Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
VAPOR IS HARMFUL & MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS
OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DELIBERATE INHALATION MAY CAUSE
DEATH WITHOUT WARNING. VAPOR RED UCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR
BREATHING & IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. LIQUID CONTACT CAN CAUSE
FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS
MATERIAL AT CONCENTRATIONS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1 % ARE
LISTED BY IARC, NTP, OSHA OR ACGIH AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:OVEREXPOSURE BY SKIN OR EYE CONTACT MAY INCLUDE
SKIN IRRITATION WITH DISCOMFORT OR RASH, OR EYE IRRITATION WITH
DISCOMFORT, TEARING, OR BLURRING OF VISION. CONTACT WITH LIQUID MAY
CAUSE FROSTBITE. OVE REXPOSURE BY INHALATION OF THE VAPORS MAY
CAUSE NONSPECIFIC DISCOMFORT SUCH AS NAUSEA, HEADACHE OR WEAKNESS.
TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF THE HEART'S ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH
IRREGULAR PAUSE. PALPITATIONS, OR INADEQUATE CIRCULATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER. TREAT FOR FROSTBITE IF
NECESSARY. GET ME DICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION IS PRESENT. EYE:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS.
CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: INGESTION IS NOT CONSIDERED A
POTENTIAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: BECAUSE OF
POSSIBLE DISTURBANCES OF CARDIAC RHYTHM, CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH
AS EPINEPHRINE SHOULD BE USED WITH SPECIAL CAUTION IN SITUATIONS OF
EMERGENCY LIFE SUPPORT.

Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:WILL NOT BURN
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:N/D
Extinguishing Media:AS APPROPRIATE FOR COMBUSTIBLES IN AREA.
Fire Fighting Procedures:SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) IS
REQUIRED IF CYLINDERS RUPTURE OR RELEASE CONTENTS UNDER FIRE
CONDITIONS. USE WATER SPRAY OR FOG TO COOL CONTAINERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH PRESSURE &
TEMPERATURE RELIEF DEVICES, BUT STILL MAY RUPTURE UNDER FIRE
CONDITIONS. DECOMPOSITION MAY OCCUR.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA, ESPECIALLY LOW PLACES WHERE
HEAVY VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. REMOVE OPEN FLAMES. USE SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) IN CASE OF LARGE SPILLS. COMPLY WITH
FEDERAL, STATE, & LOCAL R EGULATIONS ON REPORTING RELEASES. REVIEW
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES AND HANDLING SECTION BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH
CLEAN-UP. USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING
CLEAN-UP.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE: CLEAN, DRY AREA. DO NOT HEAT
ABOVE 125 DEG F. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS & CONTACT OF LIQUID WITH
SKIN OR EYES. USE WITH SUFFICIENT VENTILATION TO KEEP EMPLOYEE
EXPOSURE BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS.
Other Precautions:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL MANUFACTURING CONDITIONS, NO
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS REQUIRED WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT. SELF
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) IS REQUIRED IF A LARGE RELEASE
OCCURS.
Ventilation:NORMAL VENTILATION IS GENERALLY ADEQUATE. LOCAL EXHAUST
SHOULD BE USED FOR LARGE RELEASES. MECHANICAL FOR LOW OR ENCLOSED
PLACES.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES IF LIQUID CONTECT WITH SKIN IS
POSSIBLE.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES AS NEEDED TO PREVENTLIQUID
CONTACT WITH THE EYES.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
