4.2 R134a gas chemical safety data sheet
PRODUCT NAME:
REFRIGERANT GAS R134a
COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
CAS No.: 000811-97-2
EEC No.: 212-377-0
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT(S)
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC 134a)
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Low acute toxicity. High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high
atmospheric concentrations may cause anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation.
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns to skin and eyes.
FIRST-AID MEASURES
The first aid advice given for skin contact, eye contact, and ingestion is applicable following exposures to the
liquid or spray. See also TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Inhalation: Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Administer oxygen if necessary.
Apply artificial respiration if breathing has ceased or shows signs of failing. In the event of cardiac arrest
apply external cardiac massage. Obtain immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Thaw affected areas with water. Remove contaminated clothing. Caution: clothing may
adhere to the skin in the case of freeze burns. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of warm
water. If irritation or blistering occur obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water, holding the eyelids apart, for at
least 10 minutes.
Obtain immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Unlikely route of exposure.
Do not induce vomiting. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water and give 200-300 ml
(half a pint) of water to drink. Obtain immediate medical attention.
Further Medical Treatment
Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy as indicated.
Adrenaline and similar sympathomimetic drugs should be avoided following exposure as cardiac arrhythmia
may result with possible subsequent cardiac arrest.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
This refrigerant is not flammable in air under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. Certain
mixtures of this refrigerant and air when under pressure may be flammable. Mixtures of this refrigerant and
air under pressure should be avoided.
Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions. Thermal
decomposition will evolve very toxic and corrosive vapors. (hydrogen fluoride)
Contains may burst if overheated.
