Further information

Contact with the liquid the may cause cold burns/frostbite. High concentration of vapours may induce: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and vomiting. ED: not relevant – no registration required Butane and its mixtures are produced, stored, transported and distributed under pressure in liquefied form. They are never subjected, under normal conditions, to direct handling because they are confined, without interruption, in closed systems until final destruction by combustion (use). The precautions to take are, above all, to maintain containment. However, certain specific precautions are indicated to prevent or deal with accidental venting resulting from possible leaks. Physico-chemical properties Extremely flammable In the event of a leak, the gas, heavier than air, collects in the lower parts, in the absence of ventilation. The intense heating of a container can lead to its rupture and to the spreading of the product; ignition of vapors may cause deflagration or explosion. Danger for humans In the gaseous state: Inhalation of vapors at high concentration can cause drowsiness, intoxication, narcosis and in extreme cases, coma due to oxygen depletion (anesthetic and asphyxiating effect ). In the liquid state: Burns from the cold, especially in the event of projection.
