Get medical attention.

Ingestion : Is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Most important : Anesthetic effects Light-headedness irregular heartbeat with a strange

symptoms/effects, acute sensation in the chest, heart thumping, apprehension, feeling of fainting,
and delayed dizziness or weakness

Protection of first-aiders : If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective
equipment.

Notes to physician : Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs,

such as epinephrine, that may be used in situations of emergency life support
should be used with special caution.

Specific hazards : Flammable. Containers may rupture under fire conditions. This substance's
fire decomposition by-products will include hydrofluoric acid, and possibly
carbonyl fluoride. Avoid contact with these materials, which are toxic and
irritating. Evacuate personnel immediately in the event of a fire involving this
substance. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors are heavier
than air and may spread along floors. Vapors or gases may travel
considerable distances to ignition source and flash back.

: Use personal protective equipment. Wear neoprene gloves during cleaning

Special protective equipment up work after a fire. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to
for firefighters health.

: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and

Further information the surrounding environment. Cool containers/tanks with water spray.

Jelmar Power Plumber (Refill and Kits)

Version 2.1

Revision Date: 9/28/2016

Handling (Personnel) : Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. For personal
protection see section 8. Lines and equipment should be pre-tested with
nitrogen using soapy water to detect leaks.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Handling (Physical Aspects) : Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapors may form
flammable mixture with air. The product should only be used in areas from
which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been excluded.
Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard. No
sparking tools should be used. Take measures to prevent the buildup of
electrostatic charge. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources
of ignition. When using do not smoke.

Dust explosion class : Not applicable

Storage : Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store in
original container.
No materials to be especially mentioned.
The product has an indefinite shelf life when stored properly.

Storage period : > 10 yr

Storage temperature : < 52 °C (< 126 °F)

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering controls : Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-
proof electrical equipment rated Class I, Group D in Division 1 locations. In
Division 2 locations, all spark-producing electrical equipment must be
explosion-proof and rated Class I, Group D.
Non-sparking motors need not be explosion-proof. Ground all equipment and
cylinders before use.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : For rescue and maintenance work in storage tanks use self-contained
breathing apparatus. Vapors are heavier than air and can cause suffocation
by reducing oxygen available for breathing.

Hand protection : Additional protection: Heat insulating gloves, and, Impervious gloves

Eye protection : Wear coverall chemical splash goggles. Additionally wear a face shield where
the possibility exists for face contact due to splashing, spraying or airborne
