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 gloves which the solvent cannot penetrate.
If the solvent is taken internally, consult a physician.
