2. COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Substance: A 217.5psi (15bar) Aerosol canister containing a mixture of oxy-hydrocarbons
and 1,1,1,2鈥搕etrafluoroethane, liquefied gas propellant.
Hazardous Ingredients:
Chemical Name CAS No. EEC No. Class/Risk Weight
1,1,1,2 tetrafluoroethane (HFC 134A) 811-97-2 212-377-0 None >50%
Blended Oxy-hydrocarbons F, R11 10 - 25%
3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Under normal usage this product has very low toxicity and is non flammable.
Inhalation: High concentrations can cause headaches, loss of concentration, tiredness and
ultimately asphyxiation. Sudden exposure to very high levels may induce cardiac
sensitization and possible heart attack. No side affects are noticed in normal use,
and when used as directed
Skin Contact: When used as directed, no ill effects. Continuous direct contact may result in
frostbite like effects (Defatted skin and dryness/irritation). Liquid residue may
cause mild skin irritation.
Eye Contact: Avoid contact with the eyes. Aerosols in large quantities may cause irritation.
Large liquid splashes are considered unlikely in normal usage. Residue may cause
irritation.
Ingestion: Direct spray causes serious cold burns to mouth and throat, low hazard for usual
industrial handling.
Physical & Chemical Heating will cause a rise in pressure with a risk of bursting if heated above 120潞F
Hazards: (50潞C). On combustion, toxic gases are released.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Seek medical treatment when anyone has symptoms apparently due to inhalation or contact with skin or eyes
Inhalation: If symptoms from high concentrations are observed, immediately move patient to
fresh air. If patient has stopped breathing, commence artificial respiration. Summon
immediate medical attention. For protection, if ventilation is inadequate, the use of
positive pressure air line respirators is required. Keep warm and at rest.
Skin Contact: If symptoms from direct spray or irritation are suffered, immediately wash the area
with cold or tepid water for at least 15 minutes. Use soap if necessary.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water or eyewash solution for at least 15
minutes, holding eyelids apart. If possible, remove contact lenses. Call physician if
irritation persists.
Ingestion: Not specifically applicable (gas).
Other Requirements: Inhalation can cause cardiac sensitization. Adrenaline or similar sympathomimetic
drugs should not be given.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
Aerosol cans may burst under fire conditions. Precautions (removal or spraying with water) may be taken
against this risk.
In contact with flames, irritating and toxic fumes are evolved. If large quantities are present, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and evacuate area. Ventilate the area before resuming work.
Foam or any chemical extinguishing agents should be used.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
If canister is ruptured, evacuate the area, except for personnel dealing with emergency. Extinguish or isolate
power from sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Disperse vapor clouds with water spray. Cover drains, sewers
etc. Inform authorities if major spillage occurs. Do not breath gas, do not smoke. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Clothing/Safety Equipment: None required under normal usage.
Precautions for Use:
Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Do not direct at face or eyes. Use in a well-
ventilated area. If intending to use in particularly confined area please contact manufacturer for advice.
Storage:
Pressurized container: As with all aerosols, protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding
120潞F (50潞C). Do not pierce or burn, even when empty.
NOTE: In summer or on hot days extra care should be taken to protect from sunlight and other high
temperatures. Even the trunk of a car can reach excessive temperatures. If in doubt an insulator/"Thermos" type
bag should be used to store the cans.
