Under certain conditions forms DEFLAGRATING MIXTURES with the air.

In case of a leak, this gas travels along the ground since it is HEAVIER THAN AIR, and may
ACCUMULATE IN LOW AREAS IF VENTILATION IS LACKING and may ignite at a distance.
Accidental intense heating of a container holding LPG (in case of fire, for example) can cause the
container to rupture of provoke a spill of product: if ignited, the vapors can, under certain conditions,
lead to deflagration or explosion.

PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION: Extremely flammable.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

General: In case of serious or persistent manifestations, consult a doctor or call for emergency medical aid.

Ventilate extensively.
Take potential victims into the fresh air.
Turn off the valves of the container or storage.
Eliminate possible causes of ignition.
Cut off the electric power supply if this operation causes no sparks in the area or the vapors from the
product have dispersed.

Inhalation: In case of exposure to heavy concentrations of vapor, transport the person into fresh air and allow to
rest.
If the person has breathing problems, call a doctor and supply mechanical ventilation immediately.

Skin contact: Immediately remove all stained or splashed clothing on condition that it is not adhering to the skin.
Do not attempt to warm up the affected members quickly; they must be warmed up slowly. In case of
major injury, take the person to a medical center for treatment.

Eye contact: Direct contact with the product: (liquefied gas) – wash immediately and copiously with water for at
least 10 minutes; cover the eye with a sterilized compress; consult a specialist as quickly as possible.

Protective equipment for first-aiders:: In order to enter an area where gas has been accidentally released – according to risks of exposure, an
insulated breathing apparatus must be worn, or a safety helmet with a face mask and neck protection,
gloves and full body cover protective clothing and boots (with trousers outside the boots) as applicable;
protect all first-aiders with a “lifeline”.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point: See section 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Extinguishing media:

- Suitable: Powder, CO2, water spray in certain circumstances.

- Not suitable: Stream of water on containers holding propylene.

The use of foam is ineffective.

Specifics hazards: Accidental intense heating (in case of fire for example) of a container filled with this gas can lead to
bursting and spreading of the product whose vapors may ignite causing deflagration or explosion.
Incomplete combustion produces gases of varying toxicity such as carbon monoxide (CO). These are
highly dangerous if inhaled.

Specific fire-fighting methods: It is dangerous to extinguish a burning flame if it is impossible to stop the leak rapidly.
Extinction of the flame should only be carried out by closing off the valve, in situations where this is
possible.
Protection of storage and containers: COOL DOWN the fixed and/or semi-mobile tanks and containers

exposed to the fire, by means of copious amounts of water spray.

DO NOT SPRAY WATER JET on tanks holding LPG if they have been heated.

Protection of firefighters: Use water curtains to protect the personnel.

Insulated individual breathing apparatus must be worn in premises with reduced oxygen.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal protection: Protect all fire-fighters with a “life line”.

An insulated breathing apparatus or a helmet with a face mask and neck protection should be worn, as
applicable, as well as gloves and protective clothing and boots (trouser legs pulled down over the
boots).
They must be made of flame-resistant and fire-proof material.
In case of spill in a closed area, clear this area. Ventilate thoroughly and let qualified personnel
intervene.

Spill clean-up methods:

- Recovery: Not concerned.

After spillage / leakage: In case of a leak with no fire: stop the leak by closing the valve.
In case of gas cloud formation: spray water to contain, direct and dissipate the gas cloud.

Prevention of secondary risks: Shut off the gas supply.

Eliminate the possible causes of ignition. Stop all work that requires an open flame, stop all vehicles,
and stop all machines and equipment that may cause sparks or flames.
Cut-off the electric power supply if this operation causes no sparks in the area containing vapors from
the product.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

General: This gas is produced, stored, transported and distributed UNDER PRESSURE AS A LIQUID. Under
normal conditions of distribution, it is never handled directly because it is continuously confined in
closed systems until its final destruction by combustion during use. FIRST PRECAUTIONS CONSIST
IN ENSURING IT IS CAREFULLY CONFINED.

HANDLING:

1 – Technical measures:

- Prevention of user exposure: Handle in well-ventilated premises.

Operations involving the inspection, cleaning and maintenance of storage containers require the
application of strict procedures and must be entrusted to qualified specialist personnel only.
DO NOT SMOKE.
Wear safety shoes and fully covering protective clothing GENERATING NO STATIC
ELECTRICITY.

- Prevention of fire and explosion: Use only in well-ventilated premises.

Plan installations so as to avoid the possibility of this gas accumulating in low areas.
Never heat a tank, a bottle or pipes holding gas with an open flame.
All transfers, loading and unloading from vehicles must be carried out only by specifically trained
personnel and in compliance with applicable procedures.

2 – Precautions: Use only soapy water or suitable products to search for leaks. NEVER USE A FLAME.
IN ANY CASE: NEVER UNDERTAKE ANY OPERATION THAT MAY AFFECT THE SAFE
CONTAINMENTS OF THE FIXED STORAGE TANKS OR CONTAINERS.

- Safe handling advice: In the installations use only materials and equipment expressly designed to use LPG.
Do not use natural rubber, which dissolves on contact with LPG.
Use only standardized pressure relief valves which are Butane/Propane approved under national
standards appropriate for the control of pressure of the equipment used.
For lines, restrict the use of holes made of synthetic rubber.
In case of discontinuous use close the tap after use.

STORAGE:

1 – Technical measures: STORE THIS GAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH VALID REGULATIONS, AS APPROPRIATE FOR
THE TYPE OF STORAGE USED AND THE QUANTITIES STORED.
Use blast-proof electrical equipment in danger areas.

2 – Storage precautions:

- Suitable: Store in well ventilated premises and away from any source of ignition or heat.
Do not expose containers holding LPG to temperatures exceeding 50°C.
Store away from low areas where LPG vapors could accumulate in case of a leak or accidental
discharge.

- To be avoided: Proximity of combustible material.

Basement storage of this gas is prohibited.

3 – Incompatible products: Strong oxidizing agents.

4 – Packaging materials: Use only bottles and tanks that comply with regulations for pressure devices intended for LPG.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Technical measures: When working in confined spaces (tanks, containers, etc.), ensure that there is a supply of air suitable
for breathing and wear or use the recommended equipment.

Hand protection: Hydrocarbon-resistant gloves with cuffs.

Eye protection: Goggles and/or face shield in case of risk of splashing.

Skin and body protection: Face mask, protective clothing, and anti-static safety boots, as applicable.
