Chloropentafluoroethane Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
Chloropentafluoroethane is a colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas. Ethereal odor. Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.
Uses
Chloropentafluoroethane is a propellant and aerating agent for foamed or sprayed foods.
General Description
Chloropentafluoroethane is a colorless odorless gas with an ether-like odor. Chloropentafluoroethane is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. Chloropentafluoroethane is noncombustible. Chloropentafluoroethane can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause Chloropentafluoroethane to rupture violently and rocket.
Reactivity Profile
Chloropentafluoroethane is incompatible with the following: Alkalis, alkaline earth metals (e.g., aluminum powder, sodium, potassium, zinc) .
Health Hazard
Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Fire Hazard
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket.
Safety Profile
Mddly toxic by inhalation. A nonflammable gas. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Fand Cl-.
Potential Exposure
This material is used as a refrigerant; as a dielectric gas; and as a propellant in aerosol food preparations.
Shipping
UN1020 Chloropentafluoroethane or Refrigerant gas R-115, Hazard Class: 2.2; Labels: 2.2-Nonflammable compressed gas. Cylinders must be transported in a secure upright position, in a well-ventilated truck. Protect cylinder and labels from physical damage. The owner of the compressed gas cylinder is the only entity allowed by federal law (49CFR) to transport and refill them. It is a violation of transportation regulations to refill compressed gas cylinders without the express written permission of the owner.
Incompatibilities
Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong bases (alkalis), alkaline earth metals (e.g., aluminum powder, sodium, potassium, zinc), and beryllium. Keep away from open flames; decomposes forming toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride and HF.
Waste Disposal
Return refillable compressed gas cylinders to supplier.
