2: Hazard(s) Identification
Classification: If Pressurized - Gases Under Pressure

Signal Word: Warning

Hazard Statement: Fire extinguishers contain liquid and gas under pressure.
Overheating and over pressurizing may cause gas release or
violent bursting. A fire extinguisher could still have pressure in
it even if the indicator gauge is in the 0-psi range.
Simple asphyxia.

Appearance: Gold / Brown liquid substance

Physical State: Liquid
Odor: Low Earthy Odor

Precautionary Statements: Prevention – Wear gloves and eye protection.

Response – Immediately flush eyes with clean water for 15
minutes or wash skin with plenty of soap and water. Seek
immediate medical advice or attention if irritation persists.
Storage – Store in original container, sealed in a well-ventilated
place.

3: Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical Name CAS No. Weight - %
Vermiculite 1318-00-9 5-20%
Water 7732-18-5 80-95%
Rheology modifiers and syneresis control agent N/A <1%
Helium 7440-59-7 <1%
Nitrogen 7727-37-9 <1%
Note: Pressurized extinguisher uses nitrogen (possible traces of helium, purity-dependent) as expellant.

4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at
least 15 minutes. If symptoms occur, consult a physician, preferably
an ophthalmologist.

Skin Contact: In case of contact and irritation, wash affected skin with plenty of
soap and water. If irritation persists, immediately call a POISON
CENTER or physician.

Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately.

If not breathing, call 911 and give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.

Ingestion: No known adverse effects for small quantities. For large quantities,
wash out mouth with water and give water to drink. Do not induce
vomiting. If gastrointestinal symptoms occur, seek medical advice.

Symptoms: May cause temporary irritation of the skin and/or eyes.

Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically.

5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Not Determined.
