May ignite spontaneously in contact with air. Releases which have not spontaneously ignited mus t be considered extremely dangerous, and should not be approached. Pyrophoric gas. High pressure gas. Can cause rapid suffocation. Extremely flammable. May form explosive mixtures in air. 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. Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.
