Fire fighting Allow gas to burn if flow cannot be shut off immediately. Apply water from safe distance to cool
equipment/instructions container and protect surrounding area. In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not move
cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in
flame. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Do not direct water at source of
leak or safety devices as icing may occur. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Do not
get water inside containers. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety
device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out.
Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Cool
containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
General fire hazards May intensify fire; oxidizer.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
protective equipment and
low areas. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area).
emergency procedures
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing gas.
Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed
spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
If this gas leaks without igniting, extreme caution must be used; flammable or explosive mixtures
containment and cleaning up
with air may be formed. Extinguish all flames in the vicinity. This product is miscible in water. Stop
leak if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift.
Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Prevent entry into
waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with
water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all
environmental releases. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause
pollution.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight. Keep away from combustible material. Contents under pressure.
Keep reduction valves free from grease and oil. Valve protection caps must remain in place unless
container is secured with valve outlet piping to use point. Close valve after each use and when
container is empty. Do not drop, drag, slide or roll cylinders on their sides. Use a suitable hand
truck to move gas containers. Use a pressure reducing regulator when connecting container to
piping or systems. Never insert an object (e.g. wrench, screwdriver, pry bar) into cap openings.
Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over -tight or rusted caps. Open valve slowly. Do not
use gas directly from containers. Do not heat container by any means to increase the discharge
rate of product from the container.
Avoid breathing gas. Use only outdoors or in a well -ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,
and clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Observe
good industrial hygiene practices. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Use personal
protection as recommended in Section 8 of the SDS.
Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in original tightly closed
including any incompatibilities container. Store in a well -ventilated place. Store in cool place. Refrigeration recommended. Do not
store near combustible materials. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Store in accordance with NFPA
430 requirements for Class II oxidizers.

Appropriate engineering
Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
controls
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been
established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash facilities and emergency
shower must be available when handling this product.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove
supplier. Be aware that the liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable.
Skin protection
Other
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
Respiratory protection
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved respirator must be worn.
Thermal hazards
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such
considerations
as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash
work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.

4. First -aid measures
Inhalation
Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Skin contact
Frostbite: Do not remove clothes, but flush with copious amounts of lukewarm water. Call an
ambulance and continue to flush during transportation to hospital.
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is fully
conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If
vomiting occurs, keep head lower than the hips to help prevent aspiration. This material is a gas
under normal atmospheric conditions and ingestion is unlikely.

Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (See Section 8). Wash thoroughly after handling.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Eating, drinking, and smoking should be prohibited in
areas where this material is handled, stored, and processed. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices.
Conditions for safe storage,
Store locked up. Store in a cool, dry, well -ventilated place. Secure cylinders in an upright position
