Material Safety Data Sheet i. CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION PRODUCT NAME: Genetron* 134a PRODUCT USE! Refrigerant, Foam blowing agent, Aerosol MANUFACTURER: Honeywell FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL: IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CALL: INGREDIENT NAME CAS NUMBER WEICHT % Trace impurities and additional material names not listed Above may also appear in Section 15 toward the end of the MSDS. These materials may be listed for local "Right-To-Know" compliance and for other reasons. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable materia). Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher-temperatures, f>250»C), decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) «Dd carbonyl halides ______ POTENTIAL IIEALTH HAZARDS SKINi Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite. EYES: Liquid contact can cause severe irritation mil frostbite. Mist may irritate. INHALATION: Genetron 134a is low in acute toxicity in animals. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, Increased pulse rate and deeper respiration will occur. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur. INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the low boiling point of the material. Should it occur, discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract from rapid evaporation of the material and consequent evolution of gas would result. Some effects of inhalation and skin exposure would be expected. MSDS Number: GTRN-00II PagTTofT Current Issue Date: February, 2003

INGREDIENT NAME NTP STATUS IARC STATUS OSHA LIST No ingredients listed in this section SKIN: Promptly flush skin with water until all chemical is removed. If there is evidence or frostbite, bathe (do not mb) with lukewarm (not hot) water. If water is not available, cover widi a clean, soft cloth or similar covering. Gel medical attention if symptoms persist EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amount;: or water for at least 15 minutes (in esse of...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Contact widi certain reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic reactions under specific conditions' (e.g. very high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures). SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS: Firefighters should wear self-contained, NTOSH-approved breathing apparatus for protection against possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye and skin protection should be provided, U«e water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES "~ TN CASE OK SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: (Always wear recommended...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None generally required for Adequately ventilated work situations. For accidental release or non-ventilated situations, or release duo confined space, where the concentration may be above the PEL of 1,000 ppm, use a self-contained, NIOSH • approved breathing apparatus 01 supplied air respirator, for escape, use the former or a NIOSH-approvetl gas mask with organic vapor canister. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS! Where contact with liquid is likely, such as in a spill or leak, impervious boots und clothing should be worn. High dose- level warning...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET NORMALLY STABLE? (CONDHIONS TO AVOID); Do not mix with oxygon or air above atmospheric pressure. Any source of high temperature, such as lighted cigarettes, flames, hot spots or welding may yield toxic and/or corrosive decomposition products. (Under specific conditions: e.g. very high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures) - Freshly abraded aluminum surlaces (may cause strong exothermic reaction) Chemically active metals: potassium, calcium, powdered aluminum, magnesium HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Halogens, halogen acids and possibly carbonyl halidcs....

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET OTHER DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS: Disposal musl comply with federal, state, and local disposal or discharge laws. Genetron 134a is subject to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air Act Regulations Section 608 in 40 CFR Part 82 regarding refrigerant recycling. The information offered here is for the product as shipped. Use and/or alterations to the product Such as mixing with other materials may significantly change the characteristics of the material and alter the RCRA classification and the proper disposal 14.
