Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR
AND CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR
BREATHING. BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND
MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES, UNCONS CIOUSNESS OR DEATH.
INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DELIBERATE INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT
WARNING. SKIN/EYE: LIQUID CONTACT MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS
MATERIAL AT CONCENTRATIONS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.2% ARE LISTED
BY IARC, NTP, OSHA OR ACGIH.
Effects of Overexposure:NAUSEA, HEADACHE, OR WEAKNESS, TEMPORARY CNS
DEPRESSION WITH EFFECTS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION,
INCOORDINATION AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS. INHALATION OF HIGHER
CONCENTRATION MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF THE HEART'S
ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH IRREGULAR PULSE, PALPITATION, OR
INADEQUATE CIRCULATION. EYE AND SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CNS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE INCREASE
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE.

First Aid:INHALATION:IMMEDIATELY REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MIN. GENTLY
WARM THE EFFECTED AREA. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: NOT
CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL ROUTE OF EXPOSUR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MIN, GET MEDICAL HELP.
NOTES TO PHYSICIA NS: BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DISTURBANCES OF CARDIAC
RYTHEM, CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD ONLY BE
USED WITH SPECIAL CAUTION IN EMERGENCY LIFE SUPPORT.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE MADIA AS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:COMBUSTION OR HEAT OF FIRE MAY PRODUCE
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS AND VAPORS.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE ENCLOSED AREAS IN CASE OF
INADVERTENT OR DELIBERATE DISCHARGE OF HALON. REMOVE OPEN FLAMES.
USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) FOR LARGE LEAK OR
SPILL.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA OF
LOW FIRE RISK. PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND KEEP
CLOSED.
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING VAPOR, LIQUID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN
OR CLOTHING. USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA TO KEEP EMPLOYEES
EXPOSURE BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED FOR ADEQUATELY VENTED WORK
SITUATIONS. FOR ACCIDENTAL LARGE RELEASES OR NON-VENTILATED
SITUATIONS, USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR
SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR, APPROVED BYNIOSH.
Ventilation:USE LOCAL WHEN LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED. USE MECHANICAL
IN LOW CONCENTRATION OR ENCLOSED PLACES.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE LISTED
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO SKIN AND
INHALATION.
Supplemental Safety and Health
USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
