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:
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if
needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
before reuse. EYE CONTACT: 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.

Autoignition Temp:1128-1202 F (609-650 C)
Lower Limits:12.0-12.5%
Upper Limits:74%
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Use regular foam or 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: 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: 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. 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. Stop flow of gas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe explosion hazard. Vapor/air
mixtures are explosive. Pressurized containers may rupture or
explode if exposed to sufficient heat. Vapors or gases may ignite
at distant ignition sources and flash back.

Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Grounding and bonding
required. Subject to storage regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR
1910.101. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 350 ppm Any
supplied-air respirator. 875 ppm Any supplied-air respirator. 1200
ppm Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a
canister providing protection against this substance. End of
service life indicator required (ESLI). Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Any supplied-air
respirator with a full facepiece. Escape - Any air-purifying
respirator with a full facepiece and a canister providing
protection against this substance. End of service life indicator
required (ESLI). Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained
breathing apparatus. 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 or process enclosure ventilation system. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Eye protection not required, but recommended.
Other Protective Equipment:Protective clothing is not required.
