Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluorobutan…

A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluorob… issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.

04 · Precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 5 precautionary statements to 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluorobutan…. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.
