Hazards and Protection.
Storage	Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage.
Handling	All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.
Protection	Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles.
Respirators	Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Small spills/leaks	Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard.
Stability	Stable to 400 C stable to light. Stable up to approx 500 C when dry. Rapidly hydrolyzed by aqueous alkali, but not by water.
Incompatibilities	Incompatible with water, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, amines, and bases May react vigorously or explosively
Decomposition	When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of hydrogen fluoride and sulfur oxides.

Fire.
Fire fighting		Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible.
Fire potential		May burn but does not ignite readily.
Hazards		Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket.
Combustion products		Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.

Poison_Class	1
Exposure effects	Weakness, restlessness, seizures, and CNS depression may occur. Long-term exposure may be associated with olfactory deficits and subclinical CNS effects.
Ingestion	Nausea, vomiting, drooling, and fecal incontinence may occur following acute ingestion exposure.
Inhalation	Dyspnea, irritation, and pulmonary edema can occur.
Skin	May cause irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite.
Eyes	See Skin.
First aid
Ingestion	Seek medical assistance.
Inhalation	Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with beta2 agonist and corticosteroid aerosols.
Skin	Rewarming and a variety of topical treatments have been recommended for treating frostbite injuries (see main section).
Eyes	Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility.
