Flammable Properties
Flash Point : Will not burn
Autodecomposition : 632 C (1170 F)
Other burning materials may cause "FREON" 22 to burn weakly.
Chlorodifluoromethane is not flammable at ambient
temperatures and atmospheric pressure. However,
chlorodifluoromethane has been shown in tests to be
combustible at pressures as low as 60 psig at ambient
temperature when mixed with air at concentrations of 65
volume % air. Experimental data have also been reported
which indicate combustibility of "FREON" 22 in the presence
of certain concentrations of chlorine.
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Cylinders may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition
may occur.
Extinguishing Media
As appropriate for combustibles in area. Extinguishant
for other burning material in area is sufficient to stop
burning.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Use water spray or fog to cool containers. Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if cylinders rupture
