Chemical Properties
CFC 114 is a colorless gas with a faint, ethereal odor at high concentrations. A liquid below
3.3_x0003_°C/38°F. Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas
General Description
Colorless gas with a faint, ether-like odor at high concentrations. Boiling point 38°F. Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.
Reactivity Profile
dichlorotetrafluoroethane is incompatible with the following: Chemically-active metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, powdered aluminum, zinc & magnesium; acids; acid fumes .
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.
Fire Hazard
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket.
Safety Profile
A ddly toxic irritant;
narcotic in high concentrations. An
asphyxiant. Reacts violently with alcohol.
When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic fumes of Fand Cl-
Potential Exposure
This material is used as a refrigerant
and also as a propellant gas
Shipping
UN1958. 1,2-Dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane
or Refrigerant gas R-114, 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 welding and hot
metals; decomposes, forming hydrogen chloride and
hydrogen fluoride. Reacts with acids and acid fumes forming highly toxic chloride gases. Keep away from chemically active metals: sodium, potassium, calcium,
powdered aluminum; zinc, and magnesium. Attacks some
plastics and coatings.
Waste Disposal
Return refillable compressed
gas cylinders to supplier. Incineration after mixing with
combustible fuel. Use flue gas scrubber.
