Notes on Chlorotrifluoroethylene

Chlorotrifluoroethylene can be mixed with air to form explosive mixtures and exposure to open flames and high heat can cause combustion and explosion. Under high temperature conditions, the pressure inside the container increases and there is a risk of rupture and explosion.

Chloro-Trifluoroethylene extinguishing method:Cut off the gas source. If the gas source cannot be cut off immediately, do not allow the burning gas to be extinguished. Spray water to cool the container and, if possible, move the container from the scene of the fire to an open area. Misty water. Heavier than air and tends to collect in low places. Vapours can spread over great distances, carrying the source of the fire to catch fire and cause re-ignition. Storage containers and their components can fly very far in all directions. If substances or contaminated liquids enter watercourses, notify potential water contamination downstream users, local health and fire officials and pollution control authorities. Cool exposed containers with water spray beyond the safe explosion-proof distance. If cooling water does not work, evacuate to a safe area immediately.

Storage and transportation precautions for chlorotrifluoroethylene: Store in a cool, ventilated place. The temperature of the warehouse should not exceed 30°C. Keep away from sources of fire and heat. Avoid direct sunlight. It should be stored separately from oxidising agents, flammable and combustible materials. The lighting and ventilation in the warehouse are explosion-proof and the switches are located outside the warehouse. Appropriate varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment are provided. The use of spark-prone machinery and tools is prohibited. Attention is paid to product names, bottle inspection dates and use of the warehouse. Pay attention to loading and unloading during transportation to prevent damage to cylinders and accessories.

First aid for chlorotrifluoroethylene.

Skin contact:If skin has frostbite, bathe in warm water, then apply frostbite cream and wrap in antiseptic emery cloth. See a doctor. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact between chlorotrifluoroethylene and liquefied gas, reheat the contact part by immersing it in warm water. Keep patient warm and quiet. Or inhalation may cause delayed reaction. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of personal protection in relation to the substance and are aware of self-protection.
