| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A nonflammable gas. Heavier than air. May asphyxiate by the displacement of air in confined spaces. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire can cause PENTAFLUOROETHANE(354-33-6) to rupture violently and rocket. | [Reactivity Profile]
PENTAFLUOROETHANE may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. May be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. | [Health Hazard]
Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | [Fire Hazard]
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. | [Chemical Properties]
colourless gas | [Chemical Properties]
Pentafluoroethane has a light ethereal odor with poor warning
properties. | [Uses]
HFC 125s main application is as a high-pressure refrigerant.
It has also found use as a total flooding fire-extinguishing
agent. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Safety Profile]
Low toxicity by inhalation. Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of Fí. |
