Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not
breathe vapor or mist. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Routes of entry Skin contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Potential Health Effects
Eyes Liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite. Will cause serious damage to the eyes.
Skin Liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite.
Inhalation At very high concentrations, can displace the normal air and cause suffocation from lack of
oxygen.
Ingestion Not applicable. Liquefied gas.
See toxicological Information (section 11)
4. First aid measures
Eye Contact Contact with liquid: Immediately flush with plenty of tepid water (105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT
USE HOT WATER. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact Contact with liquid: Immediately flush with plenty of tepid water (105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT
USE HOT WATER. Get immediate medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Not applicable. Liquefied gas.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Flammability of the product Extremely flammable.
Auto-ignition temperature 449.9 掳C
Flash point -104.4 掳C (Closed cup)
Explosion limits Lower: 2.1 %
Upper: 9.5 %
Products of combustion carbon oxides (CO, CO2); smokes as products of incomplete combustion.
Unusual fire/explosion This material is not explosive as defined by established regulatory criteria.
hazards
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors may
accumulate in low or confined areas, travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash
back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Container explosion may occur under
fire conditions or when heated.
Fire fighting media and In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or CO2. DO NOT FIGHT FIRE WHEN IT
instructions REACHES MATERIAL. Withdraw from fire and let it burn. Promptly isolate the scene by removing
all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. First move people out of line-of-sight of
the scene and away from windows. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to prevent
pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.
Protective clothing (fire) Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full
turnout gear.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal Precautions Eliminate all ignition sources. Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary
personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment (Section 8). Follow all fire fighting
procedures (Section 5).
Personal protection in Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing
case of a large spill
might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.

7. Handling and storage
Handling Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Take precautionary measures against static
discharges. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and
bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical
(ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready to use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark
or flame).

vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash station and
safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling compounds and before eating,
smoking, using lavatory, and at the end of day.
Personal protection
Eyes Avoid contact with eyes. Chemical splash goggles.
Skin and Body Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Wear clothing and footwear that cannot be penetrated by
chemicals or oil.
Respiratory Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapor or mist. If operating conditions cause
high vapor concentrations or TLV is exceeded, use supplied-air respirator.
Hands Insulated gloves suitable for low temperatures
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
