Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
The compound is irritating to eyes, skin, and lungs. Contact with eyes or skin causes severe burns. The compound is extremely toxic with a probable oral lethal dose of 5-50 mg/kg or between 7 drops and one teaspoonful for a 150 pound person (antimony salts). (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Distribution in rats after chronic poisoning by inhalation of antimony pentafluoride showed high antimony concn in blood. levels in liver, kidneys, spleen and pancreas were similar. the antimony was retained for a long time and could be detected in organs under examination one month after experiment discontinued.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors & toxic decomposition products. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or flooding quantities of water as spray on fire involved material.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Reacts violently with water, to form poisonous hydrogen fluoride fumes. If confined and wet can cause explosion. May cause fire in contact with combustible material. Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use powder, carbon dioxide. NO water. NO hydrous agents. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including antimony and fluorine. Reacts violently with water. This produces toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride (see ICSC 0283). Attacks many metals. This produces a combustible/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001).
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
ANTIMONY PENTAFLUORIDE is strongly acidic. Reacts vigorously with bases. When heated to decomposition, it emits highly toxic fumes of fluorides and metallic antimony. Reacts with ammonia to form a diammoniate.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Reacts violently with water. also forms a solid dihydrate, which reacts violently with more water to form a clear soln.
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomp it emits very toxic fumes of /hydrogen fluoride/ and antimony.

Other Information
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.See ICSC 0283.Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
