Hazard pictograms

F+: Extremely flammable. Danger phrase R12: Extremely flammable. Security phrases S2 Keep out of reach of children S9 Keep container in a well-ventilated place S16 Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking Butane and its mixtures are manufactured, stored, transported and distributed under pressure in liquefied form. In normal conditions, they remain in sealed systems up until their final destruction by combustion (use), and are therefore never handled directly. The continual confinement of these gases is of utmost importance. Nevertheless, certain special precautions are recommended to prevent or deal with their accidental release into the atmosphere, i.e. a leak. Physical and chemical properties extremely flammable In the event of a leak, as gas is heavier than air, it has a tendency, in the absence of ventilation, to accumulate at the lowest possible levels. The intense heating of a container can cause it to rupture, allowing the product to escape; the ignition of vapour can give rise to deflagration or explosion.

Health hazards

in gaseous state, breathing in highly concentrated vapours can cause drowsiness, intoxication, narcosis and in extreme cases, coma through the rarefaction of oxygen. In liquid state, it can cause cold burns. in particular in the event of projection
