Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Move patient from contaminated area to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
In case of persistent problems : Consult a physician.
Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water. Frostbite : treat as thermal burns.
Eye contact: Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Hospitalise.
Protection of first-aiders: If entering a saturated atmosphere, wear a self contained breathing apparatus.
Notes to physician: Treatment: Do not administer catecholamines (because of the cardiac effect caused by the product)
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry powder
Specific hazards arising from the chemical: Extremely flammable liquefied gas.
At high temperature:, Thermal decomposition giving toxic and corrosive products :, Hydrogen Fluoride
Specific methods: Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke.
Cool containers / tanks with water spray. Ensure a system for the rapid emptying of containers. In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours.
In enclosed areas : ventilate or wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (risk of anoxia). Remove all sources of ignition. Do not smoke.
Environmental precautions: Do not release into the environment.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Technical measures/Precautions:
Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: pressurised liquified gas Extremely flammable With vapours explosive in air. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide water supplies, ocular fountains and showers near the point of use. Well ventilate empty vats and tanks before entering.Provide self -contained breathing apparatus nearby (for emergency intervention).
Safe handling advice:
Prohibit ignition sources and contact with hot surfaces - DO NOT SMOKE.
Hygiene measures:
Do not smoke. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours.
Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect full containers from sources of heat to avoid overpressurization. Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres.
Do not store above: 45 °C
Incompatible products: Strong oxidizing agents
Packaging material: Recommended: Ordinary steel
To be avoided: Alloys containing more than 2% of magnesium
