxic vapors. These
vapors can include hydrogen fluoride fumes, hexafluoropropylene, perfluoroisobutylene, and carbonyl fluoride. Fire
decomposition products include the above, plus perfluoroolefing, carbon anoxide and low molecular weight
fluorocarbons.
Is the Product Stable? Yes
Section 7 - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
It may generate Static electrify in stretching, pulling, cutting 鈥? static charges may be a discharge hazard.
Uncontaminated material may be picked up for use. If contaminated, place into a container for disposal. Remove
sources of combustible air contamination.
Waste Disposal Methods
Dispose of in accordance with Local, state, and Federal regulations. Depending upon product condition, it may be
suitable for use. Solid waste landfill is acceptable method of disposal. Burn only if incinerator is capable of scrubbing
out HF and other acidic combustion products.
Section 8 - Exposure Control Information
Storage and Handling
No reasonably foreseen conditions for special storage.
Protect spools against physical damage. Keep container closed to keep product clean. Store in labeled containers, in a
cool, dry area, away from heat, sparks, open flame, and incompatible materials.
