Composition/Information On Ingredients
Components: TRICHLOROFLUORO- METHANE, (R-11)
CAS Number,% 75-69-4 100%
Potential Health Effects
INHALATION: R-11- Concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death. Intentional misuse or deliberate inhalation may cause death without warning. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air. Causes skin and eye irritation.
HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS: R-11-Over-exposure by eye contact may include eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Skin contact with the liquid may cause drying of the skin with repeated contact resulting in mild skin irritation with discomfort or rash. Overexposure by inhalation may cause temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, in-coordination, and loss of consciousness; temporary alteration of the heart’s electrical activity with irregular pulse, palpitations, or inadequate circulation, or the effects of exclusion of oxygen with grossly excessive exposures. Ingestion may include nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or eakness.
ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS: R-11-Individuals with preexisting diseases of the entral nervous or cardiovascular system may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION: R-11-None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
First Aid Measures
INHALATION: If high concentrations are inhaled, immediately remove to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of skin contact, flush skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation is present.
EYE CONTACT: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION: If swallowed, no specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not likely to be hazardous by ingestion. However, consult a physician if necessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS: Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should be used with special caution in situations of emergency life support.
Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Will not burn
Method: TOC
Flammable limits in Air, % by Volume
LEL: Not applicable
UEL: Not applicable
Auto ignition: Not determined
Autodecomposition: >593℃ (>1099 F)
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Drums may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: As appropriate for combustibles in area.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if containers rupture and contents are spilled under fire conditions. Water runoff should be contained and neutralized prior to release.
Accidental Release Measures
SAFEGUARDS (PERSONNEL):
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Ventilate area. Do not flush into sewers. Dike spill. Collect on absorbent material and transfer to steel drums for recovery or disposal.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for large spills.
Comply with Federal, State and local regulations on reporting releases.
Handling And Storage
HANDLING (PERSONNEL): Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended limits.
STORAGE: Clean, dry area. Do not store above 52°C (125°F).
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Normal ventilation for standard manufacturing procedures is generally adequate. Local exhaust should be used when large amounts are released. Mechanical ventilation should be used in low or enclosed places.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Impervious gloves should be used to avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Chemical splash goggles should be available for use as needed to prevent eye contact. Under normal manufacturing conditions, no respiratory protection is required when using this product. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if a spill occurs.

Stability And Reactivity
CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid open flames and high temperatures. Incompatibility with Other Materials. Incompatible with alkali or alkaline earth metals- powdered Al, Zn, Be, etc.
DECOMPOSITION: Decomposition products are hazardous. R-11 can be decomposed by high temperatures (open flames, glowing metal surfaces, etc.) forming hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids, and possibly carbonyl halides. These materials are toxic and irritating. Contact should be avoided.
POLYMERIZATION: Polymerization will not occur.
Toxicological Information
Animal Data Inhalation 4-hour LC50: 26,200 ppm in rats Oral ALD : 3725 mg/kg in rats
The compound is not a skin irritant but is a mild eye irritant. Toxic effects in rats exposed by inhalation include central nervous system and anesthetic effects at high concentrations. Concentrations of 0.35% and higher caused cardiac sensitization in dogs. Various cardiovascular and circulatory abnormalities have also been reported in other animals. Changes in the lungs, liver, brain and spleen were observed in a study of rats exposed by inhalation to 12 times the TLV. In another study at 25 times the TLV, rats, guinea pigs, and cats exhibited no microscopic evidence of damage to the heart, lungs, kidney, liver or spleen. Exposures by ingestion or skin resulted in no evidence of toxicity in rats, dogs or rabbits.
Ecological Information
Ecotoxicological Information Aquatic Toxicity R-11: 96-hour LC50, rainbow trout: 190 mg/L
Disposal Considerations
