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.
Inhalation:
If symptoms of irritation, discomfort or overcome by exposure, remove affected person 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 carbonyl fluoride and
hydrogen fluoride (HF). This gas is toxic if inhaled or it comes into contact with moist skin. HF has an
ACGIH TLV ceiling limit of 3 ppm (2.6 mg/m3) and an OSHA PEL TWA of 3 ppm. Carbonyl fluoride
has an ACGIH TLV TWA and 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 as an aid in cleaning. 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.
