Not applicable
: Immediately remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, qualified personnel may give oxygen. Call a physician. WARNING: To avoid possible
chemical burns, the rescuer should avoid breathing any exhaled air from the victim.
: In case of contact, immediately flush affected areas with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Wash clothing before reuse.
Discard contaminated shoes.
: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids open and
away from the eyeballs to ensure that all surfaces are flushed thoroughly. Contact an
ophthalmologist immediately.

General measures
6.1.1.
6.1.2.
6.2.
Environmental precautions
Try to stop release. Reduce vapor with fog or fine water spray. Prevent waste from contaminating
the surrounding environment. Prevent soil and water pollution. Dispose of contents/container in
accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations. Contact supplier for any special
requirements.
6.3.
6.4.
7.2.
: Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from
physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place
removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to
protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand
truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver,
pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an
adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the
valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve
after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to
any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the
pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions
in using this product, see section 16.
Storage conditions
: Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store and use with adequate ventilation. Store only
where temperature will not exceed 125F (52C). Firmly secure containers upright to keep
them from falling or being knocked over. Install valve protection cap, if provided, firmly in place
by hand. Store full and empty containers separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system
to prevent storing full containers for long periods.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE: When handling product
under pressure, use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to
be encountered. Never work on a pressurized system. Use a back flow preventive device in
the piping. Gases can cause rapid suffocation because of oxygen deficiency; store and use
with adequate ventilation. If a leak occurs, close the container valve and blow down the system
in a safe and environmentally correct manner in compliance with all international,
federal/national, state/provincial, and local laws; then repair the leak. Never place a container
where it may become part of an electrical circuit.

Exposure controls
: Use a corrosion-resistant local exhaust ventilation system with sufficient air flow velocity to
maintain concentration below all applicable exposure limits in the worker's breathing zone. A
canopy-type, forced-draft fume hood is preferred.
Hand protection
Eye protection
: Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers. Wear safety glasses when
handling cylinders; vapor-proof goggles and a face shield during cylinder changeout or
whenever contact with product is possible. Select eye protection in accordance with OSHA 29
CFR 1910.133.
: Wear metatarsal shoes and work gloves for cylinder handling, and protective clothing where
needed. Wear appropriate chemical gloves (e.g. neoprene, nitrile, etc.) during cylinder
changeout or wherever contact with product is possible. Select per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132,
1910.136, and 1910.138.
Respiratory protection
: When workplace conditions warrant respirator use, follow a respiratory protection program that
meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2, or MSHA 30 CFR 72.710 (where applicable).
Use an air-supplied or air-purifying cartridge if the action level is exceeded. Ensure that the
respirator has the appropriate protection factor for the exposure level. If cartridge type
respirators are used, the cartridge must be appropriate for the chemical exposure (e.g., an
organic vapor cartridge). For emergencies or instances with unknown exposure levels, use a
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
