First-aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
If inhaled
- Remove to fresh air.
- Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
- If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of eye contact
- Keep eyelids open to allow evaporation of product.
- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids.
-If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
In case of skin contact
- Allow to evaporate.
- Rinse with lukewarm running water.
- If symptoms persist, call a physician.
If swallowed
- not applicable
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation
- In case of higher concentrations: narcosis, Asphyxia, May cause cardiac arrhythmia.
Skin contact
- Contact with liquid or refrigerated gas can cause cold burns and frostbite.
- Prolonged skin contact may defat the skin and produce dermatitis.
Eye contact
- Severe eye irritation
- Causes frostbite burns to eyes.
- Symptoms: Lachrymation, Redness, Swelling of tissue, Frostbite, Burn

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
- Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
- None.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
- The product is not flammable.
- Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
- Fire fighters must wear fire resistant personnel protective equipment.
- Wear chemical resistant oversuit
- Protect intervention team with a water spray as they approach the fire.
- Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
- Approach from upwind.
- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
- Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.
- After the fire, proceed rapidly to clean the surfaces exposed to the fumes in order to limit the damage to the equipment.
Accidental release measures
Advice for non-emergency personnel
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
- Keep away from Incompatible products.
Advice for emergency responders
- Approach from upwind.
- Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
- Avoid spraying the leak source.
- Try to re-position leaking containers, to have the leak in the gaseous phase.
- Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing.
- Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions
- Should not be released into the environment.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
- Allow to evaporate.
- Prevent product from entering drains.
Reference to other sections
- Refer to protective measures listed below (exposure controls/personal protection)
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
- Use only equipment and materials which are compatible with the product.
- Prevent product vapours decomposition from contacting hot spots.
- Prevent product vapours decomposition from electric arc action (welding).
- Keep away from heat.
- Keep away from Incompatible products.
Conditions for storage, including incompatibilities
Storage
- Keep in a well-ventilated place.
- Store in original container.
- Keep away from Incompatible products.
- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Packaging material
Suitable material
- Steel drum

Occupational Exposure Limit:
no official limits established
Exposure controls
- Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery.
- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
Individual protection measures
Respiratory protection
- Self-contained breathing apparatus in medium confinement/insufficient oxygen/in case of large uncontrolled emissions/in all circumstances when the mask and cartridge do not give adequate protection.
