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.

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 any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit
