Section 1 - Chemical product and Company information
Date Prepared: May 20, 2005
Product Name: Fomblin YL-VAC 25/6 RP
Chemical Name: Mixture of (S) parafluoropropene and oxygen polymerized, amide derivative and
Propene, 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro, oxidized, polymerized
Chemical Family: Fluoropolymer
Synonyms: None
Emergency Telephone: 800-424-9300 (CHEMTREC, 24 hours)

oxygen polymerized, amide
derivative
Propene, 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexa- 69991-67-9 Proprietary
fluoro, oxidized, polymerized
Section 3 - Potential Health Effects
Effects of Overexposure:
Eye Contact
Eye contact may cause slight irritation.
Skin Contact
Skin contact may cause slight irritation.
Inhalation
Inhalation of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Ingestion
Not an expected exposure route. Ingestion may cause nausea and vomiting.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eye Contact:
Flush eyes for 15 minutes with copious amounts of water, retracting eyelids often. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists.
Skin Contact:
Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.
Inhalation:
If symptoms of irritation or discomfort are experienced, or person is overcome by exposure, remove to fresh air. Give
oxygen or artificial respiration as needed.

Ingestion:
If conscious, drink three to four 8 ounce glasses of water or milk. Call a physician. If unconscious, immediately take
affected person to a hospital. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Not Applicable
Lower Explosive Limit: Not Applicable
Upper Explosive Limit: Not Applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Not Applicable
Extinguishing Media: Water (spray or fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unusual Fire Hazards:
Fluoropolymers will degrade upon prolonged heating or in a fire, liberating hydrogen fluoride (HF) and carbonyl fluoride
(COF2). This gas is toxic if inhaled or it comes into contact with moist skin. HF has an ACGIH PEL TLV (8hr TWA)
of 0.5ppm and a ceiling limit of 2 ppm (1.7mg/m3). COF2 has an ACGIH TLV of 2 ppm (5.4 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL
TWA of 2 ppm (5 mg/m3).
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and skin protection for acid gas exposure. Do not enter fire area without
proper protection. Fight fire from safe distance. If possible, air monitoring should be performed.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Releases: In case of a release or spill, absorb material onto vermiculite or similar inert absorbent. Use
Perfluorosolv0 PFS-1 Solvent to clean up any remaining liquid. Place spilled material into covered container for
disposal. Dispose of according to applicable local, state and federal regulations. Extinguish all ignition sources and
evacuate the area. Exercise caution; spill area may be slippery.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Wash hands after use and before handling food or applying cosmetics. Do not use tobacco products in the immediate
area. Keep containers closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Do not store near combustible materials.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (8 hr. time weighted average)
None established
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (8 hr. time weighted average)
None established
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation Requirements:
Local Exhaust: Vent vapors or mists generated by processing away from operating personnel. Local exhaust ventilation
at a rate of 50 feet per minute.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respiratory Protection:
No occupational exposure standards have been developed for this material. In situations where exposure to vapors or
mists is likely, NIOSH/MSHA approved acid and organic vapor respirators are recommended. Respirator use limitations
made by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed. Respiratory protection programs must be in accordance
with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Eye/Face Protection:
ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields or equivalent, safety goggles.
Skin Protection:
Rubber or latex gloves recommended but not necessary.
