Not considered Static Accumulates static charge by flow or agitation. Ignites in
Explosion data. Sensitivity to: Impact
to be sensitive discharge response to static charge of sufficient energy.
Means of extinction Stop flow. CO2 or dry chemical
Special precautions It is extremely dangerous to extinguish fire without stopping flow of gas. Gas and air will mix; resultant
explosion could be more destructive than the original fire.
Gas is slightly heavier than air. It may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back to a leak. Can accumulate in confined spaces, resulting in an explosion and/or asphyxiation
hazard. Heating can cause rapid build-up of pressure inside containers, which may rupture explosively.
Hazardous combustion products Smoke. Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide.
SECTION 5 鈥? REACTIVITY INFORMATION
Stability Stable
Conditions to avoid Sources of ignition. Static discharges. High temperatures.
Incompatible substances May react with strong oxidizing materials.
Hazardous decomposition products Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide.

SECTION 6 鈥? HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Route of Entry Eye Hazardous Contact Eye
(with liquid form)
Skin absorption Skin Contact
Inhalation
Ingestion
Acute exposure Contact with liquid will cause freeze injury to eyes or skin. High gas concentrations (% range) can cause
asphyxiation by displacing air and thereby reducing the oxygen available for breathing. Symptoms include
rapid breathing, fatigue, incoordination, excessive salivation, headache, nausea, vomiting and
disorientation. Oxygen concentrations in work spaces must not be permitted to fall below 19%.
Very high concentrations (10,000 ppm) can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression with
symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and confusion.
Chronic exposure Not known to cause chronic effects.
Carcinogenicity Irritancy Does not cause irritation
Not known to cause cancer. Not identified
by OSHA as a carcinogen. Not classified
by IARC, NTP, NIOSH, ACGIH, or EPA.
Mutagenicity Sensitization Not known to cause sensitization
Not known to be mutagenic
Teratogenicity Reproductive toxicity Not known to cause reproductive effects
NAv
Toxicologically synergistic products Simple asphyxiants (chemicals that displace air in confined spaces).
SECTION 7 鈥? FIRST AID
Inhalation Move affected person to fresh air or remove source of contamination. Give artificial respiration if breathing has
stopped and if a qualified AR administrator is available. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Gases do not enter the body by this route.
Eye Flush eye with lukewarm, gently flowing fresh water for at least 15 min. Do not attempt to re-warm. Cover both
eyes with sterile dressing. Do not permit affected person to drink alcohol or smoke. Quickly transport affected
person to an emergency medical facility.
Skin Briefly flush the affected area with lukewarm, gently flowing water until the chemical is removed. Do not attempt
to re-warm the affected area. Do not rub the affected area or apply dry heat. Carefully cut around clothing that
sticks to the skin and remove the remainder of the garment. Loosely cover the affected area with a sterile
dressing. Do not permit affected person to drink alcohol or smoke. Quickly transport affected person to an
emergency medical facility.
SECTION 8 鈥? PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
Gloves
Personal Insulated; preferably nitrile or Responder鈩?
Protective Eye Chemical safety glasses with face shield for working with the liquid product.
Equipment
Respiratory NIOSH-approved SCBA or air line respirator with escape cylinder for work in confined
spaces where oxygen deficiency may occur. A qualified occupational health and safety
professional should be consulted for advice on respirator selection.
Clothing & footwear Impervious protective clothing for total skin coverage when working with liquid product.
Engineering Enclose product to the greatest extent possible. Use appropriate measures to ensure that
controls oxygen concentrations do not fall below 19%.
Handling Eliminate all ignition sources. Use non-sparking equipment, explosion-proof ventilation systems, and
procedures & intrinsically safe electrical equipment. Bond and ground containers during product transfer. Have clean
equipment emergency eyewash and shower readily available in the work area.
Leak & spill Evacuate area and keep it isolated until all gas has dispersed. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate
procedure area. Stop leak if it can be done safely. Water spray may be used to dissipate gas.
Waste disposal Consult local authorities. Controlled release to air may be permitted in certain situations.
Storage Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from strong oxidizing materials, excessive heat, and
sources of ignition. Use non-sparking equipment, and explosion-proof ventilation systems. Consider leak
detection and alarm equipment for storage area.
Load at normal temperature (up to 38oC) and pressure. Bond and ground containers for transfer.
