Safety Description:This material is chemically inert in the pure state and is considered to be physiologically inert as well. However, as it is ordinarily obtainable, it can contain variable quantities of the low-sulfur fluorides. Some of these are toxic, very reactive chemically, and corrosive in nature. These materials can hydrolyze on contact with water to yield hydrogen fluoride, which is highly toxic and very corrosive. In high concentrations and when pure it may act as a simple asphyxiant. Incompatible with disilane. Vigorous reaction with disilane. May explode. When heated to decomposition emits highly toxic fumes of F⁻ and SO_x.
