SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: IF ADVERSE EFFECTS OCCUR, REMOVE TO UNCONTAMINATED AREA. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NOT BREATHING. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, OXYGEN SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION .
SKIN CONTACT: IF FROSTBITE OR FREEZING OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF LUKEWARM WATER(105-115F; 41-46C) DO NOT USE HOT WATER. IF WARM WATER IS NOT AVAILABE, GENTLY WRAP AFFECTED PARTS IN BLANKETS. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT: CONTACT WITH LIQUID: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15MINUTES. THEN GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION: IF A LARGE AMOUNT IS SWALLOWED, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: FOR INHALATION , CONSIDER OXYGEN.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE AND EXPLOSIONHAZARDS: SEVERE FIRE HAZARD. VAPOR/AIR MIXTURES ARE EXPLOSIVE. THE VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. VAPORS OR GASES MAY IGNITE AT DISTANT IGNITION SOURCES AND FLASH BACK.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CARBON DIOXIDE, REGULAR DRY CHEMICAL
LARGE FIRES: FLOOD WITH FINE WATER SPRAY.
FIRE FIGHTING: MOVE CONTAINER FROM FIRE AREA IF IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT RISK. COOL CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY UNTIL WELL AFTER THE FIRE IS OUT. STAY AWAY FROM THE ENDS OF TANKS . FOR FIRES IN CARGO OR STORAGE AREA: COOL CONTAINERS WITH WATER FROM UNMANNED HOSE HOLDER OR MONITOR NOZZLES UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT. IF THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE THEN TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: KEEP UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY, ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND DENY ENTRY. LET THE FIRE BURN. WITHDRAW IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF RISING SOUND FROM VENTING SAFETY DEVICE OR ANY DISCOLORATION OF TANKS DUE TO FIRE. FOR TANK , RAIL CAR OR TANK TRUCK: STOP LEAK IF POSSIBLE WITHOUT PERSONAL RISK. LET BURN UNLESS LEAK CAN BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. FOR SMALLER TANKS OR CYLINDERS, EXTINGUISHIN AND ISOLATE FROM OTHER FLAMMABLES. EVACUATION RADIUS: 800 METERS (1/2 MILE). STOP FLOW OF GAS.
FLASH POINT: 126 F ( -88 C) (CC)
LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 1.8%
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 8.4%
AUTOIGNITION : 860 F (460C)
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
OCCUPATIONAL RELEASE:
AVOID HEAT, FLAMES, SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. DO NOT TOUCH SPILLED MATERIAL. STOP LEAK IF POSSIBLE WITHOUT PERSONAL RISK. REDUCE VAPORS WITH WATER WPRAY. KEEP UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY, ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND DENY ENTRY. REMOVE SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE CLOSED SPACES BEFORE ENTERING.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE: STORE AND HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL CURRENT REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS. GROUNDING AND BONDING REQUIRED.
