Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Chlorinated fluorocarbons

SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties and safety characteristics

Physical state	Chlorotrifluoromethane is a colorless odorless gas. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. It is noncombustible. It can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause it to rupture violently and rocket.
Colour	Colorless gas
Odour	Ethereal
Melting point/freezing point	-181ÂºC
Boiling point or initial boiling point and boiling range	-81,4ÂºC
Flammability	Not combustible. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.
Lower and upper explosion limit/flammability limit	no data available
Flash point	no data available
Auto-ignition temperature	no data available
Decomposition temperature	no data available
pH	no data available
Kinematic viscosity	no data available
Solubility	Water solubility = 60.1 mg/l @ 25 deg C
Partition coefficient n-octanol/water	log Kow = 1.65
Vapour pressure	24816 mm Hg (USCG, 1999)
Density and/or relative density	1.29
Relative vapour density	1.298 at -22Â° F (USCG, 1999) (Relative to Air)
Particle characteristics	no data available

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

Decomposes on burning. Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and phosgene. Incompatible with certain metal powders (aluminium, zinc, beryllium).

10.2 Chemical stability

no data available

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

Nonflammable.The gas is heavier than air and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen.The reaction of aluminum with various halogenated hydrocarbons produces a self-sustaining reaction with sufficient heat to melt aluminum pieces, examples of other halogenated hydrocarbons are fluorotrichloromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, chlorodifluoromethane, tetrafluoromethane. The vigor of the reaction appears to be dependent on the combined degree of fluorination and the vapor pressure, [Chem. Eng. News 39(27):44(1961)].

10.4 Conditions to avoid

no data available

10.5 Incompatible materials

no data available

10.6 Hazardous decomposition products

When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of ... /hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride/.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

Aspiration hazard

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

SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

Toxicity to fish: no data available
Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
Toxicity to algae: no data available
Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

Highly chlorinated/fluorinated compounds are not expected to biodegrade rapidly(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF value of 10 was calculated for chlorotrifluoromethane(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.65(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of chlorotrifluoromethane is estimated as approximately 188(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.65(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that chlorotrifluoromethane is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
