Containers

In case of doubt about the actual concentration, wear breathing apparatus. It should be self-con-

tained and approved by the bodies for safety protection.

Refrigerant containers shall be stored in a cool place, away from fire risk, direct sunlight and all

heat sources, such as radiators. The maximum temperature shall never exceed 45°C in the stor-

age place.

Wear boots, safety gloves and glasses or masks for facial protection.

Never forget to wear protection clothes and breathing apparatus. Isolate the source of the leak-

age, provided that this operation may be performed in safety conditions. Any small quantity of

refrigerant which may have escaped in its liquid state may evaporate provided that the room is

well ventilated.In case of a large leakage, ventilate the room immediately. Stop the leakage with

sand, earth or any suitable absorbing material. Prevent the liquid refrigerant from flowing into

drains, sewers, foundations or absorbing wells since its vapours may create an asphyxiating at-

mosphere.

The best procedure involves recovery and recycle. If this is not possible, the refrigerant shall be

given to a plant which is well equipped to destroy and neutralise any acid and toxic by-product

which may derive from its disposal.

In case of fire wear protection clothes and self-contained breathing apparatus.

If they are exposed to the fire, they shall be constantly cooled down by water sprays.

Containers may explode if they are overheated.

R407C: Non flammable in the atmosphere.
