COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
 
INGREDIENT NAME CAS NUMBER WEIGHT %
Chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) 75-45-6 60
Chlorodifluoroethane (HCFC-142b) 75-68-3 15
Chlorotetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124) 2837-89-0 25

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
 
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable material.
Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher temperatures, (>250°C), decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides such as phosgene.
 
POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS
 
SKIN: Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite.
 
EYES: Liquid contact can cause severe irritation and frostbite. Mist may irritate.
 
INHALATION: R-409A is low in acute toxicity in animals. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper respiration will occur. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur.
 
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the low boiling point of the material. Should it occur, discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract from rapid evaporation of the material and consequent evolution of gas would result.
Some effects of inhalation and skin exposure would be expected.
 
DELAYED EFFECTS: None known.

FIRST AID MEASURES
 
SKIN: Promptly flush skin with water until all chemical is removed. If there is evidence of frostbite, bathe (do not rub) with lukewarm (not hot) water. If water is not available, cover with a clean, soft cloth or similar covering. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
 
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes (in case of frostbite water should be lukewarm, not hot) lifting eyelids occasionally to facilitate irrigation. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
 
INHALATION: Immediately remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Use oxygen as required, provided a qualified operator is available. Get medical attention. Do not give epinephrine (adrenaline).
 
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the physical properties and is not expected to be hazardous. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician.
 
ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: Because of the possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should be used with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support.
Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
conditions.
 
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
 
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
 
FLASH POINT: Gas, not applicable per DOT regulations
 
FLASH POINT METHOD: Not applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: <750°C
 
UPPER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): None*
 
LOWER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): None*
 
*Based on ASHRAE Standard 34 with match ignition
 
FLAME PROPAGATION RATE (solids): Not applicable
 
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: Not applicable
 
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
 
Use any standard agent – choose the one most appropriate for type of surrounding fire (material itself is not flammable)
 
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
 
R-409A is not flammable at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure. However, this material will become combustible when mixed with air under pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources.
 
Contact with certain reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic reactions under specific conditions (e.g. very high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures).
 
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS:
 
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for protection against possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
 
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
 
Evacuate unprotected personnel. Protected personnel should remove ignition sources and shut off leak, if without risk, and provide ventilation. Unprotected personnel should not return until air has been tested and determined safe, including lowlying areas.
 
Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. See Section 15 regarding reporting requirements.
 
HANDLING AND STORAGE
 
NORMAL HANDLING: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
 
Avoid breathing vapors and liquid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not puncture or drop cylinders, expose them to open flame or excessive heat. Use authorized cylinders only. Follow standard safety precautions for handling and use of compressed gas cylinders.
 
R-409A should not be mixed with air above atmospheric pressure for leak testing or any other purpose.
 
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
 
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk and out of direct sunlight. Protect cylinder and its fittings from physical damage. Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided. Close valve tightly after use and when empty.
 
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
 
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
 
Provide local ventilation at filling zones and areas where leakage is probable. Mechanical (general) ventilation may be adequate for other operating and storage areas.
 
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
 
SKIN PROTECTION:
 
Skin contact with refrigerant may cause frostbite. General work clothing and gloves (leather) should provide adequate protection. If prolonged contact with the liquid or gas is anticipated, insulated gloves constructed of PVA, neoprene or butyl rubber should be used. Any contaminated clothing should be promptly removed and washed before reuse.
 
EYE PROTECTION:
 
For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear chemical safety goggles.
 
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
 
None generally required for adequately ventilated work situations. For accidental release or non-ventilated situations, or release into confined space, where the concentration may be above the PEL of 1,000 ppm, use a self-contained, NIOSHapproved breathing apparatus or supplied air respirator. For escape: use the former or a NIOSH-approved gas mask with organic vapor canister.
 
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
 
Where contact with liquid is likely, such as in a spill or leak, impervious boots and clothing should be worn. High dose-level warning signs are recommended for areas of principle exposure. Provide eyewash stations and quick-drench shower facilities at convenient locations. For tank cleaning operations, see OSHA regulations, 29 CFR 1910.132 and 29 CFR 1910.133.
