Pol y-Tetrafluoroeth yiene
Inhalation of PTFE dust may cause generaUzed irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs with cough, difficulty in breathing or shortness
of breath. Inhalation of fluorine compounds released as decomposition products above 290''C (554°F) may cause lung irritation and
pulmonary edema, which require medical treatment. Inhalation of fumes or smoke from overheated or burning Poly-TFE may cause
polymer fume fever, a temporary flu-like illness accompanied by fever, chills, and sometimes cough, of approximately 24 hour in
duration. Repeated episodes of polymer fume fever may cause lung damage.
Isopropyl Alcohol
