1,1-Difluoroethane

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

Flush eyes with water as a precaution.

Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very large quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray.

solid streams of water may be ineffective

Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.

Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).

Materials: sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite

Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Store in cool place. Contents under pressure.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

For prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves.

Face shield and safety glasses

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Heat, flames and sparks.

Strong oxidizing agents, Magnesium, Aluminum, and its alloys, Brass, Steel (all types and surface treatments)

Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. - Carbon oxides, Hydrogen fluoride

Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber

Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material.
