3 - FIRE OR EXPLOSIVE HAZARD |
|
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: 1585 F
FLASHPOINT: Not Available
LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT (LEL): 1.9%
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT (UEL): 8.5%
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.

5 - REACTIVITY DATA |
|
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 inhilation.
