SECTION 6 – Emergency & First Aid Procedures

Eye Contact Immediatly flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes while holding lids open. If redness, itching or a burning sensation
develops, get medical attention. Treat for frostbite if necessary.

Skin Contact Wash the material off the skin with copious amounts of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If redness, itching or a burning
sensation develops, get medical attention. Treat for frostbite if necessary. Do not give adrenaline/ epinephrine.

Inhalation Remove the victim to frresh air. If cough or other respiratory symptoms occur, consult medical personnel. If not breathing give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth to mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult medical personnel.

Ingestion Ingestion is not likely to occur since this material is a gas at room temperature.

SECTION 7 – Special Protection Information

Respiratory Protection Not normally necessary if controls are adequate. For high concentrations exceeding 10% (NOAEL), or if exposure is
(Specify Type) prolonged, use positive pressure air supplied respirator.

Ventilation Local Exhaust: Recommended to control Mechanical (General): Recommended in low areas or indoors where
exposures. vapours may collect.

Protective Gloves Neoprene or Viton if working with liquid Eye Protection Chemical goggles recommended. Full faceshield in addition
or if splashing of liquid form is possible.

Other Protective Eye wash and safety showers are good safety practice in work areas when working with liquified product.

SECTION 8 – Special Precautions & Spill/Leak Procedures

Precautions to be Taken in Store as liquified compressed gas in AS2030 complying cylinders away from high temperatures. If cylinders are not
Handling & Storage connected to a system, they must have safety caps to protect against actuation of valva and erlease of agent.

Other Precautions Note incompatibility information section 4.

Steps to be Taken in Case Evacuate area; ventilate to outside atmosphere. Cool or remove hot metal surfaces or sources of non-extinguished
Material is Released/Spilled flames.

Waste Disposal Methods Dispose of in compliance with local, state and federal regulations.
