Chemical Name: Trichlorotrifluoroacetone
Other Names: C3Cl3F3O, Perchlorofluoroacetone
Use Cases: Intermediate in organic syntheses, laboratory reagent
Physical Form: Colorless to pale liquid, sharp odor
CAS Number: 328-75-6
Main Risks: Respiratory tract irritation, eye and skin damage, harmful if inhaled or swallowed
Flammability: Not classified as highly flammable but fumes can ignite under the right conditions
Health Symbols: Corrosive, toxic
Sensitization: Prolonged exposure can drive allergic reactions, respiratory distress, or skin rashes
Environmental Risk: Persistent organic pollutant, harmful to aquatic ecosystems
Ingredient: Trichlorotrifluoroacetone (100%)
Nature: Pure substance, not a mixture
Possible Impurities: Trace acids or chlorinated organics if produced under less controlled conditions
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air quickly; if breathing struggles persist, seek medical help without delay
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothes, rinse skin with running water for at least 15 minutes, check for burns or blisters
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for an extended period, do not rub, seek professional care if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, avoid vomiting, and get immediate medical attention
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical
Fire Hazards: Produces toxic gases including hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride when burned
Precautions: Firefighters should wear full-body protective suits and self-contained breathing apparatus
Explosion Risk: No known explosive hazards under normal handling
Personal Protection: Avoid breathing vapors, prevent contact with skin and eyes using gloves and goggles
Spill Response: Absorb small spills with inert material like sand or earth, ventilate area
Environmental Control: Keep material from drains, water sources, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Use non-sparking tools, place waste in airtight container for disposal
Handling: Only use in well-ventilated spaces, avoid any direct contact, avoid breathing vapors
Storage: Keep tightly closed containers in dry, cool, well-aired conditions, away from oxidizers and acids
Labeling: Clearly marked containers for easy identification, restrict unauthorized access
Engineering Controls: Use of chemical fume hoods or dedicated exhaust systems
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof goggles, long-sleeved lab coat, and if working in volume or for prolonged periods, equipped respiratory protection
Work Practices: No eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas; enforce strict handwashing rules after handling
Appearance: Transparent to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Strong, slightly sweet or pungent
Boiling Point: High, often over 120°C
Melting Point: Below room temperature
Density: Heavier than water
Solubility: Limited water solubility, better in organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Volatile at elevated temperatures
Chemical Stability: Stable under standard temperature and pressure, but reacts with strong bases, acids, and oxidizing agents
Decomposition: High temperatures or strong acids can release toxic fumes
Polymerization: No dangerous polymerization normally
Acute Effects: Irritation to lungs, eyes, and skin, central nervous system depression at higher airborne concentrations
Chronic Effects: Repeated exposure can damage organs, particularly with poor ventilation
Exposure Routes: Inhalation, skin absorption, accidental ingestion
Symptoms: Headache, dizziness, coughing, skin burns, nausea
Persistence: High chemical stability gives it a long environmental life
Bioaccumulation: Can accumulate in aquatic food chains
Aquatic Toxicity: Hazardous to fish and other aquatic organisms
Disposal Impact: Improper disposal can result in groundwater and soil contamination
General Disposal: Treat as hazardous chemical waste, incinerate at permitted facility
Container Disposal: Rinse thoroughly before recycling or disposal, following local chemical disposal rules
Environmental Precaution: Avoid pouring into drains or landfill; follow regulatory guidelines to prevent contamination events
UN Number: Regulated as a hazardous material for international and domestic transport
Packing Conditions: Leak-proof, compatible containers, upright transport
Transport Regulations: Subject to chemical transport legislation due to toxic and corrosive properties
Worker Safety: Subject to hazard communication standards, regular employee training required
Environmental Law: Restricted based on hazardous substance regulations in many regions
Reporting Requirements: Release or spill volumes above set limits must be reported to relevant agencies
Labeling: Clear hazard symbols and risk phrases required under chemical safety guidelines
