3. Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
No significant hazards exist for the product in the as supplied condition.
Exposure to thermal decomposition products evolved from heating above 400oC/752oF or cigarettes that have been
contaminated with Kalrez庐 may cause polymer fume fever with influenza-like symptoms. These symptoms do not
ordinarily occur until several hours after exposure and pass within 24-48 hours.
At temperatures above 400oC/752oF fluorocarbon products, including small amounts of hydrogen fluoride may be
evolved
For short and long term exposure effects see Section 11 Toxicological data
Eye Effects: Not a hazard
Skin Effects: Not a hazard

Other Information:
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Not fire hazard.
Kalrez庐 will not support combustion. Hazardous decomposition products : carbon
Fire and Explosion Hazard:
monoxide, carbon dioxide and small amounts of hydrogen fluoride are evolved at
temperatures above 400oC/752oF
Special Protective Equipment Fire fighters should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) which
for Fire Fighters: meets appropriate standards operated in positive pressure mode and full turn out
gear.
For Flammability Properties - see Section 9
6. Accidental Release Measures
