Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Vigorously accelerates combustion.Keep oil, grease, and combustibles away.May react violently with combustible materials.Compressed liquefied gas.Direct contact with liquid can cause frostbite.Potential Health Effects
Inhalation : In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness.Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Asphyxiation may bring about unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that victim may be unable to protect themselves.Eye contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite. No adverse effect.Skin contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.Ingestion : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.Physical and Chemical Properties
