Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DELIBERATE
INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT WARNING. VAPOR R EDUCES OXYGEN
AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING AND IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. SKIN OR EYE
CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID MAY 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:HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY
INHALATION MAY INCLUDE NONSPECIFIC DISCOMFORT, SUCH AS NAUSEA,
HEADACHE, OR WEAKNESS, OR TEMPORARY CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DEPRESSION WITH EFFECTS SUCH AS DIZZIN ESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION, BY
INHALATION MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF THE HEART'S ELECTRICAL
ACTIVITY WITH IRREGULAR PULSE, PALPITATIONS, OR INADEQUATE
CIRCULATION. SKIN OR EYE CONTACT WITH THE LI QUID MAY CAUSE
FROSTBITE.
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: IF HIGH CONCENTRATION ARE INHALED, IMMEDIATELY
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
CALL A PHYSICIA N. SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR 15 MINUTES. TREAT FOR FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY BY GENTLY WARMING
AFFECTED AREA. EYE CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: IS NOT
CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE.

Flash Point:WILL NOT BURN
Extinguishing Media:AS APPROPRIATE FOR COMBUSTIBLES IN AREA.
AUTODECOMPOSITION
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY OR FOG TO COOL CONTAINERS.
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) IS REQUIRED IF CYLINDERS
RUPTURE OR RELEASE UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH TEMPERATURE
AND PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES BUT MAY STILL RUPTURE UNDER FIRE
CONDITIONS. DECOMPOSITION MAY OCCUR. AUTODECOMPOSITION >950C
(>1562F).

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE ARA-ESPECIALLY LOW OR ENCLOSED
PLACES WHERE HEAVY VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. REMOVE OPEN FLAMES. USE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) FOR LARGE LEAK OR SPILL.
NOTE: REVIEW FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES AND HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
SECTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH CLEAN-UP. USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING CLEAN-UP.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID BREATHING VERY HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPORS. AVOID CONTACT OF EYES OR SKIN WITH
LIQUID. USE WITH SUFFICIENT VENTILATION TO KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE
BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS.STORE IN CLEAN, DRY AR EA. DO NOT HEAT
ABOVE 125 DEG F.
Other Precautions:NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DISTURBANCES
OF CARDIAC RHYTHM, CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD
ONLY BE USED WITH SPECIAL CAUTION IN SITUATIONS OF EMERGENCY LIFE
SUPPORT.

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
SPILL OCCURS.
Ventilation:NORMAL VENTILATION FOR STANDARD USE PROCEDS GENERALLY
ADEQUATE. LOCAL EXHAUST USED WHEN LARGE AMOUNTS RELEASED.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES SHOULD BE WORN AS NEEDED TO
PREVENT EYE CONTACT.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE SPECIFIED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
Supplemental Safety and Health

Toxicological Information:EFFECTS SEEN IN ANIMALS FROM A SINGLE
EXPOSURE BY INHALATION INCLUDE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION
EFFECTS AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. LUNG IRRITATION & DEGENERATION OF
THE LIVER & KIDNEYS WERE SEEN IN ANIMALS EXPOSED REPEATEDLY BY
INHALATION TO LETHAL OR NEAR LETHAL CONCENTRTIONS. CARDIAC
SENSITIZATION WAS OBSERVED IN DOGS EXPOSED TO CONCENTRATIONS OF
7.5% & HIGHER. ANIMAL TESTING IND ICATES THAT THIS COMPOUND DOES
NOT HAVE MUTAGENIC OR EMBRYOTOXIC EFFECTS. NO ANIMAL TEST REPORTS
ARE AVAILABLE TO DEFINE CARCINOGENIC OR REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS. THE
COMPOUND DOES NOT PRODUCE DAMAGE IN BACTERIAL CELL CULTURES.
