RTECS: FF6400000

Fraction By Weight: 100%

OSHA PEL 5000 PPM

ACGIH TLV: 9000 MG/CUM

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CONCENTRATION IN EXCESS OF 1.5% CARBON
DIOXIDE MAY CAUSE DEATH. AT HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS, DISPLACES OXYGEN
IN AIR BELOW LEVELS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:AT CONCENTRATIONS >1.5%:
HYPERVENTILATION/HEADACHES/VISUAL DISTURBANCES/TREMOR/LOSS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS/DEATH. AT 3-6%: HEADAHCES/DYSPNEA/PERSPIRATION. AT
6-10%: HEADAHCES/DYSPNEA/PERSPIRATION/TREMORS/VI SUAL DISTURBANCES.
>10%: UNCONSCIOUSNESS W/OUT WARNING. CRYOGENIC BURNS.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ASSISTED RESPIRANT &
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN SHOULD BE GIVEN IF NOT BREATHING. FROZEN
TISSUES SHOULD BE FLOODED/SOAKED W/TEPID WATER. DON'T USE HOT
WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL A TTENTION IN ALL CASES.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE INDOOR AREAS WELL TO AVOID HAZARDOUS
CO2 CONCENTRATIONS. VENTILATE AREA WELL & AVOID CONTACT W/COLD
VAPORS/DRY ICE. CO2 IS HEAVEY GAS & WILL REMAIN IN LOW SPOTS W/OUT
ASSISTED VENTILATION.

Handling and Storage Precautions:COMPRESS GAS CYLINDERS CONTAIN
GASEOUS/LIQUID CO2 AT EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE/SHOULD HANDLED
W/CARE. KEEP CYLINDERS AWAY FROM HEAT.
Other Precautions:PREVENT CONTACT OF CO2 ON SKIN. USE PRESSURE-REDUCING
REGULATOR WHEN CONNECTING TO LOWER PRESSURE PIPING SYSTEMS. SECURE
CYLINDERS WHEN IN USE. KEEP FROM COMBUSTIBLES. AVOID EXPOSURE TO
AREAS WHERE SA LT/OTHER CORROSIVE MATERIALS ARE PRESENT

Respiratory Protection:SCBA IN OXYGEN DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES/WHERE CO2
>1.5%. DON'T USE AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: AT POINT SOURCES OF CO2 VAPORS. MECHANICAL
(GENERAL): LOW LYING AREA ARE NOT NATURALLY VENTILATED.
Protective Gloves:IMPERMEABLE/LOOSE FITTING (LEATHER)
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES
Supplemental Safety and Health
CO2 IS STORED IN CONTAINERS UNDER ITS OWN VAPOR PRESSURE. IF THE
PRESSURE IS SUDDENLY RELIEVED, THE LIQUID RAPIDLY COOLS AS IT
EVAPORATES & SUBLIMES, FORMING DRY ICE AT -109.3F.

Boiling Pt:B.P. Text:-109.3F
Melt/Freeze Pt:M.P/F.P Text:-69.9F
Vapor Pres:831 PSIA
Vapor Density:0.115
Spec Gravity:1.56
Solubility in Water:APPRECIABLE
Appearance and Odor:COLORLESS, ODORLESS

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
CARBONIC ACID/SALT/CORROSIVE CHEMICALS
Stability Condition to Avoid:MOISTURE

Waste Disposal Methods:DON'T ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF RESIDUAL CO2 IN
COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS. RETURN CYLINDERS TO AIR PRODUCTS
W/RESIDUAL PRESSURE, CYLINDER VALVE TIGHTLY CLOSED/THE VALVE CAP IN
PLACE. DISPOSE OF IAW/LOCAL/S TAT/FEDERAL REGULATIONS. NONFLAMMABLE
GAS. UN1013.
