[General Description]

CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) is a colorless odorless gas with an ether-like odor. CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) is noncombustible. CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) to rupture violently and rocket.
[Reactivity Profile]

CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE is incompatible with the following: Alkalis, alkaline earth metals (e.g., aluminum powder, sodium, potassium, zinc) .
[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.
[Potential Exposure]

This material is used as a refrigerant; as a dielectric gas; and as a propellant in aerosol food preparations.
[Fire Hazard]

Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket.
[First aid]

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. If frostbite has occurred, seek medical attention immediately; do NOT rub the affected areas or flush them with water. In order to prevent further tissue damage, do NOT attempt to remove frozen clothing from frostbitten areas. If frostbite has NOT occurred, immediately and thoroughly wash contaminated skin with soap and water
[Shipping]

UN1020 Chloropentafluoroethane or Refrigerant gas R-115, Hazard Class: 2.2; Labels: 2.2-Nonflammable compressed gas. Cylinders must be transported in a secure upright position, in a well-ventilated truck. Protect cylinder and labels from physical damage. The owner of the compressed gas cylinder is the only entity allowed by federal law (49CFR) to transport and refill them. It is a violation of transportation regulations to refill compressed gas cylinders without the express written permission of the owner.
[Incompatibilities]

Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong bases (alkalis), alkaline earth metals (e.g., aluminum powder, sodium, potassium, zinc), and beryllium. Keep away from open flames; decomposes forming toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride and HF.

[Definition]

ChEBI: 1-Chloro-1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoroethane is an organofluorine compound and an organochlorine compound.
[storage]

Color Code—Green: General storage may be used.Prior to working with chloropentafluoroethane you shouldbe trained on its proper handling and storage. Before entering confined space where this chemical may be present,check to make sure that sufficient oxygen (19%) exists.Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilatedarea away from metals, including aluminum, zinc, and beryllium; and from open flames or temperatures above 52℃/125F. Procedures for the handling, use, and storage ofcylinders should be in compliance with OSHA 1910.101and 1910.169, as with the recommendations of theCompressed Gas Association
