MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Neoflon CPT LP Series

SECTION 1: CHEMICAL PRODUCT & COMPANY IDENTIFICATION MSDS-CPT ISSUED 08/16/10

DAIKIN TRADE NAME: Neoflon CPT LP Series Pellet

GRADE: LP–1011

FEATURE AND APPLICATION: Fluorocarbon polymer with high vapor barrier 

CHEMICAL FAMILY: Tetrafluoroethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene Copolymer

MANUFACTURER / SUPPLIER: DAIKIN AMERICA, INC. 

20 OLYMPIC DRIVE, ORANGEBURG, NEW YORK 10962

EMERGENCY PHONE: 1-256-306-5000

PRODUCT INFORMATION: 1-800-365-9570 9 am to 5 pm Eastern Standard Time

SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Translucent, milky-white polymer pellet

ODOR: None

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: May cause eye and skin irritation. Harmful if large amounts are swallowed. Harmful if 

thermal decomposition products are inhaled. Skin burns from contact with molten 

material while processing at elevated temperatures.

The fluoropolymer contained in this product in its raw form is nearly inert. Processing 

above 250 C, may produce hydrogen fluoride and other toxic fluorinated compounds. 

Inhalation of these compounds may result in serious lung irritation. Inhalation of vapors 

and fumes may cause flu-like symptoms (e.g., chills, fever, cough) that may not occur 

until several hours after exposure and typically pass within about 36 to 48 hours.

HMIS RATINGS: Health: 1

Flammability: 0

Reactivity: 0

SECTION 4. FIRST AID PROCEDURES

INGESTION: Consult a physician immediately. 

EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water for 10-15 minutes. Consult a physician if needed.

SKIN CONTACT: Wash contacted area with soap and water. 

If molten, do not attempt to remove molten material. Immediately flush affected area with plenty of cold 

water and cover with a clean dressing. Consult a physician.

INHALATION: Leave the contaminated area and seek fresh air. If breathing is difficult, contact a physician.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT: Non-flammable

FLAMMABLE LIMITS: LEL: None UEL: None

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Toxic by-products including hydrofluoric acid, perfluoroisobutylene, and 

carbonyl fluoride may be formed by exposure to high temperature fires.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical or water spray

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved SCBA and bunker gear. Evolution of acidic gases 

may require complete wash down of protective clothing prior to removal.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Ensure cleanup is done only by trained personnel wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. 

Collect spilled material in a container and seal.

Do not allow to enter sewers, surface or ground water.

Spilled material is a slipping hazard.

SECTION 7. HANDLING & STORAGE

HANDLING

Use product only for intended purpose.

Close containers after each use.

Wash hands after handling.

If smoking tobacco becomes contaminated by this material, exposure to toxic gases through inhalation can occur. 

Therefore, do not smoke in the work areas and wash hands and face after handling in order to avoid transfer of material 

onto tobacco.

Do not allow material to be exposed to excessive heat (e. g., from use of torch, welding, etc).

Provide good room ventilation.

STORAGE

Keep away from heat, steam or sunlight.

Store in a tightly closed container.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Normally not necessary. If material is heated above 150 C, use a respirator for acidic 

gases. Respirator for nuisance dusts is required if airborne levels exceed the 

established Occupational Exposure Limits. (See section 11 for exposure limits)

EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with sideshields or goggles

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Appropriate gloves and clean room clothing. Thermal burn resistant gloves when 

handling extrudate.

VENTILATION: Normally not necessary. Use local exhaust ventilation if material is heated above 150 C 

or if molding or curing. 

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eyewash station and safety shower.

SECTION 9. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PARAMETERS

MELTING POINT (C): 236 ~ 251 C

APPARENT DENSITY (H2O=1): 2.11 ~ 2.16 g/cm3

VAPOR PRESSURE: Not applicable

EVAPORATION RATE (Butyl acetate=1): Not applicable

DECOMPOSITION TEMPERATURE (C): 413 C (1%TG)

VOLATILES: Not applicable

SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Insoluble

SECTION 10. STABILITY & REACTIVITY

STABILITY: Stable under normal temperature and pressure

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat, sparks and open flame – material will decompose.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Should not occur

INCOMPATIBILITIES: Molten alkali metals, interhalogen compounds, and some kinds of amines; finely 

divided metallic powder or filler. 

Hazardous decomposition or by-products and toxic by-products including hydrofluoric 

acid, perfluoroisobutylene, and carbonyl fluoride may be formed at very high 

temperatures.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ACUTE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE

Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Small amounts (tablespoonfuls) during normal handling are not likely to cause 

injury. Larger amounts may cause injury.

Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.

Skin Contact: May cause slight irritation.

Inhalation: When thermally decomposed, this material can cause polymer fume fever. Airborne concentrations in 

excess of Occupational Exposure Limits may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract and may 

aggravate pre-existing respiratory conditions.

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: No data available

CARCINOGENICITY: None of the components in this material are listed by NTP, OSHA or IARC.

OTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS (OF THE PURE MATERIALS)

Fluorocarbon polymer: No data

Particulates, not otherwise regulated: OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m3

ACGIH TLV: 10 mg/m3

NIOSH REL: 10 mg/m3

Excessive exposure to thermal degradation products could result in delayed pulmonary edema in some cases, and on very 

high exposure, damage to the liver and kidneys. These substances may include: perfluoroisobutylene (TLV = 10 ppb), 

carbonyl fluoride (TLV = 2 ppm TWA, 5 ppm STEL), hydrogen fluoride (TLV = 2 ppm Ceiling, 0.5 ppm TWA).

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ECOTOXICITY: No data. Expected to be low due to the near-zero water solubility of the polymer. Material is 

considered inert and not expected to be biodegradable or toxic.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: No data

SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Comply with Federal, State and Local regulations concerning health and environment when disposing of materials. Regulations 

may also apply to empty containers, liners, or rinsate. Usually considered an inert packaging material that can be recycled or 

landfilled. DO NOT INCINERATE unless incinerator is capable of scrubbing hydrogen fluoride and other acidic combustion 

products.
