Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE CONTACT: AVOID EYE CONTACT. DIRECT
CONTACT WITH LIQUEFIED/PRESSUREZED GAS OR FROST PARTICLES MAY CAUSE
SEVERE AND POSSIBLY PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE. SKIN CONTACT: AVOID
DIRECT SKIN CONTACT. DIRECT CON TACT WITH LIQUEFIED/PRESSUREIZED
GAS OR FROST PARTICLES MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS OR FROSTBITE("COLD"
BURNS). INHALATION: AVOID INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF GAS.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN IRRITATION OF THE THROAT AND
LUNGS. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IN CONFINED AREAS CAN DISPLACE OXYGEN
AND CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, AND EVEN DEATH WITH
LONGER EXPOSURE.
Effects of Overexposure:LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE
SYMPTOMS OF DROWSINESS, DULLNESS, NUMBNESS, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,
NAUSEA AND INCREASE HEART RATE. INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
OF VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE CAN BE FATAL. LIQUID
CONTACT CAUSES FROSTBITE, COLD BURNS, EYE DAMAGE.

First Aid:EYE CONTACT: IFEXPOSED TO THE LIQUEFIED/PRESSURIZED GAS,
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES UNTIL
IRRITATION SUBSIDES. SKIN CONTACT: IF EXPOSED TO
LIQUEFIED/PRESSURIZED GAS/ FROST PARTICLES, SOAK IN WARM WATER. DO
NOT IMMERSE FROZEN AREA INTO HOT WATER OR PLACE IN FRONT OF A HEAT
SOURCE. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVEN MOUTH TO MOUTH
RESUSCITATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:UNK
Lower Limits:NA
Upper Limits:NA
Extinguishing Media:EXTINGUISHING MEDIA IS GENERALLY NOT NECESSARY.
THIS MATERIAL IN NON-FLAMMABLE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL
AND TO PROTECT PERSONNEL DURING SHUTOFF. IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW
OF GAS OR VAPOR, THEN FIGHT FIRE ACCORDING TO TYPES OF BURNING
MATERIAL. IF FLOW CANN OT BE SAFELY SHUT OFF, ALLOW FIRE TO BURN
ITSELF OUT. COOL CYLINDERS WITH WATER SPRAY UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE
IS OUT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:UPON EXPOSRE TO INTENSE HEAT OR FLAME
CONTAINER MAY VENT RAPIDLY OR EXPLODE. GAS VAPROS CAN COLLECT AND
REMAIN AT LOW SPOTS EVEN AFTER THE SOURCE OF GAS HAS BEEN
ELIMINATED. CONTACT WITH CERTAIN REACI VE METALS MAY RESULT IN
FORMATION OF EXPLOSIVE OR EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS UNDER SPECIFIC
CONDITIONS

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIPMENT,
BE CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING WITH AN INERT GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING
REPAIRS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:NEVER EXPOSE CYLINDERS TO EXCESSIVE
HEAT. CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. STORAGE
SHOULD NOT EXCEED 50C(122F) AND SHOULD BE FREE OF OXIDIZERS OR
CORROSIVE MATERIALS. DO NOT DRAG, ROLL, OR SLIDE CYLINDERS. SECURE
CYLINDERS AT ALL TIMES.
Other Precautions:USE SEPARATE CONTROL VALVES OR PRESSURE REDUCING
REGULATORS TO SAFELY DISCHARGE GAS FROM CYLINDER. USE A CHECK VALVE
TO PREVENT REVERSE FLOW INTO CYLINDER, OR AN INCREASE IN PRESSURE,
OR AND INCREASE DISCHARGE RATE.COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS MUST NOT
BE REFILLED EXCEPT BY A QUALIFIED PRODUCER OF GAS.

Respiratory Protection:POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH MASK OR
SELF-CONTIANED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR AGENCY
USE.
Ventilation:USE HOOD WITH FORCED VENTILATION AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST
CODES.
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC OR RUBBER.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES.
