R134a GAS CHEMICAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
PRODUCT NAME:
COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
CAS No.: 000811-97-2
EEC No.: 212-377-0
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT(S)
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC 134a)
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Low acute toxicity. High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric
concentrations may cause anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation.
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns to skin and eyes.
FIRST-AID MEASURES
The first aid advice given for skin contact, eye contact, and ingestion is applicable following exposures to the liquid or spray.
See also TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Inhalation: Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Administer oxygen if necessary. Apply artificial
respiration if breathing has ceased or shows signs of failing. In the event of cardiac arrest apply external
cardiac massage. Obtain immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Thaw affected areas with water. Remove contaminated clothing. Caution: clothing may adhere to the skin
in the case of freeze burns. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of warm water. If irritation
or blistering occur obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water, holding the eyelids apart, for at least 10
minutes.
Obtain immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Unlikely route of exposure.
Do not induce vomiting. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water and give 200-300 ml
(half a pint) of water to drink. Obtain immediate medical attention.
Further Medical Treatment
Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy as indicated.
Adrenaline and similar sympathomimetic drugs should be avoided following exposure as cardiac arrhythmia may result with
possible subsequent cardiac arrest.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
This refrigerant is not flammable in air under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. Certain mixtures of this
refrigerant and air when under pressure may be flammable. Mixtures of this refrigerant and air under pressure should be
avoided.
Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions.
Thermal decomposition will evolve very toxic and corrosive vapors. (hydrogen fluoride)
Containers may burst if overheated.
Extinguishing Media:
containers.
Fire Fighting Protective Equipment:
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages. See Also EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Provided it is safe to do so, isolate the source of the leak. Allow small spillages to evaporate provided there is adequate
ventilation.
Large spillages: Ventilate area. Contain spillages with sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material. Prevent liquid from
entering drains, sewers, basements and workpits since the vapor may create a suffocating atmosphere.
