Trichlorotrifluoroethane CFC 113 R 113

CAS #: 76-13-1

EC Number: 200-936-1

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible under specific conditions. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Irregular heartbeat. Confusion. Drowsiness. Unconsciousness.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from metals and alloys. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Ventilation along the floor.

1,1,2-TRICHLORO-1,2,2-TRIFLUOROETHANE

ICSC: 0050

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS VOLATILE LIQUID WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Physical dangers The vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen. Chemical dangers Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames. This produces toxic and corrosive gases of hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163), phosgene (see ICSC 0007), hydrogen fluoride (see ICSC 0283) and carbonyl fluoride (see ICSC 0633). Reacts violently with powdered metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks magnesium and its alloys.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system. This may result in cardiac disorders and central nervous system depression. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness. See Notes.	Inhalation risk On loss of containment this substance can cause suffocation by lowering the oxygen content of the air in confined areas. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system. This may result in cardiac disorders and central nervous system depression. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness. See Notes.

Inhalation risk
On loss of containment this substance can cause suffocation by lowering the oxygen content of the air in confined areas.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 1000 ppm as TWA; 1250 ppm as STEL; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen). MAK: 3900 mg/m³, 500 ppm; peak limitation category: II(2); pregnancy risk group: D

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid release to the environment because of its impact on the ozone layer.

NOTES
High concentrations in the air cause a deficiency of oxygen with the risk of unconsciousness or death. Check oxygen content before entering area. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding.
