♦Precautions for thermal decomposition
Thermal decomposition at high temperature (starts at 400°C) and a fire may generate hazardous substance like hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, do not use the product under conditions in which it will thermally decompose and ensure good ventilation for use at high temperature such as forming by melting.
(Use the product at normal air pressure and a temperature of 350°C or less.)
| What to do in emergencies |
• Inhalation | · If someone has become sick by inhaling vapor, gas, or similar substances, rest them in a place withclean air and consult a doctor. · If their breathing is weak or has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Consult a doctor immediately. |
| • If CYTOP comes into contact with your skin |
· Wipe deposit immediately with a cloth. · If the affected area’s appearance has changed or if the area concerned hurts, consult a doctor. · Rinse with a lot of water and soap or a detergent for skin. Do not use a solvent or thinner. |
|
| • If CYTOP gets into your eye | · Consult a doctor as soon as possible. · Wash the eyes with a lot of clean water immediately for 15 minutes or more. Wash it off completely at the back of the eyelids. |
|
| • If you have swallowed CYTOP | · If it is swallowed by mistake, rest and consult a doctor immediately. · Do not let a person throw up unless otherwise instructed so by a medical expert. |
|
| In the event of a fire | • Fire extinguisher | · Use a non-flammable fire extinguisher suitable for an ambient fire. |
| • Specific hazard of fire |
· If it is burning, a poisonous gas may be emitted. | |
| • Specified extinguishing method |
· Remove movable containers from the area of the fire as long as it is safe to do so. | |
| • Protecting persons who are engaged in fire extinguishing |
· If it is burning, a poisonous gas (hydrogen fluoride, halocarbonil, carbon monoxide and very toxic perfluoro-isobutylene) may be emitted. Persons who are engaged in fire extinguishing should wear self-contained breathing apparatuses. | |
| In the event of a leakage |
• Precautions for health and safety |
· For indoor work, ventilate the area well until the work is completed. · When working, wear appropriate protective equipment (such as gloves, protective masks, aprons and goggles). · Wear some breathing apparatus in places with insufficient ventilation. |
| • Precautions for the environment |
· Dispose of deposit or waste according to the relevant laws. | |
| • Method of removal |
· If there is a lot of waste, cover the drain and build up a bank to prevent it from entering the sewer. · Absorb waste in inert material such as dry sand and collect it in containers for disposal. · Ventilate the peripheral area. · Dispose of collected substances as soon as possible. |
|
| • Preventing secondary accidents |
· Collect any leaks in a sealable container and move it to a safe place. | |
| Precautions for handling and storage |
Handling |
|
| • Technical measures |
· Use is limited for industrial purpose or experts. · Seal the container each time. · Move sources of fire away during handling and while vapor still remains after handling. · Install a local exhaust system if the fluid is handled at temperatures above its boiling point. A performance of 25 cm/sec or more must be maintained. If the fluid is at a temperature above its boiling point in a place without an exhaust system, put on a respirator, stop the heat source and evacuate the place. |
|
| • Precautions |
· Handle the fluid in a well-ventilated place. · Install a local exhaust system if the fluid is handled at a temperature above its boiling point. A performance of 25 cm/sec or more must be maintained. |
|
| • Precautions for safe handling |
· Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Use soap and water to wash any areas that come into contact with this product. |
|
| Storage |
||
| • Appropriate storage conditions |
· Store the product in a well-ventilated, cool, dark place. · Do not store it near a source of fire. · Store it away from a strong base. |
|
| • Safe container and packaging materials |
||
| Exposure prevention and protection measures |
• Measures for facilities | · Install a local exhaust system in a handling area. · Install a shower, hand washing basin and eye wash system near the working area. · If decomposed material may be generated because of heat, use an appropriate local exhaust system to keep the concentration of the decomposed material at below the allowable limit. |
| • Protective equipment | · Protective equipment for breathing: Wear a gas mask for organic gas. · Protective equipment for hands: Wear gloves which are resistant to organic solvents or chemicals. · Protective equipment for eyes: Wear protective goggles. · Protective equipment for skin and body: Wear them as required. |

Precautions for Relevant Regulations
(1) Many types of CYTOP apply to Clause 5 in Table 1 of the Export and Trade Control Law in Japan. To export or take out CYTOP from Japan,
you will need permission from the minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. The product must not be given to a third party.
(2) CYTOP applies to Export Administration Regulations (EAR) in the United States. Exporting or taking the product out of the US is controlled under the regulations.
(3) CYTOP must be used for industrial application. It has not been developed and manufactured for medical or food-related applications.
