oxygen, if available. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation.
SKIN CONTACT
If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of the
wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency. Even
though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within
the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury. If frostbite occurs, immerse involved
area in water at body temperature. Keep immersed for 20 to 40 minutes. Seek medical assistance.
EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical assistance.
INGESTION
Not Applicable
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This material, or a component, may be associated with cardiac sensitization following very high exposures (well
above occupational exposure limits) or with concurrent exposure to high stress levels or heart-stimulating
substances like epinephrine. Administration of such substances should be avoided.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Allow the fire to burn under controlled conditions. Stop leak if you can do it
without risk. Evacuate area. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to
protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams,
sewers, or drinking water supply. Firefighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed
spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to
protect personnel.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Flammable Gas. Vapors are flammable and heavier than air. Vapors may travel
across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Hazardous material.
Firefighters should consider protective equipment indicated in Section 8.
FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
Flash Point [Method]: <-40°C (-40°F) [ASTM D-93]
Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): LEL: 2.0 UEL: 9.5
Autoignition Temperature: 410°C (770°F)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations. US regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the
applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. The
National Response Center can be reached at (800)424-8802.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if
required due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the
Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for
advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be
necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.
For emergency responders: Respiratory protection: half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for organic
vapor or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size of the spill and
potential level of exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygen deficient
atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that provide chemical resistance
and, when necessary, heat-resistance and/or thermal insulation are recommended. Note: gloves made of
polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use. Small spills: normal
work clothes are usually adequate. Large spills: full body suit of chemical and thermal resistant material is
recommended. Chemical goggles and face shield are recommended if contact with liquefied gas is possible.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak
if you can do it without risk. CAUTION: When in contact with refrigerated/cryogenic liquids, many materials
become brittle and are likely to break without warning. Allow liquid to evaporate from the surface. All
equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not direct water at spill or source of leak.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material. If possible, turn leaking containers so that gas escapes rather
than liquid. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Prevent spreading of vapors through sewers, ventilation
systems and confined areas. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing
water runoff to contact spilled material.
Water Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Allow
liquid to evaporate from the surface. See Land Spill section of the (M)SDS for advice for gases.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
HANDLING
Prevent exposure to ignition sources, for example use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Ethyl mercaptan is added to gas as an odorant to aid in the detection of the gas in case of leak or accidental
discharge. Since ethyl mercaptan is reactive, a reduction in its effectiveness may occur during shipping and
storage of the odorized gas. Therefore, odor must not be used exclusively as a safety measure. Handle gas

with strict adherence to established safety procedures. Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures.
However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Material may contain
trace amounts of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), which will accumulate in process equipment
and storage vessels. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition
source). Auto-refrigeration: Drains can be plugged and valves may become inoperable because of the
formation of ice when expanding vapors or vaporizing liquids cause temperatures to drop below the freezing
point of water.
STORAGE
Ample fire water supply should be available. A fixed sprinkler/deluge system is recommended. The type of
container used to store the material may affect static accumulation and dissipation. Keep container closed.
Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release. Store in a cool, well-
ventilated area. Outside or detached storage preferred. Storage containers should be grounded and
bonded.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment to stay below exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use
with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate,
gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove
manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions.
Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use

OTHER INFORMATION
For the product itself:
May cause central nervous system disorder (e.g., narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue, mental
confusion and blurred vision) and/or damage.
Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite (cold burn). Exposure to this material, or
one of its components, in situations where there is the potential for high levels, such as in confined spaces or with
abuse, may result in abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). High-level exposure to hydrocarbons (above occupational
exposure limits) may initiate arrhythmia in a worker that is undergoing stress or is taking a heart-stimulating substance
such as epinephrine, a nasal decongestant, or an asthma or cardiovascular drug. Simple asphyxiant: Acts by
displacing oxygen in the lungs thereby diminishing the supply of oxygen available to the blood and tissues. Symptoms
include shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, incoordination, lethargy, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and disorientation.
Continued lack of oxygen may result in convulsions, loss of consciousness and death. Since exercise increases the
tissue need for oxygen, symptoms will occur more quickly during exertion in an oxygen-deficient environment. Oxygen
in enclosed spaces should be maintained at 21 percent by volume.
