In case of eye irritation, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if needed. Ingestion Ingestion is considered unlikely as this product is in gas form. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed No additional information available. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed None. section 5, Fire-fighting measures Extinguishing media Use an extinguishing agent appropriate for surrounding fire. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Cylinder contain gas under pressure. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and may cause cylinder to burst or explode. Advice for firefighters Evacuate all personnel. Heat from fire will increase temperatures in cylinder and may cause cylinder to rupture Cool cylinders or containers by applying water from a safe distance. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so. Remove cylinders from path of fire if safe to do so. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Isection6, Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Non-emergency personnel + Evacuate area. Eliminate ignition sources. Ensure adequate air ventilation and wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Wear PPE. For emergency responders If specialised clothing is required to deal with spillage, refer to Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also information in “Non- emergency personnel”. Environmental precautions Try to stop release. Prevent from entering sewers, basement, work pits or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous. Methods and materials used for containment cleaning up Stop leak if without risk. Carefully move cylinder to well ventilated remote area and allow discharge if safe to do so. Refer to Section 8 & 13, section 7, Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Contain under pressure, Do not drag, roll, drop or slide cylinder. Keep cylinder valve free from oil or grease. Do not puncture or incinerate cylinder. Open valve slowly and close after use. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Keep cylinders in well ventilated place. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in accordance with local regulations. Store cylinders only where temperature will not exceed 52°C. Keep cylinder tightly closed until ready for use. Store full and empty cylinders separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full containers for long periods.
