===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: IRRITATION, DEFATTING. LIQUID
MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE. EYES: LIQUID CAN CAUSE SEVERE FROSTBITE. MIST
MAY IRRITATE. INGESTION: IS AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE BECAUSE
OF ITS LOW BOILING POINT. SHO ULD IT OCCUR, DISCOMFORT IN THE GI
TRACT WOULD RESULT FROM THE RAPID EVAPORATION OF THE LIQUID.
NECROSIS FROM FREEZING OF TISSUE COULD OCCUR. INHALATION: GENETRON
12 IS LOW IN TOXICITY IN ANIMALS EVE N AT A CONCENTRATION OF 5%
(50,000 PPM); HOWEVER, WHEN OXYGEN LEVEL IS REDUCED TO 12-14%,
SYMPTOMS OF ASPHYXIATION, LOSS OF COORDINATION, INCREASED PULSE
RATE AND DEEPER RESPIRATION WILL OCCUR. AT HIG H LEVELS, CARDIAC
ARRHYTHMIA MAY OCCUR.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED BY NTP, IARC, OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: SYMPTOMS OF ASPHYXATION, LOSS OF
COORDINATION, INCREASED PULSE RATE AND DEEPER RESPIRATION, CARDIAC
ARRHYTHMIA. INGESTION: GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT DICOMFORT, NECROSIS.
SKIN: IRRITATION, DEF ATTING, FROSTBITE. EYES: FROSTBITE,
IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SKIN: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER. FOR FROSTBITE, BATHE (DO
NOT RUB) WITH LUKEWARM (NOT HOT) WATER. IF NO WATER, COVER WITH
CLEAN, SOFT WOOL OR SIMILAR COVERING. CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH
WITH LUKE WARM WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. LIFTING EYELIDS
OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INGESTION:
UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS
INSTRUCTED BY PHYSICIA N. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. USE OXYGEN AS REQUIRED IF A
QUALIFIED OPERATOR IS AVAILABLE. CALL A PHYSICIAN. DO NOT GIVE
EPINEPHRINE (ADRENALINE).
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:NO FLASH POINT
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY STANDARD AGENT; CHOOSE THE ONE MOST
APPROPRIATE FOR TYPE OF SURROUNDING FIRE (MATERIAL ITSELF IS NOT
FLAMMABLE).
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED,
NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST POSSIBLE
TOXIC DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS. PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD
BE PROVIDED. USE WATER S PRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL
AND TO SUPPRESS VAPORS
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH CERTAIN REACTIVE METALS MAY
RESULT IN FORMATION OF EXPLOSIVE OR EXOTHERNIC REACTIONS UNDER
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (E.G. VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND/OR APPROPRIATE
PRESSURES)
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ALWAYS WEAR RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. EVACUATE UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. PROTECTED PERSONNEL
SHOULD REMOVE ANY IGNITION SOURCES AND SHUT OFF LEAK, IF WITHOUT
RISK, AND PROVIDE VENTILATI ON. UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL SHOULD NOT
RETURN UNTIL AIR HAS BEEN TESTED AND DETERMINED SAFE, INCLUDING
LOW-LYING AREAS. SPILLS AND RELEASES MAY HAVE TO BE REPORTED TO
FEDERAL AND/OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
AVOID BREATHING VAPORS, LIQUID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, CLOTHING.
DO NOT PUNCTURE OR DROP CYLINDERS, EXPOSE THEM TO OPEN FLAME OR
EXCESSIVE HEAT. USE AUTHORIZED CON TAINERS. FOLLOW STANDARD SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND USE OF CYLINDERS OF COMPRESSED GASES.
Other Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA OF LOW FIRE
RISK. PROTECT CONTAINER AND ITS FITTINGS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
STORAGE IN SUBSURFACE LOCATIONS SHOULD BE AVOIDED. CLOSE VALVE
TIGHTLY AND REPLACE BUNG AFTER USE AND WHEN EMPTY.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE GENERALLY REQUIRED FOR ADEQUATELY
VENTILATED WORK SITUATIONS. FOR ACCIDENTAL OR NON-VENTILATED
SITUATIONS, ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED PEL (1000 PPM), USE A
SELF-CONTAINED NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPA RTUS OR SUPPLIED AIR
RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST AT FILLING ZONES AND WHERE LEAKAGE IN
PROBABLE. MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION MAY BE ADEQUATE FOR
OTHER OPERATING AND STORAGE AREAS
Protective Gloves:PVA, NEOPRENE, OR BUTYL RUBBER INSULATED GLOVES FOR
LIQUID OR GAS CONTACT.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES FOR NORMAL, CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES IF
LIQUID CONTACT POSSIBLE.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERVIOUS BOOTS IN CASE OF LEAKAGE OR
SPILLAGE OR PROBABILITY OF REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT WITH
LIQUID PRODUCT. PROVIDE EYEWASH STATIONS, QUICK-DRENCH SHOWER
FACILITIES.
