Safety Data Sheet

R-410A

1. CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION

PRODUCT NAME: R-410A

OTHER NAME: Difluoromethane, Pentafluoroethane

USE: Refrigerant Gas

DISTRIBUTOR: National Refrigerants, Inc.

661 Kenyon Avenue

Bridgeton, New Jersey 08302

FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL: IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CALL:

(Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm) CHEMTREC: 1-800-424-9300

1-800-262-0012

2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

CLASSIFICATION: Gases under pressure, Liquefied Gas

SIGNAL WORD: WARNING

HAZARD STATEMENT: Contains gas under pressure, may explode if heated

SYMBOL: Gas Cylinder

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT: STORAGE: Protect from sunlight, store in a well ventilated place

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable

material. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and

cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined

spaces. At higher temperatures, (>250C), decomposition products may include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and

carbonyl halides.

POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS

SKIN: Irritation would result from a defatting action on tissue. Liquid contact could cause frostbite.

EYES: Liquid contact can cause severe irritation and frostbite. Mist may irritate.

INHALATION: R-410A is low in acute toxicity in animals. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14% by

displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper

respiration will occur. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur.

INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely because of the low boiling point of the material. Should it occur, discomfort in

the gastrointestinal tract from rapid evaporation of the material and consequent evolution of gas

would result. Some effects of inhalation and skin exposure would be expected.

DELAYED EFFECTS: None known.

R-410A 3. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS INGREDIENT NAME Difluoromethane Pentafluoroethane CAS NUMBER 75-10-5 354-33-6 WEIGHT % 50 50 COMMON NAME and SYNONYMS R-410A; HFC410A There are no impurities or stabilizers that contribute to the classification of the material identified in Section 2 4. FIRST AID MEASURES SKIN: Promptly flush skin with water until all chemical is removed. If there is evidence of frostbite, bathe (do not rub) with lukewarm (not hot) water.

R-410A UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: R-410A is not flammable at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure. However, this material will become combustible when mixed with air under pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources. Contact with certain reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic reactions under specific conditions (e.g. very high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures).
PAGE 4
R-410A neoprene or butyl rubber should be used. Any contaminated clothing should be promptly removed and washed before reuse. EYE PROTECTION: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear chemical safety goggles. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None generally required for adequately ventilated work situations.

R-410A AUTO IGNITION TEMP: >750˚C DECOMPOSITION TEMPERATURE: >250˚C VISCOSITY: Not applicable FLASH POINT: Not applicable (Flash point method and additional flammability data are found in Section 5.) 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY NORMALLY STABLE? (CONDITIONS TO AVOID): The product is stable. Do not mix with oxygen or air above atmospheric pressure. Any source of high temperature, such as lighted cigarettes, flames, hot spots or welding may yield toxic and/or corrosive decomposition products.
