Fraction By Weight: 100%

OSHA PEL 5000 PPM

ACGIH TLV: 5000PPM/30000STEL;96

LD50 LC50 Mixture:TLV IS 5000 PPM.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:LUNGS, CNS, EYES, SKIN.
ACUTE- CONTACT WITH LIQUID CAN CAUSE SKIN FROSTBITE. GAS MAY CAUSE
EYE IRRITATION. ASPHYXIANT. INHALATION MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY
ACIDOSIS. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE RAPID CIRCULATORY
INSUFFICIENCY LEADING TO DEATH. INGESTION IS NOT LIKLEY (GAS).
CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO INGREDIENT OF A CONCENTRATION OF 0.1%
OR GREATER IS LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE OR SKIN FROSTBITE AND FREEZE BURNS,
HEADACHE, DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS, STINGING OF THE EYES, NOSE AND
THROAT, EXCITATION, RAPID BREATHING AND HEART RATE, EXCESS
SALIVATION, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MUSC ULAR WEAKNESS, RINGING IN THE
EAR, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA, NAUSEA, VOMITING, WATERY EYES
(FORMATION OF WEAK CABONIC ACID)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONNEL WITH PRE-EXISTING CHRONIC
RESPIRATORY DISEASES OR HEART DISORDERS SHOULD REFRAIN FROM
BREATHING EXCESSIVE CARBON DIOXIDE.

First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. PROVIDE CPR/ OXYGEN IF
NEEDED. EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST, URGENTLY. SKIN:FLUSH WITH WARM WATER (NOT
TO EXCEED 10 7F). PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL
CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO CO2. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED
WITH SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. ORAL:NOT LIKELY.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT CATCH FIRE. USE WATER FOG,
CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY CHEMICAL FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE
EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY. EVACUATE AREA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THOUGH GAS CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM FIRE TO AVOID
RISK OF RUPTURE.

Spill Release Procedures:LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE WILL FORM SOLID CO2 (DRY
ICE) WHEN RELEASED TO ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE. THE AREA SHOULD BE
VENTILATED. CLEAN UP PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS WITH FULL FA CE MASK AND HEAVY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED
PLACE. DO NOT STORE ABOVE 120F. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT. CAUTION! CAN CAUSE
RAPID SUFFOCATION DUE TO OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. USE WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. CO2 IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND TENDS TO ACCUMULATE NEAR
THE FLOOR IN CLOSED S PACES. READ ALL LABELS INSTRUCTIONS.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. HOWEVER, AIR-
SUPPLIED RESPIRATORS ARE REQUIRED WHILE WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES
WITH THIS PRODUCT. THE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION USE MUST CONFORM WITH
OSHA RULES AS SPECI FIED IN 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation:SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION ABOVE TLV. LOCAL EXHAUST
LOCATED NEAR THE FLOOR.
Protective Gloves:INSULATED AND COLD RESISTANT NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES RECOMMENDED
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, SAFETY SHOWER, INDUSTRIAL-
TYPE WORK CLOTHING, SAFETY SHOES AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
