CHLORINE PENTAFLUORIDE is a strong oxidizing agent. Nonflammable, but likely to react vigorously on contact with combustible materials. Reacts violently with lithium, calcium. Emits highly toxic fluoride and chloride fumes when heated to decomposition. Extremely vigorous reaction with water, steam, even ice [Pilipovich D. et al., Inorg. Chem., 1967, 6, p. 1918]. Very vigorous reaction with anhydrous nitric acid even at -100 °C [Christie, K. O., Inorg. Chem. 1992, 11, p. 1220].

Div 2.3 Poisonous gas (49 eCFR § 173.115)
Div 2.3 Poisonous gas (49 eCFR § 173.115)
Reacts with water or moisture in the air to produce corrosive hydrofluoric acid and toxic chlorine gas. Interaction with ice at -100 °C, or with water vapor above 0 °C is extremely vigorous (Christe, K.O. Inorg. Chem. 1972 11, 1220). Hydrochloric acid fumes might also be generated upon reaction with water.
· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.
· Do not touch or walk through spilled material.

General First Aid:
· Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
TIH (Toxic Inhalation Hazard) - Term used to describe gases and volatile liquids that are toxic when inhaled. Some are TIH materials themselves, e.g., chlorine, and some release TIH gases when spilled in water, e.g., chlorosilanes. [ERG 2016].
