Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of
lukewarm water (105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm
water is not available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get
immediate medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Contact with liquid:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If a
large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. NOTE TO
PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen.

Flash Point:-99 F (-73 C) (gas)
Autoignition Temp:617 F (325 C)
Lower Limits:1.7%
Upper Limits:9.0%
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires
in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If
this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let
the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
For tank, rail car or tank truck: Stop leak if possible without
personal risk. Let burn unless leak can be stopped immediately. For
smaller tanks or cylinders, extinguish and isolate from other
flammables. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Do not
attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped
first. Flood with fine water spray. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire i out. Apply water from a protected
location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or
combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly
exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 500 meters (1/3 mile). Consider
downwind evacuation if material is leaking. Stop flow of gas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
and flash back. Gas/air mixtures are explosive.

Spill Release Procedures:Control spill with absorbent pads or brooms,
if necessary. Apply granular or loose sorbent to spill. When
absorbed, sweep or otherwise collect and dispose of properly.
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when handling. Keep container tightly closed. Keep
container in a well-ventilated place. Protect from atmospheric
moisture and water. Keep away from sources of ignition - No
smoking. Storage stability of product is 6 months.

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a
full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that
has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately
Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full
facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide local
exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance with applicable
exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear insulated gloves.
Eye Protection:For the gas: Eye protection not required, but
recommended. For the liquid: Wear splash resistant safety goggles.
Contact lenses should not be worn. Provide an emergency eye wash
fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:For the gas: Protective clothing is not
required. For the liquid: Wear appropriate protective, cold
insulating clothing.
