SECTION 4: First-aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures
First-aid measures after inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
First-aid measures after skin contact : If irritation occurs, flush skin with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area.
First-aid measures after eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses, if worn.
If irritation persists, get medical attention. Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub
affected area.
First-aid measures after ingestion : Not a normal route of exposure. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so
by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
advice/attention if you feel unwell.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects (acute and delayed)
Symptoms/injuries after inhalation : May cause respiratory tract irritation. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and
inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Symptoms of oxygen deficiency include
respiratory difficulty, headache, dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness or death.
Symptoms/injuries after skin contact : May cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, drying, defatting and cracking of the
skin. May cause frostbite on contact with the liquefied gas.
Symptoms/injuries after eye contact : May cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear
production, with possible redness and swelling. May cause frostbite on contact with the
liquefied gas.
Symptoms/injuries after ingestion : Not a normal route of exposure. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause stomach distress,
nausea or vomiting.
4.3. Immediate medical attention and special treatment, if necessary
Other medical advice or treatment : Symptoms may not appear immediately. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical
advice immediately (show the label or SDS where possible).

SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures

5.1. Suitable extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Water spray. Foam. Dry chemical.

5.2. Unsuitable extinguishing media

Unsuitable extinguishing media : Do not use carbon dioxide.

5.3. Specific hazards arising from the hazardous product

Fire hazard : Extremely flammable aerosol. Products of combustion may include, and are not limited to:
oxides of carbon. Hydrogen fluoride. Carbonyl fluoride.
Explosion hazard : Heat may build pressure, rupturing closed containers, spreading fire and increasing risk of
burns and injuries.

5.4. Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters

Protection during firefighting : Keep upwind of fire. Wear full fire fighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear) and respiratory
protection (SCBA). Vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along the ground to a
distant ignition source and flash back. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
General measures : Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to
unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Eliminate sources of ignition.
6.2. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
For containment : Stop leak if safe to do so. Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground and
collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks).
Methods for cleaning up : Provide ventilation.
6.3. Reference to other sections
For further information refer to section 8: "Exposure controls/personal protection"

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling : Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No
smoking. Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not spray on an
open flame or other ignition source. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Do not swallow. Container may explode if heated. . Use only
non-sparking tools. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Hygiene measures : Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.

area.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

8.1. Control parameters
No additional information available
8.2. Appropriate engineering controls
Appropriate engineering controls : Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapor, etc.) below
recommended exposure limits.
8.3. Individual protection measures/Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment : Avoid all unnecessary exposure.
Hand protection : Wear chemically resistant protective gloves.
Eye protection : Safety glasses or goggles are recommended when using product.
Skin and body protection : Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection : A NIOSH approved respirator is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or when permissible
exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected
respirator.
Environmental exposure controls : Maintain levels below Community environmental protection thresholds.
Other information : Do not eat, smoke or drink where material is handled, processed or stored. Wash hands
carefully before eating or smoking. Handle according to established industrial hygiene and
safety practices.
