HAZARDS
IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential
Health Effects
Skin
contact may cause reddening of the skin.
Perfluoroalkylether
was not a skin irritant or skin
sensitizer
in a 100 person human patch test.
Based
on data from animal tests, eye contact may cause eye
irritation
with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision.
Inhalation
of fluorine containing compounds released as
decomposition
products from overheated or burning product
may
cause lung irritation and pulmonary edema which require
medical
treatment. Inhalation of fumes or smoke from
overheated
or burning grease may cause polymer fume fever, a
temporary
flu-like illness accompanied by fever, chills, and
sometimes
cough, of approximately 24 hours duration.
Repeated
episodes of polymer fume fever may cause lung
damage.

Information
None
of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal
to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as
a carcinogen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST
AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First
Aid
INHALATION
If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call
a physician.
SKIN
CONTACT
Flush
skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing
before
reuse.
EYE
CONTACT
In
case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for
at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses
of
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call
a physician.
Notes
to Physicians
Activated
charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare
activated
charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in
400
mL water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 mL/kg, or 350 mL
for
an average adult.

Decomposition
Heating
above 260-290 degC (500-554 degF) may form
potentially
toxic fluorine compounds. Depolymerization may
occur
in the presence of some metal oxides at temperatures
above
288 degC (550 degF). Decomposition occurs at
increasing
rates as temperature is raised above 355 degC
(670
degF).
Polymerization
Polymerization
will not occur.

TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Animal
Data
Perfluoroalkylether:
Inhalation
4 hour ALC: >19.54 mg/L in rats
Skin
Absorption ALD: >17,000 mg/kg in rabbits
Oral
ALD: >25,000 mg/kg in rats
Perfluoroalkylether
is a mild skin and eye irritant, but is
not
a skin sensitizer in tests on animals. A single
inhalation
exposure produced nonspecific effects such as
respiratory
irritation. Exposure to thermal decomposition
products
produced irritation, irregular respiration, tremors
and
increased liver weight. Repeated inhalation exposures
to
10, 100, or 1000 mg/m3 caused increased lung weights and
microscopic
particle-laden macrophages in the lungs and
lymphs
nodes; this was an expected pulmonary response to
high
aerosol concentrations of an inert material. No animal
test
reports are available to define carcinogenic,
developmental,
or reproductive hazards. Tests have shown
that
Perfluoroalkylether did not cause genetic damage in
bacterial
cell cultures.
