RELEASE OF THIS PRODUCT MAY PRODUCE OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES
(ESPECIALLY IN CONFINED SPACES OR OTHER POORLY VENTILATED ENVIRONMENTS);
INDIVIDUALS IN SUCH ATMOSPHERES MAY BE ASPHYXIATED. ISOBUTYLENE MAY CAUSE
DROWSINESS AND OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS;
HOWEVER, DUE TO THE LOW CONCENTRATION OF THIS GAS MIXTURE, THIS IS UNLIKELY
TO OCCUR.

PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASED OF OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED THE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
VICTIMS SHOULD BE ASSISTED TO AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA AND INHALE FRESH AIR.
QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAMINATED AREA IS MOST IMPORTANT. IF BREATHING
HAS STOPPED ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESUSCITATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN.
FURTHER TREATMENT SHOULD BE SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE.
| 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
THESE CONTAINERS HOLD GAS UNDER PRESSURE, WITH NO LIQUID PHASE. IF INVOLVED
IN A MAJOR FIRE, THEY SHOULD BE SPRAYED WITH WATER TO AVOID PRESSURE
INCREASES, OTHERWISE PRESSURES WILL RISE AND ULTIMATELY THEY MAY DISTORT OR
BURST TO RELEASE THE CONTENTS. THE GASES WILL NOT ADD SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE
FIRE, BUT CONTAINERS OR FRAGMENTS MAY BE PROJECTED CONSIDERABLE DISTANCES -
THEREBY HAMPERING FIRE FIGHTING EFFORTS.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
IN TERMS OF WEIGHT, THESE CONTAINERS HOLD VERY LITTLE CONTENTS, SUCH THAT
ANY ACCIDENTAL RELEASE BY PUNCTURING ETC. WILL BE OF NO PRACTICAL CONCERN.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
SUCK BACK OF WATER INTO THE CONTAINER MUST BE PREVENTED. DO NOT ALLOW
BACKFEED INTO THE CONTAINER. USE ONLY PROPERLY SPECIFIED EQUIPMENT WHICH IS
SUITABLE FOR THIS PRODUCT, ITS SUPPLY PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. USE ONLY IN
WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. DO NOT HEAT CYLINDER BY ANY MEANS TO INCREASE RATE
OF PRODUCT FROM THE CYLINDER. DO NOT ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE WHERE CYLINDERS
ARE STORED TO EXCEED 130 DEG. F (54 DEG. C).
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR EXTENDED USE OF GAS.
