Hazards Compressed liquified gas R 134a Health Hazards Skin eye irritant Harmful central nervous system depression cardiac arrhythmias Hazard Summary as defined by OSHA Hazard Comm Std 29 CFR 1910 1200 Potential Health Effects General This health hazard assessment is based on a consideration of the composition of this product Ingestion Extremely unlikely to occur in use Eye contact Irritant Liquid splashes or vapor spray may cause freeze burns MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Revised 4 16 99 MSDS ID 37836 ICI AMERICAS INC Page 2 Skin contact Irritant The liquid form of this product may cause freeze burns frostbite like lesions Inhalation Exposure to very high vapor concentration can induce anesthetic effects progressing from dizziness weakness nausea to unconsciousness It can act as an asphyxiant by limiting available oxygen Very high doses can cause abnormal heart rhythm which is potentially fatal Persons with preexisting heart disease may increase risk from exposure Other effects of overexposure See Section 11 for additional information Read the entire MSDS for a more thorough evaluation of the hazards Section 4 FIRST AID MEASURES Skin Contact Thaw effected area with water Remove contaminated clothing Clothing may adhere to the skin in case of freeze burns Wash material off of skin with plenty of soap and water If redness itching or a burning sensation develops get medical attention Wash contaminated clothing and decontaminate footwear before reuse Eye Contact Irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water holding eyelids apart for at least 15 minutes If redness itching or a burning sensation develops have eyes examined and treated by medical personnel Ingestion DO NOT induce vomiting Never give anything to an unconscious person Wash out mouth with water and give 1 or 2 glasses of water to drink If gastrointestinal symptoms develop consult medical personnel Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air Keep warm and at rest If not breathing give artificial respiration preferable mouth to mouth If breathing is labored give oxygen In the event of a cardiac arrest apply external cardiac massage Do not administer adrenaline or similar sympathomimetic drugs as cardiac arrhythmias may result Get immediate medical attention Section 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point Deg C 225 open cup Polyoxoalkylene glycol ether Autoignition temperature Not determined

Refrigerant 1 1 1 2 Tetrafluoroethane is not flammable in air under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure Under conditions of high temperature and pressure certain R 134a air mixtures were shown to be flammable Mixtures of R 134a and air or oxygen should not be used for pressure or leak testing Certain mixtures of R 134a and chlorine may be flammable under some conditions Thermal decomposition will evolve toxic and irritant vapors Extinguishing Media Not applicable Use media suitable for surrounding fire Use water spray to cool container Fire Fighting Equipment Use self contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece and protective clothing Explosive Power None Combustion Products Hydrogen fluoride Oxides of phosphorus carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide NFPA Hazards Health 2 Flammability 1 Reactivity 1 Special Hazard None Section 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Shut off leak if without risk Wear skin eye and respiratory protection Ventilate the spill area Contain and absorb large spillages onto a inert non flammable absorbent carrier such as earth or sand Prevent liquid from entering drains sewers or waterways since vapor can create suffocating atmosphere Shovel into a chemical waste container for disposal or recovery If unable to contain or absorb spilled liquid then allow spilled liquid to evaporate Protect against frostbite from evaporating liquid Section 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Avoid skin and eye contact Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of mists or vapors Do not smoke around this product Do not cut grind or weld on or near this product due to the possible toxic fume generation Do not put mixture of R134a with air or oxygen under pressure do not use such mixtures for leak or pressure testing Storage Requirements Keep in a cool well ventilated place Keep away from direct sunlight heat and sources of ignition MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Revised 4 16 99 MSDS ID 37836 ICI AMERICAS INC Page 3 Storage Temperature Keep at a temperature below 120 deg F 49 deg C Section 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure guidelines No OSHA PELs or ACTGIH TLVs have been assigned Minimize exposure in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice Engineering controls Ventilate low lying areas such as sumps or pits where vapors collect Use ventalation adequate to maintain safe levels Provide eyewash station and safety shower in work area Respiratory protection Not normally needed if controls are adequate If needed use MSHA NIOSH approved respirator for organic vapors For high concentrations and oxygen deficient atmospheres use positive pressure air supplied respirator Protective clothing Gloves determined to be impervious under conditions of use neoprene Depending on conditions of use additional protection may be required such as apron arm covers or full body suit Wash contaminated clothing before rewearing Eye protection Chemical tight goggles full faceshield in addition if splashing is possible Other protective equipment Eye wash station and safety shower in work area Section 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Colorless liquid Polyoxoalkylene

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION No toxicity information is available on this specific preparation This health hazard assessment is based on information that is available on its components Possible Human Health Effects General There is evidence that tricresylphosphate has produced depressed cholinesteerase levels in test animals Inhalation High atmospheric concentrations may lead to anesthetic effects including loss of consciousness Very high exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal Higher concentrations may cause asphyxiation due to reduced oxygen content of the atmosphere Skin contact Repeated or prolonged skin contact may result in irritation Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns Unlikely to be hazardous by skin absorption Eye contact Irritant Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns Ingestion Low oral toxicity But should this occur freeze burns will result Carcinogencity The ingredients of this product are not classified as carcinogenic by ACGIH or IARC not regulated as carcinogens by OSHA and not listed as carcinogens by NTP Other effects of overexposure No other adverse clinical effects are known to be associated with exposures to this material However because exposure potential is a critical element in the expression of a potential health hazard this product if handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene practices will not present an actual hazard in the workplace Section 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Persistence and degradation Decomposes comparatively rapidly in the lower atmosphere troposphere Atmospheric lifetime is 15 6 years Products of decomposition will be highly dispersed and hence will have a photochemical smog and is not considered to be a VOC Has not effect on the ozone layer MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Revised 4 16 99 MSDS ID 37836 ICI AMERICAS INC Page 5 Effect on effluent treatment Discharges of the product will enter the atmosphere and will not result in long term aqueous contamination Section 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Disposal method Discarded product is not a hazardous waste under RCRA 40 CFR 261 However R134a containing product should be recycled reclaimed or destroyed whenever possible Container disposal Empty container retains product residue Observe allhazard precautions Do not distribute make available furnish or reuse empty container except for
