The chemical safety technical specification (Msds) for tetrafluoroethane (Tetrafluoroethane), which concerns the characteristics, hazards, protection and emergency response of this substance.

Tetrafluoroethane, a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure, has a slight ether fragrance. In the industrial field, it is mostly used as a refrigerant, foaming agent, etc. Its physical and chemical properties, boiling point -26.1 ° C, melting point -101 ° C, relative density (water = 1) 0.96.

Talking about hazards, although it is a low toxicity category, high concentration inhalation can cause central nervous system depression, dizziness, fatigue, and even coma. In case of hot topic, the pressure in the container increases, and there is a risk of cracking and explosion.

The way of protection, the workplace needs to be well ventilated. Practitioners should be in front of protective equipment, such as gas masks, protective gloves, etc.

Emergency response, if inhaled, quickly move to a fresh air place. If breathing is difficult, apply artificial respiration and seek medical attention. In case of leakage, emergency responders must wear protective equipment, quickly close the valve, strengthen ventilation, and do not allow fire to approach. Small leaks can be ventilated to disperse; large leaks, when building embankments or digging holes for containment, are transferred to a tanker or special collector with an explosion-proof pump.
