FIR No.: 045167 SDS US Issue Date: 05-26-2015 Version: 01 1 / 7 4. First-aid measures Inhalation Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory tract irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Move to fresh air. Get medical attention immediately. Skin contact In case of contact with liquefied gas, thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area. Get medical attention immediately. Eye contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. Ingestion Not likely, due to the form of the product. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Symptoms of overexposure can include shortness of breath, drowsiness, headaches, confusion, decreased coordination, visual disturbances and vomiting, and are reversible if exposure is stopped. Continued exposure can lead to hypoxia (inadequate oxygen), cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin), numbness of the extremities, unconsciousness and death. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. General information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. Unsuitable extinguishing media None known. Specific hazards arising from the chemical During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Hydrogen fluoride, a corrosive and toxic gas, and other potentially hazardous fluorine-containing compounds may be released upon combustion. Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Fire fighting equipment/instructions In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in flame. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out. Specific methods Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. General fire hazards Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may explode when exposed to heat or flame. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures In the event of a leak evacuate all personnel until ventilation can restore oxygen concentrations to safe levels. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not enter storage areas or confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Oxygen concentration should not fall below 19.5 % at sea level (pO2 = 135 mmHg). Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times, close all valves when not in use. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). FIR No.: 045167 SDS US Issue Date: 05-26-2015 Version: 01 2 / 7 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits US. Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL) Guides ValueComponents Type TWA 4240 mg/m3Norflurane (CAS 811-97-2) 1000 ppm Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Appropriate engineering controls Use adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure limits/guidelines. If user operations generate a vapor, dust and/or mist, use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below the recommended exposure limits/guidelines. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Skin protection Hand protection Suitable chemical protective gloves should be worn when the potential exists for prolonged or repeated skin exposure. The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other. Wear cold insulating gloves. Other Wear suitable protective clothing. Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing if applicable. Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in accordance with the requirements of OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and/or Canadian Standard CSA Z94.4. Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. General hygiene considerations Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance Physical state Gas. Form Liquefied gas. Color Colorless. Odor Ether-like.
