Chemical Safety
0220 ANTIMONY PENTAFLUORIDE
IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
OILY COLOURLESS HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation,
through the skin and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
Inhalation risk
The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing
toxic and corrosive fumes including antimony and fluorine. Reacts Evaporation at 20/C is negligible; a harmful concentration of
violently with water forming toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.
(see ICSC 0283). Attacks glass, copper and lead.
Effects of short-term exposure
Occupational exposure limits The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the
TLV: (as Sb) 0.5 mg/m 3 as TWA; (ACGIH 2004). respiratory tract. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema
MAK: (as Sb) Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell mutagen group: (see Notes). The substance may cause effects on the blood,
3A; (DFG 2005). heart muscle, kidneys and liver, resulting in cardiac disorders and
impaired functions.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling point: 141/C Solubility in water: reaction
Melting point: 8.3/C Vapour pressure, kPa at 25/C: 1.33
Relative density (water = 1): 3.00
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
NOTES
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water or hydrous agents.
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.
Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
Also consult ICSC 0283 (Hydrogen fluoride).
Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
