Specification:

Chlorotrifluoromethane (CAS NO.75-72-9) is a colorless odorless gas. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. It is noncombustible. It can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause it to rupture violently and rocket.
Reactivity Profile: The reaction of aluminum with various halogenated hydrocarbons produces a self-sustaining reaction with sufficient heat to melt aluminum pieces, examples of other halogenated hydrocarbons are fluorotrichloromethane , dichlorodifluoromethane , chlorodifluoromethane , tetrafluoromethane . The vigor of the reaction appears to be dependent on the combined degree of fluorination and the vapor pressure, [Chem. Eng. News 39(27):44(1961)].
Health Hazard: Exposure may cause nausea, dizziness, and headache, and rapid suffocation. Contact with skin may cause frostbite.
Fire Hazard: Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic fumes of Cl and F.
