Precautions for safe handling
In case of contact with liquefied gas, thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Remove
contaminated clothing. Treat for frostbite by gently warming affected area. Wash with soap and
water. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
Flush with cool water. Remove contact lenses, if applicable, and continue flushing. Obtain
medical attention if irritation persists.
Not likely, due to the form of the product.
Contact with liquefied gas might cause frostbites, in some cases with tissue damage.
Treat patient symptomatically. Treat frost-bitten areas as needed.
If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical
personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show
this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Foam. Dry chemical powder.
None known.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self- contained breathing apparatus.
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. DO NOT EXTINGUISH A LEAKING GAS
FIRE UNLESS LEAK CAN BE STOPPED. In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not move
cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices as icing may occur. Use
water spray to cool unopened containers. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose
holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Cool
containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
Extremely flammable gas. Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may explode when
exposed to heat or flame.
May include and are not limited to: Oxides of carbon.

6. Accidental Release Measures
. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area).
Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas
(sewers, basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed
spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Refer to attached safety data sheets and/or instructions for use. Stop leak if you can do so without
risk. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks,
or flames in immediate area). Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled
material. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or
onto the ground. Do not discharge into lakes, streams, ponds or public waters.

7. Handling and Storage
Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material.
Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. – No smoking.
Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight.
Do not smoke.
All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.
Provide adequate ventilation.
Avoid prolonged exposure.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
When using do not eat or drink.

Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Occupational exposure limits
Store in a well-ventilated place. Protect from direct sunlight.
Do not store at temperatures above 49 °C (120.2°F).
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.
This material can accumulate static charge which may cause spark and become an ignition source
. Prevent electrostatic charge build-up by using common bonding and grounding techniques.
Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
Stored containers should be periodically checked for general condition and leakage.

Keep out of reach of children.

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

considerations
Wear safety glasses with side shields.
Wear protective gloves. Confirm with a reputable supplier first.
Wear suitable protective clothing. As required by employer code.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Where exposure guideline
levels may be exceeded, use an approved NIOSH respirator.
Respirator should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety
professional following requirements found in OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134),
CAN/CSA-Z94.4 and ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2).
