# Potential Health Effects
ANIMAL DATA:
Perfluoroalkylether:
Inhalation 4 hour ALC: 19.54 mg/l in rats
Skin absorption ALD: >17,000 mg/kg in rats
Oral ALD: >25,000 mg/kg in rats
The product contains a mild and a slight eye irritant.
Polytetrafluoroethylene is not a skin irritant in animals. A
single inhalation exposure to perfluoroalkylether caused
nonspecific effects such as respiratory irritation. Toxic
effects described in animals exposed to decomposition
products of the product formed above 260 degC (500 degF)
include lung irritation, irregular respiration, tremors and
increased liver weight. Pulmonary edema and death occurred
in rats exposed to the decomposition products of
perfluoroalkylether formed at around 290 degC (554 degF). A
single inhalation exposure to polytetrafluoroethylene caused
irritation of the lungs in animals. Repeated ingestion
exposures to polytetrafluoroethylene caused no significant
toxicological effects; long-term ingestion exposure caused
altered white blood cell counts.
HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Skin contact may cause skin irritation with discomfort or
rash. Prolonged skin contact may cause redness and
inflammation of the hair follicles without skin
sensitization.
Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort,
tearing or blurring of vision.
Inhalation of fluorine compounds released as decomposition
products at around 290 degC (554 degF) may cause lung
irritation and pulmonary edema which require medical
treatment. Inhalation of burning material or smoke from
cigarettes or tobacco contaminated with this product may
cause polymer fume fever. Polymer fume fever is a flu-like
illness with fever, chills and sometimes cough, which occurs
several hours after exposure and subsides within 24-48 hours
even in the absence of treatment. Polymer fume fever does
not cause permanent injury and the effects are not
cumulative.
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, remove to fresh air. 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
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses
of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare
activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in
400 mL water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 mL/kg, or 350 mL
for an average adult.

wear as appropriate, impervious gloves, apron, pants, and
jacket.
Exposure Guidelines
Applicable Exposure Limits
Polytetrafluoroethylene
PEL (OSHA) : None Established
TLV (ACGIH) : None Established
AEL * (DuPont) : 10 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA, total dust
5 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA, respirable dust
* AEL is DuPont's Acceptable Exposure Limit. Where governmentally
imposed occupational exposure limits which are lower than the AEL
are in effect, such limits shall take precedence.
