Rescuers should be taken for medical attention if necessary. Take a copy of the label and the MSDS <br /> to physician or other health professional with victim(s). <br /> 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES <br /> FLASH POINT, (method): Not applicable. <br /> AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable. NFPA RATING <br /> FLAMMABLE LIMITS(in air by volume %): FLAMMABILITY <br /> Lower(LEL): Not applicable. <br /> Upper(UEL): Not applicable. 0 <br /> FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: Non-flammable gas HEALTH 1 0 REACTIVITY <br /> mixture. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. <br /> UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This gas mixture <br /> is not flammable; however, containers, when involved in fire, may <br /> rupture or burst in the heat of the fire. OTHER <br /> Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive. <br /> Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive. <br /> SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing <br /> Apparatus and full protective equipment. <br /> �— 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br /> LEAK RESPONSE: DUE' to the small size and content of the cylinder, an accidental release of this product <br /> presents significantly less risk of an oxygen deficient environment and other safety hazards than a similar <br /> release from a larger cylinder. However, as with any chemical release, extreme caution must be used during <br /> emergency response procedures. In the event of a release in which the atmosphere is unknown, and in which <br /> other chemicals are potentially involved, evacuate immediate area. Such releases should be responded to by <br /> trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a leak, <br /> clear the affected area, protect people, and respond with trained personnel. <br /> Allow the gas mixture to dissipate. If necessary, monitor the surrounding area (and the original area of the <br /> release) for oxygen. Oxygen levels must be above 19.5% before non-emergency personnel are allowed to re- <br /> enter area. <br /> If leaking incidentally from the cylinder, contact your supplier. <br /> 7. HANDLING and USE <br /> WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue, especially if <br /> work is done in a poorly-ventilated area; exposures to fatal concentrations of this product could occur without any <br /> significant warning symptoms, due to oxygen deficiency. Do not attempt to repair, adjust, or in any other way <br /> modify cylinders containing this gas mixture. If there is a malfunction or another type of operational problem, <br /> contact nearest distributor immediately. <br /> STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: Cylinders should be firmly secured to prevent falling or being <br /> knocked-over. Cylinders must be protected from the environment, and preferably kept at room temperature <br /> (approximately 21°C; 700F). Cylinders should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas, away from sources of heat, <br /> ignition, and direct sunlight.. Protect cylinders against physical damage. <br /> Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent full <br /> containers from being stored for long periods of time. These cylinders are not refillable. WARNING! Do not <br /> refill DOT 39 cylinders. To do so may cause personal injury or property damage. <br /> SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS: WARNING! Compressed gases can present <br /> significant safety hazards. During cylinder use, use equipment designed for these specific cylinders. Ensure all <br /> lines and equipment are rated for proper service pressure. <br /> PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices <br /> indicated in Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain that application equipment is locked and <br /> tagged-out safely. Always use product in areas where adequate ventilation is provided. <br /> NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE MSDS-50054 EFFECTIVE DATE: November 12,2002 <br /> PAGE 30F7 <br />
