EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Product Description: Halon 1301 is colorless and odorless or with a slightly ethereal odor and is
shipped as liquid under its own vapor pressure. Health Hazards: The main acute health hazard associated with releases of this gas
is asphyxiation by displacement of oxygen. This gas is heavier than air and will sink into low areas, creating an asphyxiation hazard.
The main chronic health hazard associated with releases of this gas is possible adverse effects to the central nervous system and
possible cardiac sensitization and arrhythmias. Chronic skin exposure may cause dermatitis. Flammability Hazards: This gas is not
flammable, but can decompose at very high temperatures forming toxic gases such as hydrogen bromide, hydrogen fluoride and
bromine. Cylinders or tanks may rupture and explode if heated. Reactivity Hazards: This material is not reactive. Environmental
Hazards: This gas is a known ozone depletor and contributes to the destruction of the ozone. Emergency Response
Considerations: Emergency responders must wear the proper personal protective equipment suitable for the situation to which they
are responding. WARNING—If rescue personnel need to enter an area suspected of having a low level of Oxygen, they should be
equipped with Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate personal protective equipment.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

PROTECTION OF FIRST AID RESPONDERS: RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF
EXPOSURE TO THIS GAS WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus should be worn if the level of oxygen cannot be determined. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention, if
necessary. Only trained personnel should administer supplemental oxygen and/or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, if
necessary.
DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES: Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible. Take copy of label and
SDS to physician or other health professional with victim(s).
Inhalation Exposure: If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions. Seek
medical attention if adverse effect occurs after removal to fresh air.
Skin Exposure: If this gas contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with running water. Minimum flushing is
for 20 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Victim must seek immediate
medical attention. Remove any clothing that may restrict circulation to any frozen area. Do not rub frozen parts as tissue
damage may occur. As soon as practicable, place any affected area in warm water bath which has a temperature that does
not exceed 105°F (40°C). NEVER USE HOT WATER. NEVER USE DRY HEAT. If area of frostbite is extensive, and if
possible, remove clothing while showering with warm water. If warm water is not available, or is impractical to use, wrap the
affected parts gently in blankets. Alternatively, if the fingers or hands are frostbitten, place the affected area of the body in the
armpit. Encourage victim to gently exercise the affected part while being warmed. Frozen tissue is painless and appears waxy,
with a possible yellow color. Frozen tissue will become swollen, painful and prone to infection when thawed. If the frozen part
of the body has been thawed by the time medical attention has been obtained, cover the area with a dry sterile dressing and a
large bulky protective covering.
Eye Exposure: If mechanical injury occurs, cover eye with bandage and seek appropriate medical attention. If rapid release has
caused frostbite, cover injured eye; an ophthalmologist should be sought as soon as possible.
Ingestion: Ingestion is an unlikely route of exposure for this gas.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: None are anticipated.
INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT IF NEEDED: Administer oxygen, if
necessary, and treat symptoms. This gas is an asphyxiant and can induce cardiac muscle sensitization to circulating epinephrine-
like compounds. Do NOT give adrenalin or similar sympathomimetic drugs. Do NOT allow victim to exercise until 24 hours
following specific exposures. Freeze burns of mucosal tissue can develop following specific exposures.
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Not Applicable NFPA RATING
AUTOIGNITION: Not Applicable
FLAMMABILITY
FLAMMABLE RANGE: Not Applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: This is a non-flammable gas; use fire-extinguishing media
appropriate for the surrounding materials. 0
UNSUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: None known.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: HEALTH 2 1 INSTABILITY
Bromotrifluoromethane is not combustible. Bromotrifluoromethane, in ambient total-
flooding fire extinguishing systems can produce a dense fog (if relative humidity is
about 50%) which may reduce visibility for a few seconds and delay evacuation in
occupational areas. Containers, when involved in fire, may rupture or burst in the heat of
the fire. Most cylinders have a pressure release device, which will vent contents if the
OTHER
cylinder is exposed to high temperatures. This gas is heavier than air, creating an
asphyxiation hazard in low areas.
