| Refrigerant is non-flammable. On the contrary it has a fire-retardant or fire extinguishing effect. Refrigerant decomposes when brought into contact with flames or red-hot surfaces. UV light also splits the refrigerant (generated during electrical welding). This results in toxic fission products (hydrogen fluoride and traces of carbonyl fluoride and fluorine), which give adequate advance warning as they irritate the mucous membranes. |
