     INHALATION: If signs/symptoms occur, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue,
        call a physician.
     INGESTION: No need for first aid is anticipated.

     HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Toxic by-products may form upon decomposition
        (See Section 10)
     EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Nonflammable.
     FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal
        decomposition of the product is possible, wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-
        contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants,
        bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed areas of the
        head. No unusual effects are anticipated during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing
        the products and substances that may result from the thermal decomposition of the product or the
        other substances in the fire zone. Keep containers cool with water spray when exposed to fire to
        avoid rupture.
     HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

6.      Accidental Release Measures
     SMALL/LARGE SPILL: Observe precautions from other sections. In accordance with good
       industrial practice, provide exhaust ventilation for large spills or in confined spaces. Collect
       spilled material with an absorbent. Place in an approved container.

7.      Handling and Storage
     INCOMPATIBILITY: Finely divided active metals, alkali and alkaline earth metals.
     HANDLING. Store under normal warehouse conditions. Keep container closed when not in use.




                                                                                       P/N: 502-349
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 01828                                                                         Pg. 3

8.       Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
      ENGINEERING CONTROLS: For those situations where the fluid might be exposed to extreme
         overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation
         sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines.
      RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Avoid breathing of thermal
         decomposition products. Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on
         airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with OSHA regulations: half-mask
         supplied air respirator, full-face supplied air respirator.
      SKIN AND HAND PROTECTION: Gloves are not required.
      EYE AND FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields.
      OTHER PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION: No smoking. Smoking while using this product
         can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the formation of hazardous
         decomposition products.

      HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: If the product is exposed to extreme conditions of
        heat from misuse or equipment failure, toxic decomposition products that include hydrogen
        fluoride and perfluoroisobutylene can occur. Hydrogen fluoride has an ACGIH threshold limit
        value of 3 parts per million parts of air, ppm, of fluoride as a ceiling limit and an OSHA PEL of
        3ppm of fluoride as an eight hour time-weighted average and 6 ppm of fluoride as a Short Term
        Exposure Limit. Perfluoroisobutylene has an ACGIH threshold limit value of 0.01 parts per
        million parts of air as a ceiling limit or 0.082 milligrams per cubic meter as a ceiling limit.
      HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

11.      Toxicological Information
      This substance did not degrade significantly in a ready biodegradation test. This compound is completely
          fluorinated (perfluorinated), or it contains perfluorinated portions. Perfluoroalkyl groups resist
          degradation in most natural environments. This low-solubility substance has insignificant toxicity to
          aquatic organisms (Lowest LL50 or EL50 is >1000 mg/L). LL50 (Lethal Level) and EL50 are similar to
          LC50 and EC50, but tests the water phase from incompletely-miscible mixtures.
