Chemical nature : Substance 

Chemical Name CAS-No. Concentration 

trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene 29118-24-9 100.00 %

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES 

Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, 

administer artificial respiration. Use oxygen as required, 

provided a qualified operator is present. Call a physician. 

Skin contact : Rapid evapouration of the liquid may cause frostbite. If there is 

evidence of frostbite, bathe (do not rub) with lukewarm (not 

hot) water. If water is not available, cover with a clean, soft 

cloth or similar covering. Call a physician if irritation develops

or persists. 

Eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, 

for at least 15 minutes. In case of frostbite water should be 

lukewarm, not hot. If symptoms persist, call a physician. 

Ingestion : Unlikely route of exposure. As this product is a gas, refer to the 

inhalation section. Do not induce vomiting without medical 

advice. Call a physician immediately. 

Notes to physician 

Treatment : Treat frost-bitten areas as needed. 

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 

Suitable extinguishing media : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local 

circumstances and the surrounding environment. 

Water mist 

Dry powder 

Foam 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) 

Unsuitable extinguishing 

media 

: High volume water jet 

Specific hazards during 

firefighting 

: Contents under pressure. 

Heating will cause pressure rise with risk of bursting 

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. 

Product is not combustible under normal conditions. 

However, this material can ignite when mixed with air under 

pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources. 

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water 

courses. 

Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by 

reducing oxygen available for breathing. 

Some risk may be expected of corrosive and toxic 

decomposition products. 

Fire may cause evolution of: 

Hydrogen fluoride 

Special protective equipment 

for firefighters 

: In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. 

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. 

No unprotected exposed skin areas.

Version 2.9 Revision Date 05/08/2014 Print Date 05/09/2014 

Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to 

health. 

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

Personal precautions : Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

Wear personal protective equipment. Unprotected persons 

must be kept away.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Avoid skin contact with leaking liquid (danger of frostbite).

Ventilate the area.

After release, disperses into the air.

Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by 

reducing oxygen available for breathing.

Avoid accumulation of vapours in low areas.

Unprotected personnel should not return until air has been 

tested and determined safe.

Environmental precautions : Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

The product evapourates readily.

Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil 

barriers).

Methods for cleaning up : Do not direct water spray at the point of leakage.

Allow to evapourate.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 

Handling 

Handling : Handle with care.

Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Pressurized container. Protect from sunlight and do not expose 

to temperatures exceeding 50 °C.

Follow all standard safety precautions for handling and use of 

compressed gas cylinders.

Use authorized cylinders only.
