WARNING
Adequate ventilation should be provided while using trichlorotrifluoroethane. Prolonged
breathing of vapor should be avoided. The solvent should not be used near heat or open flame;
the products of decomposition are toxic and irritating. Since trichlorotrifluoroethane dissolves
natural oils, prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. When necessary, use heavy duty
rubber gloves that the solvent cannot penetrate. If the solvent is taken internally, consult a
physician immediately.
(3) Remove grease, fungus, and ground-in dirt using a cloth dampened (not wet) with trichlorotrifluoroethane.
