UNICOOL R 410A

Following exposure to gas, remove the patient from the gas source or contaminated area. NOTE: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus may be required to assure the safety of the rescuer. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block the airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. If the patient is not breathing spontaneously, administer rescue breathing. If the patient does not have a pulse, administer CPR. If medical oxygen and appropriately trained personnel are available, administer 100% oxygen. Summon an emergency ambulance. If an ambulance is not available, contact a physician, hospital, or Poison Control Centre for further instruction. Keep the patient warm, comfortable and at rest while awaiting medical care. MONITOR THE BREATHING AND PULSE, CONTINUOUSLY. Administer rescue breathing (preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask-device, or pocket mask as trained) or CPR if necessary.

If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. In case of cold burns (frost-bite): Move casualty into warmth before thawing the affected part; if feet are affected carry if possible. Bathe the affected area immediately in luke-warm water (not more than 35 deg C) for 10 to 15 minutes, immersing if possible and without rubbing. Apply a clean, dry, light dressing of “fluffed-up” dry gauze bandage. If a limb is involved, raise and support this to reduce swelling. If an adult is involved and where intense pain occurs provide pain killers such as paracetomol. Transport to hospital, or doctor.

Symptoms: Irritation. Subsequent blackening of the exposed tissue indicates potential of necrosis, which may require amputation.

If product comes in contact with eyes remove the patient from gas source or contaminated area. Take the patient to the nearest eye wash, shower or other source of clean water. Open the eyelid(s) wide to allow the material to evaporate. Gently rinse the affected eye(s) with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Have the patient lie or sit down and tilt the head back. Hold the eyelid(s) open and pour water slowly over the eyeball(s) at the inner corners, letting the water run out of the outer corners. The patient may be in great pain and wish to keep the eyes closed. It is important that the material is rinsed from the eyes to prevent further damage. Ensure that the patient looks up, and side to side as the eye is rinsed in order to better reach all parts of the eye(s). Transport to hospital or doctor. Even when no pain persists and vision is good, a doctor should examine the eye as delayed damage may occur. If the patient cannot tolerate light, protect the eyes with a clean, loosely tied bandage. Ensure verbal communication and physical contact with the patient.

Not considered a normal route of entry. Avoid giving milk or oils. Avoid giving alcohol. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Administer activated charcoal, if available. Perform gastric lavage only if the ingestion was very large and recent (less than 30 minutes).

Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. For large fires, cool cylinder.

Do not direct water at source of leak or venting safety devices as icing may occur.

Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result. Containers may explode when heated - Ruptured cylinders may rocket. Fire exposed containers may vent contents through pressure relief devices. High concentrations of gas may cause asphyxiation without warning. May decompose explosively when heated or involved in fire. Contact with gas may cause burns, severe injury and/ or frostbite. Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions. Vented gas is more dense than air and may collect in pits, basements.

Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Fight fire from a safe distance, with adequate cover. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. DO NOT approach cylinders suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed cylinders with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove cylinders from path of fire.

Avoid breathing vapour and any contact with liquid or gas. Protective equipment including respirator should be used. DO NOT enter confined spaces where gas may have accumulated. Increase ventilation. Clear area of personnel. Stop leak only if safe to so do. Remove leaking cylinders to safe place.

Clear area of all unprotected personnel and move upwind. Alert Emergency Authority and advise them of the location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus and protective gloves. Prevent by any means available, spillage from entering drains and water-courses. Consider evacuation. Increase ventilation. No smoking or naked lights within area. Remove leaking cylinders to a safe place. Fit vent pipes. Release pressure under safe, controlled conditions - Burn issuing gas at vent pipes. DO NOT exert excessive pressure on valve; DO NOT attempt to operate damaged valve.

See section 12. Prevent by any means available, spillage from entering drains and water-courses.

Remove leaking cylinders to safe place. Burn issuing gas at vent pipes.

- Consider use in closed pressurised systems, fitted with temperature, pressure and safety relief valves which are vented for safe dispersal. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature - The tubing network design connecting gas cylinders to the delivery system should include appropriate pressure indicators and vacuum or suction lines. - Fully-welded types of pressure gauges, where the bourdon tube sensing element is welded to the gauge body, are recommended. - Before connecting gas cylinders, ensure manifold is mechanically secure and does not containing another gas. Before disconnecting gas cylinder, isolate supply line segment proximal to cylinder, remove trapped gas in supply line with aid of vacuum pump - When connecting or replacing cylinders take care to avoid airborne particulates violently ejected when system pressurises. - Consider the use of doubly-contained piping; diaphragm or bellows sealed, soft seat valves; backflow prevention devices; flash arrestors; and flow monitoring or limiting devices. Gas cabinets, with appropriate exhaust treatment, are recommended, as is automatic monitoring of the secondary enclosures and work areas for release. - DO NOT transfer gas from one cylinder to another.

Cylinders should be stored in a purpose-built compound with good ventilation, preferably in the open. Such compounds should be sited and built in accordance with statutory requirements. The storage compound should be kept clear and access restricted to authorised personnel only. Cylinders stored in the open should be protected against rust and extremes of weather. Cylinders in storage should be properly secured to prevent toppling or rolling. Cylinder valves should be closed when not in use. Where cylinders are fitted with valve protection this should be in place and properly secured. DO NOT store halogenated aliphatics in areas containing alkali or alkaline earth metals such as powdered aluminum, zinc, or beryllium.

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

Butyl rubber gloves. Butyl rubber gloves should be used when handling halogenated aliphatics. Nitrile, PVC-coated nitrile, and PVC protective equipment are not recommended. When handling sealed and suitably insulated cylinders wear cloth or leather gloves. Insulated gloves: NOTE: Insulated gloves should be loose fitting so that may be removed quickly if liquid is spilled upon them. Insulated gloves are not made to permit hands to be placed in the liquid; they provide only short-term protection from accidental contact with the liquid.

Chemical goggles. Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable.

Type AX Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent). Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important. Required minimum protection factors and corresponding maximum gas/vapour concentrations for half-face and full-face respirators are provided, including AX-AUS / Class 1, AX-2, AX-3, and Airline respirators. Filter types include: A (Organic vapours), B AUS or B1 (Acid gasses), B2 (Acid gas or hydrogen cyanide(HCN)), B3 (Acid gas or hydrogen cyanide(HCN)), E (Sulfur dioxide(SO2)), G (Agricultural chemicals), K (Ammonia(NH3)), Hg (Mercury), NO (Oxides of nitrogen), MB (Methyl bromide), AX (Low boiling point organic compounds(below 65 degC)). Cartridge respirators should never be used for emergency ingress or in areas of unknown vapour concentrations or oxygen content. Wearers must leave contaminated areas immediately on detecting odours. Cartridge performance is affected by humidity; cartridges should be changed after 2 hr of continuous use unless humidity is less than 75%, in which case, they can be used for 4 hr. Used cartridges should be discarded daily. Positive pressure, full face, air-supplied breathing apparatus should be used for work in enclosed spaces if a leak is suspected or primary containment is to be opened. Air-supplied breathing apparatus is required where release of gas from primary containment is either suspected or demonstrated.

Butyl rubber gloves should be used when handling halogenated aliphatics. Nitrile, PVC-coated nitrile, and PVC protective equipment are not recommended. When handling sealed and suitably insulated cylinders wear cloth or leather gloves. Insulated gloves should be loose fitting so that may be removed quickly if liquid is spilled upon them; they provide only short-term protection from accidental contact with the liquid.
