Occupational Exposure Survey (1981 - 1983) |
Acute Toxicity: Exposure
to thermal decomposition products can cause serious hydrogen
fluoride burns and corrosion.
Fire Hazards: Thermal decomposition
may produce an irritating mixture of smoke and highly toxic
gases. Fluoride emissions may be significant.
Fire fighters should wear full protective gear including self-contained
breathing apparatus with full faceplate and full protective
clothing.
Hazardous Products of Combustion:
Toxic and irritating fumes and gases including hydrogen
fluoride.

EPA List of Inerts. This
substance is on List
3.
Note:
US EPA allows so-called "Inert" ingredients to be commonly
mixed with the "active" pesticidal ingredient
to create a formulated pesticide product. According
to EPA, "The term `inert' is not intended to imply
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically
active." "Inert" ingredients include solvents,
emulsifiers, spreaders, and other substances mixed into
pesticide products to increase the effectiveness of the
active ingredients, make the product easier to apply, or
to allow several active ingredients to mix in one solution.
Both US EPA and California Department of Pesticide Regulation
require pesticide manufacturers to identify inert ingredients
in their products but do not disclose this information to
the general public because the pesticide industry considers
product formulations trade secrets, protected by law and
by the US EPA. The US EPA category of Inerts (as of September
2003):
List 1 - Of Toxicological
Concern
List 2 - Potentially
Toxic / High Priority for Testing
List
3 - Of Unknown Toxicity
List 4A - Generally Regarded as Safe
List 4B - EPA states it has Sufficient Information to Reasonably
Conclude that the Current Use Pattern in Pesticide Products
will not Adversely Affect Public Health or the Environment

Abstract:
IPA COPYRIGHT: ASHP A study evaluating the nature of extractables
leached by high-purity waters from polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF) piping systems via a model consisting
of a PVDF-lined pump and a PVDF tank through which 20 liters
of high-purity water was circulated for 2 h at a rate of
5 ft/sec is described; anions, cations, and total organic
carbon were measured against current standards for high-purity
waters used in pharmaceutical operations. Results indicated
that most of the substances were extracted only to levels
approaching the limits of analytic detection.

Abstract: TD3: The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's Control Technology Center evaluated feasible alternatives
to control emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC)
from a specialty aluminum coating facility in CT. The facility
desired to increase its use of high VOC content liquid polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVF) Kynar(R) coatings. The report examines several
options for emission control by incineration of spray booth
and bake oven exhaust gases. The report also discusses the
development of Kynar(R) powder coatings, other PVF powder
coatings and triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) polyester powder
coatings with performance characteristics similar to liquid
Kynar(R) coatings.
