Emergency Overview: This material is a low boiling point (115 o F), nonflammable colorless liquid with a slight distinctive odor. Toxic if inhaled or swallowed. Contact may cause severe eye irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapors may cause headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. Toxic combustion products may be released under fire conditions.

Potential Health Effects From Overexposure: Possible routes of entry include skin & eye contact and process vapor or

mist inhalation.

This is an experimental product whose heal th effects, physical hazards, and toxicol ogical properties have not been thoroughly investigated.

May be fatal if inhaled, absorbed through skin, or swallowed. Contact with liquid, vapors, or mists may cause severe eye irritation. Processing under conditions of inadequate ventilati on may produce symptoms of nausea, dizziness, or headaches. Exposure to vapors or mists may cause shortness of breath, lethargy, narcosis, unconsciousness, and possible cardiac arrhythmias. Prolonged or repeated exposure maybe toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of vapors may cause lung, liver, heart, kidney, and reproductive effects based on animal data of a chemically related substance, Octofluorocyclopentene (C 5 F 8 ).

Appropriate precautions should be taken to minimize potential exposure to accidental ingestion, inhalation of process vapors or mists, and skin contact.

It may be possible under certain processing and handling conditio ns, e.g. processes that create vapors or mists to release this product in airborne concentrations in excess of the recommended exposure limits or guidelines. Customers and processors should do sufficient in-house industrial hygiene monitoring to assure compliance of their opera tions. In addition, customers and processors should confirm that the ACGIH Biological Exposure Index for fluoride is not exceeded in workers using this product.

Overexposure to decomposition or combustion products may cau se irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Symptoms such as coughing, tearing, and irritation should be regarded as potentia lly hazardous and measures taken to avoid exposure. See Section 10 for information on combustion products.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

If irritation occurs or persists from any route of exposure, remove the affected individual from the area and seek medical

assistance.

Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Consult with medical professionals regarding inducing vomiting to remove liquid from stomach.

Eye Contact: Flush eyes with running water for several minutes while holding eyelids open. Consult a physician if irritation persists.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contact area with soap and wa ter for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation / allergic skin reaction develops.

Vapor Inhalation : Remove the affected individual to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

This material is nonflammable.

Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide or dry chemical is recommended for small fires. For large fires use aqueous foam or

water spray.Experimental Product SSY-38 Page 3 Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear positive pressure self-contained breat hing apparatus (SCBA) during the attack phase of firefighting operations and during cleanup in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas immediately after a fire. Personnel not having suitable respiratory protection must leave the area to prevent significant exposure to toxic combustion gases from

any source.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Low boiling nonflammable liquid. Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions. Toxic gases may be formed up on combustion and represents a hazard to firefighters. See Section 10 for additional information on combustion products.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Isolate area around spill to prevent exposure to the chemi cal. Wear respiratory protection and appropriate protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact. Contain spill, ven tilate area, and recover as much as possible for disposal. Absorb remaining residue with inert materi al and place into closed containers to aw ait disposal. Wash spill area with soap and water. Do not allow product to en ter municipal sewers or waterways.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

Local and spot ventilation should be used to keep concentrations of the chemical below suggested workplace exposure limits (AEL). Direct ventilation exhaust away fr om other work areas. Avoid breathing this material in any form (gas, mist, vapor, or fume). Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Store in a well ventilated location. Keep container closed when not i n use. Wash thoroughly after handling, esp ecially before eating, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use or consume food in processing areas.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Ventilation: Control airborne concentrations below the recommende d exposure limits. Use only with adequate ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is recommended. Provide local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposure to vapors. Toxic concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation.

Respiratory Protection: For protection against process vapors or mists, wear a NIOSH approved re spirator suitable for the anticipated airborne concentration. Wear a positive pressure ai r-supplied respirator in situatio ns where there may be potentia l for elevated airborne exposure.

Protective Equipment: During processing operations, safety goggles or sa fety glasses with face shield suitable for keeping liquid material out of the eyes should be worn when eye contact is anticipated. Rubber gloves and apron should be worn when skin contact is anticipated. Provide an eye wash facility and safety shower.

Respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment are strongly recommended during the following operations: gas cylinder exchange / replacement and cleaning or maintenanc e of dry-etching / chemical deposition devices, attachments, connections, or lines.