EXPLOSION SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: Not sensitive. Hazard Scale: 0 = Minimal 1 = Slight 2 = Moderate
3 = Serious 4 = Severe
EXPLOSION SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: Not sensitive.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Combustion or decomposition products above 538°C (1000.4°F) irritating/toxic
gases such as hydrogen bromide, hydrogen fluoride and bromine may be generated. These by-products have a sharp irritating
odor and are dangerous even in low concentrations and in sufficient concentrations can result in personal injury or death.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS: Move fire-exposed containers if it can be done without risk to
firefighters. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed cylinders. Take care not to block pressure relief valves. Stay away from ends of
tanks (but realize that shrapnel may travel in any direction). Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety
device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Evacuate immediate area. Uncontrolled releases should
be responded to by trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and
spread along ground, creating an oxygen-deficient atmosphere is low-lying areas or confined spaces. Detection systems should be
available to monitor for level of oxygen. The level of oxygen should above 19.5% before personnel can be allowed in the area without
SCBA.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Proper protective equipment should be used.
All Releases: Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Note:
chemically protective clothing may provide little or no thermal protection against the hazard of frostbite. The atmosphere must at
least 19.5 percent Oxygen before non-emergency personnel can be allowed in the area without Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus and fire protection. If gas is leaking incidentally from the cylinder or its valve, contact your supplier.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (Continued)
METHODS FOR CLEAN-UP AND CONTAINMENT:
All Releases: In the event of a release of this product, operator should close the gas source if possible to do so safely. Evacuate
area in the event of a significant release. Locate and seal the source of the leaking gas. If leak is in user’s gas handling equipment
or system, close cylinder valve, and safely vent high pressure before attempting repairs. If leak is from the cylinder, cylinder valve
or the valve pressure relief device (PRD), contact your supplier. If this does not stop the release (or if it is not possible to reach the
valve), allow the gas to release in-place or remove it to a safe area and allow the gas to be released there. Call CHEMTREC (1-
800-424-9300) for emergency assistance. Or if in Canada, call CANUTEC (613-996-6666).
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: All release to the environment should be avoided as this material has an ozone
depletion potential and a global warming potential. Run-off water may be contaminated by other materials and should be
contained to prevent possible environmental damage.
REFERENCE TO OTHER SECTIONS: See information in Section 8 (Exposure Controls – Personal Protection) and Section 13
(Disposal Considerations) for additional information.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING: Releases of Halon 1301 can create an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. Be aware of
any signs of dizziness or fatigue; exposures to fatal concentrations of Helium-3 could occur without any significant warning symptoms,
due to oxygen-deficiency. All work operations should be monitored in such a way that emergency personnel can be immediately
contacted in the event of a release. Wearing contact lenses is not recommended when handling this gas.
Cylinder valves should be inspected regularly for physical damage or corrosion (apparent by discoloration or rust). Care should be
taken to inspect the following valve locations for corrosion: neck (where valve inserts into cylinder); bonnet nut (where handle attaches
to valve body). Close valve after each use and when empty.
Do not drag, roll, slide or drop cylinder. Use a suitable hand truck designed for cylinder movement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by
its cap. Secure cylinders at all times while in use. Use a pressure regulator to safely discharge product from cylinder. Use a check
valve to prevent reverse flow into cylinder. Once cylinder has been connected to properly purged process, open cylinder valve slowly
and carefully. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never insert an object
(e.g., wrench, screwdriver, etc.) into valve cap openings; doing so may damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable
strap-wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps.
Do not heat cylinders by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the cylinder. Never apply flame or localized heat
directly to any part of the cylinder. Cylinders should not be artificially cooled as certain types of steel undergo property changes when
cryogenically cooled, thus making the cylinder unstable.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE: Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance with Compressed Gas
Association, Inc. at www.cganet.com pamphlet CGA P-1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may
require specific equipment for storage and use. Cylinders should be stored upright and be firmly secured to prevent falling or being
knocked-over. Cylinders can be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against extremes of weather and from the
dampness of the ground to prevent rusting. Cylinders should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas away from sources of heat, ignition
and direct sunlight. Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52°C (125°F). Store containers away from heavily
trafficked areas and emergency exits. Isolate from other non compatible chemicals (refer to Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Store
away from process and production areas, away from elevators, building and room exits or main aisles leading to exits. Protect
cylinders against physical damage. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory systems to
prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code cylinders designed for
compressed gas storage. Cylinders must not be recharged except by or with the consent of owner.
