Table 1 POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF FLUOROCARBON REFRIGERANTS
WARNING
!
Dryers contain HCFC. This substance harms the public health and environment by
destroying the ozone in the upper atmosphere.
CONDITION
VAPORS MAY DECOMPOSE IN
FLAMES OR IN CONTACT WITH
HOT SURFACES.
VAPORS ARE 4 TO 5 TIMES HEAVIER
THAN AIR. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
MAY TEND TO ACCUMULATE IN
LOW PLACES.
DELIBERATE INHALATION TO
PRODUCE INTOXICATION.
SOME FLUOROCARBON LIQUIDS
TEND TO REMOVE NATURAL OILS
FROM THE SKIN.
LOWER BOILING LIQUIDS MAY BE
SPLASHED ON SKIN.
