Hazard statements
HIGH PRESSURE GAS. GAS REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING. AT VERY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS, CAN DISPLACE THE NORMAL AIR AND CAUSE SUFFOCATION FROM LACK OF OXYGEN. MAY CAUSE TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE, BASED ON ANIMAL DATA.
Precautionary statements
Contains gas under pressure. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst or explode. At very high concentrations, can displace the normal air and cause suffocation from lack of oxygen. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Do not breathe gas. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Potential Acute Health Effects
