TRIFLUOROCHLOROETHYLENE ICSC: 0685 Chlorotrifluoroethylene Trifluorovinyl chloride C2ClF3 Molecular mass: 116.47 (cylinder) ICSC #    0685 CAS #     79-38-9 RTECS # KV0525000 UN #        1082 Types of Hazard/ Exposure Acute Hazards/ Symptoms Prevention First Aid/ Fire Fighting FIRE Flammable. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out; in other cases extinguish with water spray,alcohol-resistant foam,dry powder,carbon dioxide. Explosion Gas/air mixtures are explosive. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. Exposure  •Inhalation Dizziness. Nausea. Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest.  •Skin ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE. Cold-insulating gloves. ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes.  •Eyes Safety goggles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.  •Ingestion Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Spillage Disposal Storage Packaging & Labelling Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Remove vapour with fine water spray. Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Fireproof. Cool. UN Hazard Class: 2.3 UN Subsidiary Risks: 2.1 TRIFLUOROCHLOROETHYLENE ICSC: 0685 Important Data Physical State; Appearance: COLOURLESS , ODOURLESS GAS Physical Dangers: The gas mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are formed easily. Chemical Dangers: On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive gasesincludinghydrogen chloride (ICSC0163)andhydrogen fluoride (ICSC0283). Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV not established. Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. Inhalation Risk: On loss of containment, a harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly. Effects of Short-Term Exposure: The liquid may cause frostbite. The substance may cause effects on the kidneys. Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: Physical Properties Boiling point: -28°C Melting point: -158°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.3 Vapour pressure, kPa at 25°C: 612 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.02 Flash point: -27.8°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 24-40.3 Environmental Data This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to its impact on the ozone layer. N O T E S An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See flash point.
