Hazards

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:Yes IARC:Yes OSHA:Yes
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid

First Aid: INHALATION: If gas is inhaled, move victim to fresh air. If
breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
weak, give oxygen. Get medical attention without delay. SKIN
CONTACT: If this chemical contacts the skin, immediately flush the
contaminated skin with soap and water. If clothing is contaminated,
immediately remove and flush the skin with soap and water. Get
medical attention promptly. Assume victim has also been exposed by
inhalation. Treat as HF exposure. Consider the use of calcium
gluconate. EYE CONTACT: In case of eye contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes, occasionally
lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention
immediately. INGESTION: Ingestion is not a route of exposure.

Fire Fighting

Fire Fighting Procedures:onflammable gas
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Heating of cylinder beyond pressure
relief.

Accidental Release

Neutralizing Agent:

Handling

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Protect from physical
damage. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area of
non-combustible construction. Protect cylinders from direct
sunlight, mechanical damage and temperatures above 55 C. Keep away
from cylinders of oxygen or other highly oxidizing or flammable
materials. Ship and store cylinders with outlet plug and valve
protective cap in place.
Other Precautions:

Exposure Controls

Respiratory Protection:Respirators depend on exposure level. SCBA with
full face piece recommended during change outs and available in
case of emergency.
Ventilation:Exhausted process enclosure recommended to meet published
exposure limits. Use only in a well ventilated area.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear safety glasses.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
