1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Dichlorodifluoroethylene is a colorless gas orliquid. Molecular weight = 132.93; Boiling point = 21.1℃.Reacts with water.

Chemical Properties

Dichlorodifluoro-ethylene is a colorless gas or liquid.

General Description

1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE is a liquid material, which may cause illness from inhalation. When heated to high temperatures 1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE may decompose and emit toxic fumes. When in contact with water or steam 1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE may produce additional fumes that can cause illness from inhalation. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since 1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE is a liquid 1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams.

Air & Water Reactions

When in contact with water or steam 1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE may produce fumes that can cause illness from inhalation.

Reactivity Profile

1,2-DICHLORO-1,2-DIFLUOROETHYLENE is chemically inert in many situations, but can react violently with strong reducing agents such as the very active metals and the active metals. Can react with strong oxidizing agents or weaker oxidizing agents under extremes of temperature.

Potential Exposure

A potential danger to those involved in the manufacture of this compound or its use in the synthesis of fluorochemicals. Used for chemical research and development purposes

First aid

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. Ifthis chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. If victim is conscious, administer water ormilk. Do not induce vomiting. Medical observation isrecommended for 2448 h after breathing overexposure, aspulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic mayconsider administering a corticosteroid spray.including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped andCPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to amedical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed,get medical attention. Give large quantities of water andinduce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious personvomit.

storage

Color Code—Green: General storage may be used.Prior to working with this chemical you should be trainedon its proper handling and storage. On contact with wateror steam, dichlorodifluoroethylene produces highly toxicand corrosive fumes. Store in tightly closed containers in acool, dry area.

Shipping
