7. Handling and
storage
Precaution for safe handling
Storage and handling dispositions applied for the following products: under
pressure gas and liqueed gas. Provide adequate ventilation and extraction near
equipment. Provide showers, eye fountains. Provide nearby points of water delivery.
Well ventilate cisterns and tanks, before intervening inside. Prohibit sources of
ignition and the contact with hot surfaces. DON’T SMOKE. Avoid the contact with
skin, eyes and inhalation of vapours. Don’t drink and don’t eat during use. Clean
hand after manipulation. Remove contaminating clothing and protective clothing
before entering food catering areas.
Condition for secure storage,
including any incompatibilities
Keep in a fresh and well ventilated place. Keep away from free ames, hot surfaces
and ignition sources. Don’t smoke. Protect full containers from heat sources to
avoid over pressures. Protect from lights. Avoid direct lights.
Storage temperature <45°C
Incompatible products Alkaline hydroxides. Alkaline earth metals. Strong oxidizing agents. Finely divided
metals.
Packaging material Recommended: Ordinary steel, stainless steel.
To avoid: alloy containing more than 2% magnesium. Plastic materials.
Storage conditions Keep in a fresh, dry and well ventilated place. The temperature cannot be higher
than 50°C. Maintain the valves well closed.
Suitable packaging Storage in original cylinder. Protect from contaminations.
8 . Exposure/
personal
protection
checks
Exposition Norurane = 13936 mg/m3 in case of inhalation for workers.
Norurane = 2476 mg/m3 in case of inhalation for consumers.
General protection measures Ensure an adequate air change and/or aspiration in working environments
Protection for respiratory tracts In case of not enough ventilation, use a suitable air breathing apparatus.
Hand protections Leather glove
Eyes/face protection Protection glasses with side-shields
Skin/body protection Wear protection suit (cotton) that covers legs and arms.
Ambient Should not be released into the environment.

10. Stability and
reactivity
Chemical stability and
reactivity
Stable at ambient temperature. The product, in presence of air, can create a
ammable mix, under certain conditions of temperature and pressure.
Conditions to be avoided Keep far from eat sources and other causes of re. Avoid the contact with ames
and incandescent metallic surfaces.
Incompatible materials Alkaline hydroxides. Alkaline earth metals. Strong oxidizing agents. Finely divided
metals.
Thermal decomposition Decomposition temperature: > 370 °C
Hazardous decomposition
products
At high temperature there is the thermal decomposition into toxic and harmful
products: Gaseous hydrogen uoride and carbon oxides.
11. Toxicological
information
Inhalation
Reduced harm for inhalation. As the others volatile aliphatic halogenated compounds,
trough vapours accumulation and/or inhalation of huge quantities, the substance
can cause: loss of consciousness and heart disease, aggravated by stress and lack
of oxygen: mortal risk.
Local eects Possible frostbite for liqueed gas sketches on skin and eyes.
Respiratory or skin sensitization No genotoxic eects.
Carcinogenicity No carcinogenic or mutagen eects in animal experiments.
Toxicity for reproduction No toxicity to reproduction. No toxic eects for developing foetus, at no toxic
concentration for mothers.
Specic target organ toxicity Studies of long inhalation on animals didn’t highlighted any chronic toxic eect.
