Following skin contact

ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes.

Following eye contact

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Inhalation of vapor causes slight intoxication, some shortness of breath. Liquid may cause frostbite of eyes or skin. (USCG, 1999)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Cover skin burns with sterile dressings after decontamination . Halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons and related compounds

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Vinyl fluoride, stabilized

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic hydrogen fluoride gas is generated in a fire. Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode. (USCG, 1999)

Special protective actions for fire-fighters

Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out. In other cases extinguish with powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

The substance may freely polymerize. Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic gases of hydrogen fluoride.

Chemical stability

no data available

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Ignites in presence of heat or source of ignition.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.VINYL FLUORIDE is light sensitive, peroxidizable monomer may initiate exothermic polymerization of the bulk material [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 958]. Sensitive to many oxidants.

Conditions to avoid

no data available

Incompatible materials

During ozonolysis of vinyl fluoride an explosive solid residue is produced, and the volatile ozonide, trapped at -63 deg C, may explode spontaneously or during removal by syringe.

Hazardous decomposition products

When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /hydrogen fluoride/.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

Acute toxicity

  • Oral: no data available
  • Inhalation: no data available
  • Dermal: no data available

Skin corrosion/irritation

no data available

Serious eye damage/irritation

no data available

Respiratory or skin sensitization

no data available

Germ cell mutagenicity

no data available

Carcinogenicity

Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of vinyl fluoride. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of vinyl fluoride. Overall evaluation: Vinyl fluoride is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). In making the overall evaluation, the working group took into account the following evidence: Vinyl fluoride is closely related structurally to the known carcinogen, vinyl chloride. The two chemicals cause the same rare tumor (hepatic hemangiosarcoma) in experimental animals, which is also a tumor caused by vinyl chloride in humans.

Reproductive toxicity

no data available

STOT-single exposure

The liquid may cause frostbite. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.

STOT-repeated exposure

This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.

Aspiration hazard

A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

Toxicity

  • Toxicity to fish: no data available
  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
  • Toxicity to algae: no data available
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

Persistence and degradability

no data available

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated for vinyl fluoride(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.19(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment.

Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for vinyl fluoride can be estimated to be 24(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that vinyl fluoride is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
