2.3 Other hazards
Can cause rapid suffocation. Extremely flammable liquefied gas. May form explosive mixtures in air. Vapors may spread long distances and ignite. Immediate fire and explosion hazard exists when mixed with air at concentrations exceeding the lower flammability limit (LFL). High concentrations that can cause rapid suffocation are within the flammable range and should not be entered. Avoid breathing gas. Direct contact with liquid can cause frostbite. Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.
