Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHAL: MODERATE CONCENTRATIONS SO AS
TO EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS CAUSES
DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS AND EVENTUAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS ALSO A
NARCOTIC WHICH ACTS AS A DEPRESSANT ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
CONTACT WITH RAPIDLY EVAPORATING LIQUID COULD CAUSE FROSTBITE OR
CRYOGENIC BURNS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHAL: QUICK REMOVAL OF CONSCIOUS PERSONS TO FRESH AIR IS
MOST IMPORTANT. MOVE UNCONSCIOUS PERSONS TO AN UNCONTAM AREA, GIVE
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUS & SUPP O*2. FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BE
SYMPTOMATIC & SUPPORTIVE. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG &FLUSH
AFFECTED AREAS W/LUKEWARM WATER. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. GET MD IMMED
IF THE CRYOGENIC BURN HAS RESULTED IN BLISTERING OF SKIN SURF OR
DEEP TISS FREEZING.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:CC

Lower Limits:2.2
Upper Limits:9.5
Extinguishing Media:WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW OF PROPANE. USE
WATER SPRAY TO COOL SURROUNDING CONTAINERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PROPANE IS >AIR & MAY TVL CONSIDER DIST
TO IGNIT SOURCE. SHOULD FLAME BE EXTING & FLOW OF GAS CON'T,
INCREASE VENT TO PVNT FLAMM MIX FORM IN LOW AREAS/POCKETS.
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE PERS FROM AREA. USE APPROP PROT
EQUIP. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIP, BE CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING WITH
AN INERT GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS. IF LEAK IS IN CNTNR, OR
CNTNR VALVE, CONTACT CHEMT REC FOR EMER ASSIST OR CLOSEST MFR'S
LOCATION.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
