| HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION | |
ROUTE OF ENTRY:
SKIN CONTACT: CONTACT WITH LIQUID MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.
SKIN ABSORPTION: NE
EYE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
INGESTION: NE
INHALATION:
VAPOR MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE MUCUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.

REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: DOES NOT MEET WHMIS CRITERIA.
| PREVENTIVE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND USE IMPERVIOUS GLOVES. WHERE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE IS
LIKELY, WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
SPECIFIC ENGINEERING CONTROLS: LOCAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURES:
REMOVE OR EXTINGUISH IGNITION OR COMBUSTION SOURCES. KEEP UPWIND. EVACUATE
ENCLOSED SPACES AND DISPERSE GAS WITH FLOOD-LEVEL FORCED-AIR VENTILATION.
EXHAUST VAPORS OUTSIDE.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
HAZARDOUS WASTE. DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCT TO ENTER THE ENVIRONMENT. CONSULT
FEDERAL OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR APPROVED DISPOSAL METHODS.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT:
WASH BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, USING TOBACCO PRODUCTS OR REST ROOMS.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
KEEP IN A CLOSED, LABELED CONTAINER IN A VENTILATED AREA. KEEP AWAY FROM
HEAT, SPARKS AND OPEN FLAMES. DO NOT STORE CYLINDER IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR
EXPOSE IT TO HEAT ABOVE 45 DEG. C.
| FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE:
FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS
OPEN. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION OCCURS OR PERSISTS.
SKIN:
FLUSH EXPOSED SKIN WITH LUKEWARM WATER (NOT HOT) OR USE OTHER MEANS TO WARM
SKIN SLOWLY. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF FROSTBITTEN OR IRRITATION OCCURS.
INGESTION: NA-GAS.
INHALATION:
REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, APPLY
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF NECESSARY. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
