Product Description
Chinese Name : HFC-227 Fire Extinguishing Agent
Product Name in English : HFC-227 Fire Extinguishing Agent
Synonyms: 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane, 2H-Heptafluoropropane
Chemical Name: 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane
Formula: CF3CHFCF3.
Chemical Nature : Substance
Hazardous Classification: Class 2.2 Compressed Gas and Non-combustible Gas.
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin contact.
Adverse Human Effects: Symptoms similar to oxygen deprivation (headache, nausea, dizziness or loss of consciousness) may result from overexposure by inhalation. Heart irregularities such as irregular pulse or heart palpitations may indicate cardiac sensitivity.
Environmental Effects: No known effect.
Combustion/Explosion Hazards: No known effect.
Eyes: Rinse thoroughly with water, also under the eyelids. Consult a physician.
Skin: Flush with water; if frostbite occurs,get medical attention.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary.
Antidotes: No information available
Notes to Physicians and/or Protection for First-Aiders: The use of epinephrine or similar compounds can increase susceptibility to heart irregularities caused by excessive exposure to these types of compounds.
Nature of Hazard: Nonflammable gas. Although containers of our product are provided with pressure and temperature relief devices, containers can rupture if exposed to localized heat. Thermal decomposition will generate toxic and corrosive gases.
Hazardous Products of Combustion: Decomposition by elevated temperatures (fire conditions, glowing metal surfaces) may generate hazardous decomposition products common to other CFCs, HCFCs or HBFCs. These can include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and others.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Keep cylinders cool with a water spray applied from a safe distance. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus if containers rupture or release under fire conditions. Do not allow reentry into areas where this material has been released without first ventilating to remove products of combustion/decomposition.
Accidental Release Measures: Evacuate the area and ventilate. Do not enter areas where high concentrations may exist (especially confined or poorly ventilated areas) without appropriate protective equipment including a selfcontained breathing apparatus.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere is proved to be safe. Ensure adequate air ventilation.
Environmental Precautions : Try to stop release.Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous.
Precautions for Protection of the Environment: Prevent discharges into the environment (atmosphere,...).
Handling: Use the same type of precautions as would be used in handling any cryogenic gas. Protect container from damage. Handle in wellventilated areas. When this material is used as a firefighting agent in fixed or portable extinguishing systems, follow manufacturer's instructions for operation, inspection, maintenance and repair of the system.
Storage: Store in a cool,dry,well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Keep container tightly closed.Keep at temperature not exceeding 52ºC.
Authorized Limit Values: 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane
US TWA = 1,000 ppm
CHINA MAC: No information available.
Engineering Controls: Provide local ventilation suitable for the product decomposition risk.
Respiratory Protection: Minimum need if the local exhaust ventilation is adequate. Self-contained breathing apparatus in medium confinement/insufficient oxygen/in case of large uncontrolled emissions/in all circumstances when the mask and cartridge do not give adequate protection.
Hand Protection: Protective gloves - chemical resistant.
Eye Protection: Wear protective goggles for all industrial operations. If risk of splashing, chemical proof goggles/face shield.
Skin Protection: Impervious apron/boots if risk of splashing.
Other Precautions: Shower and eye wash stations. Gloves, overalls and boots have to be double layered (protection against cold temperature).Consult the industrial hygienist or the safety manager for the selection of personal protective equipment suitable for the working conditions.
