HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects
Eyes: Direct eye contact with the liquid or cold gas can
cause chilling or possibly frostbite of exposed tissues.
Skin: Direct skin contact with the liquid or cold gas can
cause chilling or possibly frostbite of exposed tissues.
6406FR DuPont Page 2
Material Safety Data Sheet
(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)
Ingestion: Not expected to be a hazard in normal industrial
use.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations can be
harmful or fatal due to oxygen deprivation and/or heart
irregularities (arrhythmias). Misuse of the product by
deliberately inhaling high concentrations of this gas could
cause death without warning.
Chronic Health Effects: Possible mutagen.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
If high concentrations are inhaled, immediately remove to fresh
air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a
physician.
SKIN CONTACT
Flush area with lukewarm water. Do not use hot water. If
frostbite has occurred, call a physician.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses
of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
The use of epinephrine or similar compounds can increase
susceptibility to heart irregularities caused by excessive
exposure to these types of compounds.

ventilate. Do not enter areas where high concentrations may
exist (especially confined or poorly ventilated areas)
without appropriate protective equipment including
self-contained breathing apparatus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
Do not breathe gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Handling (Physical Aspects)

(HANDLING AND STORAGE - Continued)
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible materials. Store away from heat, sparks and
flame. Protect cylinders from damage. Store cylinders
upright, secured to a rack or wall to prevent tipping.
Store with valve protection cap in place. Use hand truck
for moving cylinders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment
EYE/FACE PROTECTION

splash goggles.
RESPIRATORS
Wear NIOSH approved respiratory protection, as appropriate.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Where there is potential for skin contact have available and wear
as appropriate impervious gloves, apron, pants and jacket.
