Section 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Potential Health Effects:
INHALATION: Major route of exposure. Vapor is heavier than air and can
cause suffocation by reducing the available oxygen for
breathing. Breathing high concentrations of vapor may cause
light-headedness, giddiness, shortness of breath, confusion,
and may lead to narcosis, cardiac irregularities,
or unconsciousness. Inhalation of high concentrations in
a closely confined area may be fatal.
EYES: Liquid contact may irritate eyes.
SKIN: Not a corrosive however, repeated or prolonged exposure may irritate
skin.
INGESTION: No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not
likely to be hazardous by ingestion. Consult a physician if
necessary. Do not induce vomiting because the hazard of aspirating
the material into the lungs is considered greater than swallowing
it.

Carcinogenicity : NTP- NE , IARC Monographs- NE , OSHA Regulated- NE
See Toxicology Section
================================================================================
Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors. If
victim has stopped breathing, give artificial respiration. Call for
prompt medical attention.
Eye Contact:
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes or until
irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing (including shoes) and wash before reuse.
Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. If
irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician. If conscious
and alert, give two glasses of water. Seek medical attention
immediately.
================================================================================
Section 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point & Method: NON-FLAMMABLE (TCC Method)
Flammable Limits: LEL: NE UEL: NE
Autoignition Temperature:
GENERAL HAZARD:
Containers can build pressure and burst in fire situations.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Fire fighters should wear self contained, positive-pressure breathing
apparatusand avoid contact with fumes which could contain hydochloric
and hydrofluoric acid.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT:
Water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Smoke, fumes and oxides of carbon. Hydroflouric and hydrochloric
compounds.
================================================================================
Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LAND SPILL:
Evacuate area. Ventilate area well and avoid breathing vapors. Vapor
concentration will be highest along floor and in low lying areas. Pick up
liquid on suitable absorbent and store in sealed metal containers.
Shut off fire sources. Workers should wear proper equipment to work in
clean up area. Unprotected personell should move upwind.
WATER SPILL:
================================================================================
Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Ambient
STORAGE PRESSURE: Atmospheric
GENERAL:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in cool, well ventilated
place out of direct sunlight and away from incompatible materials.
(See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Section 10.) Follow all MSD Sheet and
Label warnings even after container is emptied.
================================================================================
Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
(X) Local Exhaust ventilation acceptable.
(X) Mechanical ventilation recommended.
( ) Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
(X) Do not use in confined spaces without mechanical ventilation
equipment.
See section 2 for component exposure guidelines.
Personal Protection:
RESPIRATOR:
If concentrations are over the exposure limit and are known, air
purifying respirator with Organic Vapor Cartridges may be acceptable.
Refer to cartridges for acceptable levels. If concentrations are
over exposure limit and are unknown, use a supplied air respirator.
HAND PROTECTION:
(X) Gloves recommended
(X) Solvex (X) Neoprene
(X) Butyl ( ) Buna
( ) Natural Latex ( ) Cotton/Jersey
EYE PROTECTION:
(X) Safety Glasses ( ) Chemical Goggles ( ) Full Face Shield
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
( ) Rubber Boots ( ) Splash-proof chemical resistant suit/apron

Neither HCFC-225ca or HCFC-225cb causes eye irritation and dermal
toxicity. In 28-day inhalation studies with rat, the activity and
responsiveness of the animals was reduces at 5,000ppm or greater with each
isomer. Toxicity was otherwise confined to the liver; liver enlargement and
induction of peroxisomes was seen following treatment with either isomer.
HCFC-225ca was more potent then HCFC-225cb in eliciting these liver effects.
In 28-day study with marmoset, exposure to HCFC-225ca at 1000ppm caused
effects on the liver, such as slight fat depositionassociated with changes in
serum biochemical parameters. In the same study, exposure to HCFC-225cb at
5,00ppm caused somnolence during exposure and an increase of cytochrome P-450,
indicative an adaptive response to HCFC-225cb. However, no liver enlargement
was seen and virtually no peroxisome induction was observed in either isomer.
The compounds do not produce genetic damage in bacterial cell cultures or
with CHL; however in one study withmammalian cell cultures (human lymphocytes)
HCFC-225ca caused damage while HCFC-225cb elicited a marginal response.
