PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS SOLID OR WHITE POWDER.
PHYSICAL DANGERS:
CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes
on burning
producing toxic and corrosive fumes including nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV not established.
|
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation.
INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.
EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
The substance may have effects on the blood
, resulting in
formation of methaemoglobin.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.
In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in fish.
The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment.
Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.

N O T E S
|
|
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Consult, Hexafluron, Trueno are trade names.
