STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride. Chlorine
trifluoride is a hypergolic oxidiser. It ignites on contact (without external source of
heat or ignition) with recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an
ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition. The
state of subdivision may affect the results.
Avoid strong acids.
Avoid contact with chlorinated rubber.
Segregate from alcohols, glycols, polyhydroxy compounds, phenols and
bromine trifluoride.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Store in an upright position.
Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for
protection against undissolved, dry solids.
路 polychloroprene
路 nitrile rubber

For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved
respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type
respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure
adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants
generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine
the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the
contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min.)
from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)
intermittent container filling, low speed
conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift,
plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that
ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health
of the individual.
Antimony poisoning causes similar symptoms to arsenic poisoning although vomiting is more
prominent. There may be changes in the rhythm of the heart beat. The insoluble salts are
less dangerous.
EYE
Limited evidence or practical experience suggests, that the material may cause eye
irritation in a substantial number of individuals. Prolonged eye contact may cause
inflammation characterised by a temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to
windburn).
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects
may result following absorption.
The material is not thought to be a skin irritant (as classified by EC Directives using
animal models). Abrasive damage however, may result from prolonged exposures. Good
hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be
used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Inhalation of dusts, generated by the material, during the course of normal
handling, may be harmful.
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by EC
Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of dusts, or fumes, especially
for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.
Inhalation of antimony can cause breathing difficulties and gastrointestinal upset
including sore throat, shallow breathing, dizziness, weight loss, gum bleeds and anaemia.
Lung swelling and congestion can occur. Damage can happen to the heart, liver and kidneys
, with heart failure causing death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not
enough data to make an assessment.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e.
pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the
lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to antimony and its compounds may produce inflammation of
the mouth cavity, dry throat, metallic taste, gum infection, perforation of the nasal
septum and throat, laryngitis, headache, difficulty breathing, indigestion, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, anaemia, weight loss, tightness and pain in the
chest, sleeplessness, muscular pain and weakness, dizziness, pharyngitis, bronchitis and
pneumonia. Degenerative changes of the liver and kidney may occur. Chronic exposure to
antimony compounds may result in itchiness, spots and pus blisters around sweat glands.
Workers exposed to antimony can develop obstructive lung disease. Antimony crosses the
placenta and is excreted in breast milk. There may be an increased incidence of

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Antimony exists in the atmosphere in low concentrations. Urban air contains 0.05 to 0.06
ppm of antimony. There are very low concentrations in water due to minimal solubility
Volatilisation from water is not likely. The soil usually contains 0.1 to 10 mg/kg dry
weight. Antimony concentrations in freshwater fish are low, approximately 3 mg/kg wet
weight. [Schumacher].
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
