Use
Dichloromonofluoromethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Dichloromonofluoromethane is shipped as a liquid under its own vapor pressure. Contact with the liquid may cause frostbite to unprotected skin. Dichloromonofluoromethane can asphyxiate by displacement of air. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause Dichloromonofluoromethane to rupture violently and rocket.
