EXPOSED TO INTENSE HEAT OF FIRE MAY RUPTURE & MATERIAL COMPOSITION
MAY OCCUR.

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUTE AREA OF UNNEEDED PERSONNEL, VENTILATE
AREA ESPECIALLY LOW PLACES WHERE HEAVEY VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. COOL
OR REMOVE HOT METAL SURFACES OR SOURCES OF NON-EXTINGUISHED FLAMES.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE & HANDLE AS A LIQUIFIED
COMPRESSED GAS IN 'DOT' APPROVED PRESSURE VESSELS AWAY FOM
HI-TEMPERATURES.
Other Precautions:AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO HALON 1211 ! ABOVE
4%(17 LBS/1000 CU FT AIR & >1 MIN:DIZZINESS,IMPAIRED COORDINATION &
REDUCED MENTAL ALERTNESS); ABOVE 5% CONC(22 LBS/1000 CU FT OF