STANDARD VALVE CONNECTIONS FOR U.S. AND CANADA: Use the proper CGA connections, DO NOT USE
ADAPTERS:
PRODUCT USE: This product is used as a fire-extinguishing agent, refrigerant gas and as a cleaning agent.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in
Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Relieve pressure before attempting repairs.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

WARNING: Exposure to atmospheres containing 8–10% or less oxygen will bring about unconsciousness without warning
and so quickly that individuals cannot help or protect themselves. Lack of sufficient oxygen may cause serious injury or
death.
Skin Contact: Transitory skin contact should not cause any adverse effects.
Other Acute Health Effects: Contact with rapidly expanding gases (which are released from under high pressure) may cause
frostbite. Symptoms of frostbite include change in skin color to white or grayish-yellow. The pain caused by frostbite can quickly
subside, masking the injury. In addition, the sudden release of a pressurized gas (such as may occur in the event of a valve
failure), presents a severe hazard of mechanical injury.
Acute Exposure Target Organs: Respiratory system.
ROUTES OF ENTRY, SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Inhalation: No specific data are available for this gas. Chronic exposure to oxygen-deficient atmospheres (below 18% oxygen in air)
may affect the heart and nervous system. Inhalation of very high concentration may cause adverse effects on the central nervous
system.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis (dry, red, cracked skin) due to defatting of the skin.
Chronic Exposure Target Organs: Skin, cardiac system, central nervous system.
CARCINOGENIC POTENTIAL: Halon 1301 is not listed as a carcinogen or as a potential carcinogen on EPA, NIOSH, GERMAN

ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGICAL DATA:
Bromotrifluoromethane is low in toxicity. However, exposure to high concentrations (about 5-17% [50,000-170,000 ppm]) can
affect the central nervous system and cause light-headedness, numbness, tingling and a feeling of drunkenness. Other
symptoms reported include slight decrease in judgment, alertness or coordination, buzzing in the ears, and a feeling of gradual
loss of consciousness. There are no experimental or occupational reports of unconsciousness. Effects are temporary with rapid
recovery upon breathing fresh air. Exposure to high levels (over 15% [150,000 ppm] for 15 to 25 minutes) can cause irregular
heartbeat (arrhythmia).

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Continued)
ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGICAL DATA (continued):
Human volunteers exposed to concentrations of 1-10% (10,000 - 100,000 ppm) for 3.0 to 3.5 minutes did not experience heart
effects. Reports of occupational exposures to Bromotrifluoromethane are generally the result of accidental release from a total
flooding fire extinguishing system. Since most fire extinguishing systems only reach 5-7% (50,000-70,000 ppm)
Bromotrifluoromethane in air, effects should not develop.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: Not applicable.
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: Halon 1301 is not a human skin or respiratory sensitizer, but has been shown to be a cardiac
sensitizer in animal studies.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Halon 1301 is not reported to cause mutagenic, embryotoxic, teratogenic or
reproductive toxicity effects in humans. No animal data are available.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIs): Currently, Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) have not been determined for Halon
1301.
SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
MOBILITY: The Koc of Bromotrifluoromethane is estimated as 49, using a log Kow of 1.86 and a regression-derived equation.
According to a classification scheme, this estimated Koc value suggests that Bromotrifluoromethane is expected to have very high
mobility in soil.
PERSISTENCE AND BIODEGRADABILITY: If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.22X10+4 mm Hg at 25°C indicates
Bromotrifluoromethane will exist solely in the gas phase in the ambient atmosphere. Gas-phase Bromotrifluoromethane will be
degraded slowly in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life of this reaction in air
is estimated to be greater than 44 years. The primary decomposition process to occur in the stratosphere is UV photolysis. It has
an estimated photolysis half-life of 72 yrs in the ambient atmosphere. If released to soil, Bromotrifluoromethane is expected to have
very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 49. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate
process based upon a Henry's Law constant of 0.499 atm-cu m/mole. If released into water, Bromotrifluoromethane is not expected
to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in the water based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is
expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's Henry's Law constant. Estimated volatilization half-lives for
a model river and model lake are 1.2 hrs and 4.8 days, respectively. Based upon the high degree of stability,
Bromotrifluoromethane biodegradation is expected to be slow. Hydrolysis is not expected to occur due to the lack of hydrolyzable
functional groups.
POTENTIAL TO BIOACCUMULATE: An estimated BCF of 5.4 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic
organisms is low.
ECOTOXICITY: Immediate adverse effect on plants would be related to oxygen-deficient environments or frost from rapidly
