COLOURLESS VOLATILE LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and
ODOUR. by ingestion.
Physical dangers Inhalation risk
The vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in low ceiling On loss of containment this liquid evaporates very quickly

TLV: 1000 ppm as TWA; 1250 ppm as STEL; A4 (not classifiable Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
as a human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: 500 ppm, 3900 mg/m 3; Peak limitation category: II(2);
Pregnancy risk group: D; (DFG 2006).
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling point: 48/C Relative vapour density (air = 1): 6.5
Melting point: -36/C Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20/C (air = 1): 3.0
Relative density (water = 1): 1.56 Auto-ignition temperature: 680/C
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20/C: 0.02 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.30
Vapour pressure, kPa at 20/C: 36
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to
its impact on the ozone layer.
NOTES
High concentrations in the air cause a deficiency of oxygen with the risk of unconsciousness or death.
Check oxygen content before entering area.
The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding.
Freon 113, Frigen 113, Halon 113 are trade names.
Card has been partially updated in July 2007: see Occupational Exposure Limits.
