Fire Incompatibility
Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any contamination is potentially hazardous
Avoid storage with glass, cement, concrete and other silicon materials; reaction produces toxic silicon
tetrafluoride gas; which may pressurise and/or rupture containers.Avoid reaction withorganic materials /
compounds, powdered metals, reducing agentsandhydrogen sulfide (H2S)as ignition may result
Reacts with mild steel, galvanised steel / zinc producing hydrogen gas which may form an explosive mixture
with air.
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
Non combustible.
Not considered to be a significant fire risk.

Ingestion
Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory system, in
a substantial number of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to
a chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage.
Severely toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal experiments indicate that
ingestion of less than 5 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
Ingestion of acidic corrosives may produce circumoral burns with a distinct discolouration of the mucous
membranes of the mouth, throat and oesophagus.
Skin Contact
Eye
Chronic
Skin contact with the material may produce severely toxic effects; systemic effects may result following
absorption and these may be fatal.
Skin contact with acidic corrosives may result in pain and burns; these may be deep with distinct edges and may
heal slowly with the formation of scar tissue.
Direct eye contact with acid corrosives may produce pain, lachrymation, photophobia and burns. Mild burns of
the epithelia generally recover rapidly and completely.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to acids may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes
in the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial
pneumonia may ensue.

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This
may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can
occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound.
