The gas is heavier than air and may accumulate in
low ceiling spaces causing deficiency of oxygen.
Build up of static electricity can occur at fast flow
Physical Dangers rates and may ignite any explosive mixtures present.
Free flowing liquid condenses to form extremely
cold dry ice.
The substance decomposes on heating above
2000掳C producing toxic carbon monoxide. Reacts
violently with strong bases and alkali metals.
Chemical Dangers Various metals dusts such as magnesium,
zirconium, titanium, aluminum, chromium, and
manganese are ignitable and explosive when
suspended and heated in carbon dioxide.
The substance can be absorbed into the body by
Routes of Exposure inhalation.
On loss of containment this liquid evaporates very
quickly causing supersaturation of the air with
Inhalation Risk serious risk of suffocation when in confined areas.
Inhalation of high concentrations of this gas may
cause hyperventilation and unconsciousness. Rapid
Effects of Short Term Exposure evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite.
The substance may have effects on the metabolism.
Effects of long term exposure
Leland Produces and ships many gas filled cylinders
and the content (type of gas) is identified on the
cylinder label, cylinder box, or shipping carton.
Applicability ORM-D is a shipping label relating to a gas type
which has been re-named as Consumer Commodity
as allowed per 49 CFR 173.306.
