Hazard statements
H220 Extremely flammable gas. H280 Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.
Supplemental label elements
Overheating or overpressurizing may cause gas release or violent cylinder bursting. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products. May cause frostbite. May cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness. May cause cardiac sensitization/cardiac arrhythmia. May displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation.
Prevention
P210 Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
Response
P377 Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. P381 Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
