General Description
CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) is a colorless odorless gas with an ether-like odor. CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) is noncombustible. CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE(76-15-3) to rupture violently and rocket.
Reactivity Profile
CHLOROPENTAFLUOROETHANE is incompatible with the following: Alkalis, alkaline earth metals (e.g., aluminum powder, sodium, potassium, zinc) .
Health Hazard
Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Potential Exposure
This material is used as a refrigerant;
as a dielectric gas; and as a propellant in aerosol food
preparations.
Fire Hazard
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket.
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.
If frostbite has occurred, seek medical attention immediately; do NOT rub the affected areas or flush them
with water. In order to prevent further tissue damage,
do NOT attempt to remove frozen clothing from frostbitten
areas. If frostbite has NOT occurred, immediately and thoroughly wash contaminated skin with soap and water
Shipping
UN1020 Chloropentafluoroethane or Refrigerant
gas R-115, Hazard Class: 2.2; Labels: 2.2-Nonflammable
compressed gas. Cylinders must be transported in a secure
upright position, in a well-ventilated truck. Protect cylinder
and labels from physical damage. The owner of the compressed gas cylinder is the only entity allowed by federal
law (49CFR) to transport and refill them. It is a violation of transportation regulations to refill compressed gas cylinders without the express written permission of the owner.
Incompatibilities
Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong
bases (alkalis), alkaline earth metals (e.g., aluminum powder, sodium, potassium, zinc), and beryllium. Keep away
from open flames; decomposes forming toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride and HF.

storage
Color Code—Green: General storage may be used.Prior to working with chloropentafluoroethane you shouldbe trained on its proper handling and storage. Before entering confined space where this chemical may be present,check to make sure that sufficient oxygen (19%) exists.Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilatedarea away from metals, including aluminum, zinc, and beryllium; and from open flames or temperatures above 52℃/125F. Procedures for the handling, use, and storage ofcylinders should be in compliance with OSHA 1910.101and 1910.169, as with the recommendations of theCompressed Gas Association
