R-410A
RIVOIRA SpA
Preparation
Contains the following components :
Difluoromethane (R32) 50 % in weight
Pentafluoroethane (R125)
Non-applicable for mixtures
/ /
Liquefied gas .
The vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation, reducing the oxygen available for bre-
athing .
Rapid evaporation of the fluid can cause freezing .
Can cause cardiac arrhythmia .
Do not administer anything if the person has fainted .
Take the person outdoors . Use oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary .
Do not administer adrenaline or similar substances .
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor .
Wash immediately with plenty of water . Immediately remove all contaminated garments .
Increase in pressure .
Halogen acids, traces of carbonyl halides .
All the known fire-extinguishing means can be used .
Cool the containers/tanks with water sprays .
Use self-contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces .
Evacuate personnel to safe areas . Provide for adequate ventilation . Use personal protection
equipment
It evaporates .
It evaporates .
Ensure an adequate air change and/or extraction in the workplaces . Only use well-ventilated rooms .
Do not breathe vapours or aerosols . Carefully close the containers and keep them in a cool, dry and
well-ventilated place . Keep in the original containers .
Explosives, flammable materials, organic peroxides .
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in closed areas .
Difluoromethane (R32): Recommended exposure limits: AEL (8h and 12h TWA) = 1000 ml/m3
Pentafluoroethane (R125): Recommended exposure limits: AEL (8h and 12h TWA) = 1000 ml/m3
For rescue and for maintenance works in tanks, use self-contained breathing apparatus . The vapours
are heavier than air and can cause suffocation, reducing the oxygen available for breathing .
Total protection glasses .
Rubber gloves .
Do not smoke .
Heavier than air .
Not known, but deemed very low .
Colourless liquefied gas .
Similar to ether .
Does not ignite .
No decomposition if used according to the special instructions .
Alkali metals, alkali-earth metals, granulated metal salts, Al, Zn, Be, etc . in powder .
Halogen acids, traces of carbonyl halides .
Concentrations substantially above the value TLV (1000 ppm) can cause narcotic effects . Inhalation
of highly concentrated products of decomposition can cause respiratory insufficiency (pulmonary
oedema) .
No carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic effects have been recorded in experiments on animals .
Rapid evaporation of the fluid can cause freezing . Can cause cardiac arrhythmia .
Pentafluoroethane (R125)
Potential global warming with halocarbides; HGWP (R-11 = 1) = 0 .84
Potential impoverishment of the ozone; ODP (R-11 = 1) = 0
