| 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
SELF-PRESSURIZED CONTAINER OF EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, LIQUIFIED GAS.
STORAGE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120 DEG. F MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, EYES AND SKIN.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT:
DIRECT CONTACT WITH LIQUEFIED GAS CAN RESULT IN FROSTBITE ("COLD BURN").
SKIN CONTACT:
EXPOSURE TO EXPANDING GAS OR VAPORIZING LIQUID MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
INGESTION:
EXPOSURE TO EXPANDING GAS OR VAPORIZING LIQUID MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE TO
INTERNALORGANS AND TISSUE. INGESTION NOT ANTICIPATED SINCE COMPONENTS OF
FUEL GAS AND PROPELLANT ARE GASEOUS AT AMBIENT PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE.
INHALATION:
MAY CAUSE ASPHYXIATION IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. REPEATED OR PROLONGED
INHALATION MAY CAUSE TOXIC EFFECTS. SEE MSDS SECTION 11 FOR MORE
INFORMATION.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
SKIN:
IN CASE OF FROSTBITE, DO NOT REMOVE CLOTHES. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
INGESTION: GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLASH POINT: APPROXIMATELY -160 DEG. F
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS (% IN AIR BY VOLUME): APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 10
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DRY CHEMICAL; CARBON DIOXIDE; FOAM; WATER
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
FUEL CELLS MAY RELEASE CONTENTS IF NOT SUFFICIENTLY COOLED WITH WATER SPRAY.
ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND EVACUATE UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. FULL EMERGENCY
EQUIPMENT WITH SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN BY FIREFIGHTERS.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
ELIMINATE SOURCES OF IGNITION.
ISOLATE HAZARD AREA.
VENTILATE HAZARD AREA.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
RECOMMENDED STORAGE TEMPERATURE: BELOW 120 DEG. F
SHELF LIFE:
FOR MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TOOL CYCLES, USE BEFORE DATE CODE ON FUEL CELL.
HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
IN ADDITION TO LIMITATIONS ON STORAGE TEMPERATURE, FUEL CELLS SHOULD BE
HANDLED AND STORED SO AS TO AVOID PUNCTURE. EVEN AFTER USE, DO NOT PUNCTURE
FUEL CELL OR EXPOSE FUEL CELL TO HIGH TEMPERATURE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL
THE FUEL CELL.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
EYE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN WHEN HANDLING FUEL CELLS.
SKIN PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING FUEL CELLS.
RESPIRATORY/VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS:
USE IN A WELL VENTILATED ENVIRONMENT.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: WILL NOT OCCUR.
INCOMPATIBILITIES: OXIDIZING AGENTS, HALOGENS AND ACIDS.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OR BURNING MAY PRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE OR CARBON
DIOXIDE FROM FUEL GAS COMBUSTION.
| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
ACUTE INHALATION:
LOW TOXICITY - LC50: >5 MG/L (RAT).
COMPONENTS OF FUEL CELL GASES AND PROPELLANT ARE SIMPLE ASPHYXIANTS.
EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF PROPYLENE HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT.
CHRONIC INHALATION:
NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED FOR ANY COMPONENTS EXCEPT
PROPYLENE. CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PROPYLENE HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH LIVER
DAMAGE.
ACUTE EYE OR SKIN CONTACT:
FROSTBITE ("COLD BURN") CAN RESULT FROM EXPOSURE TO EXPANDING GAS OR
VAPORIZING LIQUID. COMPONENTS OF FUEL CELL GAS AND PROPELLANT AT AMBIENT
PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE PRODUCE LITTLE OR NO IRRITATION.
CHRONIC EYE OR SKIN CONTACT:
NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED FOR COMPONENTS OF FUEL CELL
GAS AND PROPELLANT AT AMBIENT PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE.
CARCINOGENCITY:
NO COMPONENTS OF FUEL CELL GAS OR PROPELLANT ARE CLASSIFIED AS CARCINOGENS
BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA.
| 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FATE DATA HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED
SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PRODUCT. INFORMATION IS BASED ON INTERNATIONAL UNIFORM
CHEMICAL INFORMATION DATABASE (IUCLID) ENTRIES FOR COMPONENTS OF FUEL CELL
GAS AND PROPELLANT.
ECOTOXICOLOGIAL INFORMATION:
ANAESTHETIC TO ANIMALS AND INSECTS AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. NOT EXPECTED TO
POSE HAZARDS TO AQUATIC LIFE. NOT INHIBITORY TO PLANT GROWTH AT AMBIENT
CONCENTRATIONS. BIOACCUMULATION IS NOT EXPECTED.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE INFORMATION:
VOLATILIZATION IS EXPECTED TO BE PRIMARY FATE PROCESS. COMPONENTS OF FUEL
CELL GAS AND PROPELLANT HAVE PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTIVITY.
