3 - FIRE OR EXPLOSIVE HAZARD |
|
AUTO – IGNITION TEMPERATURE: 1585 F
FLASHPOINT: n/a LOWER
FLAMMABLE LIMIT (LEL): 2.6% UPPER
FLAMMABLE LIMIT (UEL): 9.0%
EXTINGUISH MEDIA: If possible, stop flow of gas. Use water
to cool fire – exposed tanks, surroundings and to protect personnel working
on shutoff. Water spray, dry powder, or carbon dioxide can be directed at flame
area to reduce fire intensity. Do not extinguish flames unless leak can be
stopped.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal combustion forms oxides
of carbon.
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: Vapor may ignite if exposed
to static discharge.
EXPLOSION DATA: Sensitivity to impact. Mixture is not sensitivity.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Flammable vapor may form if allowed
to mix with air. Accumulation of gas is an ignition hazard. Vapors are heavier
than air and may travel to an ignition source.

|
CHEMICAL STABILITY: This material is chemically stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Propellant is flammable, avoid ignition
source.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Strong oxidizers.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Burning of this product can produce
oxides of carbon.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
POLYMERIZATION TO AVOID: None known.
| SECTION
6 - HEALTH HAZARD |
|
AS WITH MOST FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS: Do not expose to flames
, sparks, torches, welding area.
INHALED/ASPHYXIANT: This product may cause irritation of the
respiratory tract. May also cause headaches or dizziness at moderate exposures.Heavy
exposure may cause anemia and irregular heart rhythm, respiratory arrest and
death at elevated exposures.
EYE CONTACT: Irritating if the liquid gets into eyes, with
a possible hazard from freezing due to rapid evaporation. Extremely high vapor
concentration may also be irritating.
SKIN CONTACT: Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing
liquid may cause frost bite damage to tissue . Prolonged contact may irridate
the skin and cause dermatitis.
CHRONIC: Prolonged exposure to this product may cause central
nervous system disorder and/or damage.
INHALED: In emergency situations, use proper respiratory
protection and immediately remove the victim to fresh air. Administer artificial
respiration if breathing has stopped. Seek medical attention promptly in serious
cases of over exposure.
EYES: Flush eyes with tepid water for 15 minutes . Seek medical
advice immediately.
SKIN: Avoid skin contact with the liquid . Remove contaminated
clothing and wash the exposed area with soap and water.
FROSTBITE: Obtain medical assistance. If medical assistance
is not available , place person in a warm area as soon as possible and allow
the injured area to warm gradually. DO NOT WARM EXPOSED AREA TO EXCESS HEAT
OR COLD.
INGESTION: Unlikely to be a problem , this should not occur.
| SECTION
8 - SAFE HANDLING |
|
SPILLS: Shut off ignition source and source of leak.
Evacuate all non essential personnel from the area. If possible , ventilate
the area. If mechanical ventilation is used, equipment must be explosion proof.
Use water spray to disperse vapors. Isolate and ventilate area until gas has
dispersed . If the incident is significant seek assistance from local fire,
police, and other relevant authorities.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of product in accordance with
local, county, provincial/state, and federal regulations.
STORAGE AND SHIPPING: Store in a cool , well ventilated area.
Store away from strong oxidizing agents, chlorine dioxide, excessive heat and
/or static discharge.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Empty containers may contain flammable
or combustible vapors. Do not use without adequate precautions.
| SECTION
9 - PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use only in a well ventilated area! Ensure
there is good ventilation. If additional ventilation is needed use auxiliary
ventilation equipment ensuring that all systems are well grounded and spark
proof.
EYES: Wear chemical safety glasses with side shields and/or
goggles.
GLOVES: Use thermal, chemical resistant gloves when handling
this product.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Long sleeves, pants and closed
toe shoes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If ventilation of the area is not
adequate use a jointly approved NIOSH/MESA respirator for organic vapours,
to prevent overexposure by inhalation.
