=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Effects of Overexposure:LIQUID CAN CAUSE FREEZE BURNS SIMILAR TO
    FROSTBITE IF CONTACT WITH SKIN OCCURS. LARGE CONCENTRATIONS OF
    VAPOR IN ATMOSPHERE CAN CAUSE ASPHYXIATION DUE TO
    OXYGENDISPLACEMENT. INHALATION OF SMALLER QUAN TITIES OF FAPOR CAN
    CAUSE RESPIRATORYIRRITATION, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA OR DROWSINESS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:MEDICAL ATTENTION MANADATORY.  EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER.
    SKIN CONTACT: IF  FREEZE BURN OCCURS, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHES,
    ETC. IMMERSE BURNED AREA IN    WARM WATER, NOT HOT. KEEP IMMERSED,
    GET  MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVEVICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF
    VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING GIVE CPR, IF UNCONSCIOUS SEEK   IMMED
    MEDICAL ATTENTION, IF BREATHING IS LABORED, GIVE SUPPLEMENTAL
    OXYGEN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:-156F
Lower Limits:2.1%
Upper Limits:9.5%
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM OR CO2 FOR SMALL FIRES. STOP
    FLOW OF GAS FIRST.
Fire Fighting Procedures:EVACUATE AREA. NOTIFY FIRE DEPT. SHUT OFF
    SOURCE OF GAS, IF POSSIBLE. ALLOW FIRETO BURN UNTIL GAS FLOW SHUT
    OFF. WATER COOL EXPOSED EQUIPMENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION MAY YIELD CARBON
    MONOXIDE. UNCONTROLLED VAPORS SPREAD    RAPIDLY, ARE HEAVIER THAN
    AIR AND ARE EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:PRODUCT IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.  ELIMINATE ALL
       IGNITION SOURCES. EVACUATE AREA. IF POSSIBLE, RE- MOVE LEAKING
    CONTAINER TO SAFE AREA. STOP FLOW OF GAS OR ALLOW VAPOR TO DISPERSE
    IN SAFE AREA. USE	WATER SPRAY TO HELP DILUTE VAPOR CONCENTRATION.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE/USE WITH ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION.KEEP AWAY FROMHEAT AND IGNITION SOURCES. STORE
    CYLINDERS IN     UPRIGHT POSITION. PROTECT FROM DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:DEEP CONTAINER VALVE CLOSED AND PLUGGED WHEN NOT IN
    USE. INSTALL PROTECTIVE CAPSWHEN CYLINDERS ARE NOT CONNECTED FOR
    USE.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF AREA IS
    THOUGHT TO CONTAIN UNKNOWN CONENTRA- TIONS OF GAS.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURES BELOW       
    RECOMMENDED LIMITS.
