Section 1: Product Identification
Product Code: 402A - aerosol  Name: Super Duster 134 
Use: For removing microscopic dust. 

Section 2: Hazardous Ingredients:
CAS#  Chemical Name  Percentage by weight  ACGIH TWA  Osha Pel  Osha Stel 
811-97-2  1,1,1,2 - tetrafluoroethane  100  1000ppm  n/e  n/e 

Section 3: Hazards Identification
Eyes:  Contact with eye may cause severe tissue damage because of frostbite. 
Skin:  Contact with liquid or escaping vapor can cause frostbite, indicated by pallor or redness, loss of sensation, and swelling. 
Inhalation:  Low in toxicity in concentrations up to 40000ppm. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12% - 14% symptoms of asphyxiation will occur: loss of coordination, increased pulse rate, and deeper respiration.
Ingestion:  Aspiration hazard. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. 
Chronic:  Over exposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. 

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eyes:  Immediately bathe (do not rub) any frostbite with lukewarm (not hot) water. In the absence of water, cover with soft wool or other suitable material. Contact a physician for any low temperature burns from liquid contact. 
Skin:  Immediately bathe (do not rub) any frostbite with lukewarm (not hot) water. In the absence of water, cover with soft wool or other suitable material. Contact a physician for any low temperature burns from liquid contact. 
Inhalation:  Immediately remove from exposure to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 
Ingestion:  Improbable due to low boiling point (-40.8C) 

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Autoignition Temperature  >750C  Flash Point  n/a  LEL / UEL  n/a 
Extinguishing Media:  Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. 
General Information:  This material may become flammable when mixed with air under pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. 
 
NFPA Ratings:  Health  Flammability  Reactivity

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill Procedure: Avoid breathing vapors. Ventilate area thoroughly.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling:  Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not inhale. Do not expose container to heat or flame. 
Storage:  Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from incompatible substances. 

Section 8: Exposure Controls
Routes of entry:  Eyes, ingestion, inhalation, and skin. 
Ventilation:  Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. 
Personal Protection:  Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Use a NIOSH approved respirator when necessary. 

Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
Stability:  Stable at normal temperatures and pressures. Do not mix with oxygen or air above atmospheric pressure. Any source of high temperature, such as lit cigarettes, flames, or welding may yield toxic and/or corrosive decomposition products. 
Conditions to avoid:  Temperatures over 40C, ignition sources, and incompatible materials. 
Incompatibilities:  Alkali and alkaline earth metals, powdered aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and beryllium. 
Polymerization:  Will not occur. 
Decomposition:  Halogens, halogen acids, possibly carbonyl halides.
