Storage
Protect from sunlight, store in a well ventilated place EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: CAUTION! This product is a clear, colorless, liquefied gas with a slight ether-like odor. Contents under pressure. Cylinders may rupture and rocket under fire conditions. Thermal decomposition can produce toxic and corrosive gases. Vapors are heavier than air. May cause asphyxia. Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns (frostbite). High vapor concentrations may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric concentrations can cause anesthetic effects progressing from dizziness, weakness, nausea, to unconsciousness. It can act as an asphyxiant by limiting available oxygen. Read the entire SDS for a more thorough evaluation of the hazards.
Health hazards
SKIN CONTACT: Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns. SKIN ABSORTION: This product will probably not be absorbed through human skin. EYES: Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns. INHALATION: Exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric concentration can cause anesthetic effects progressing from dizziness, weakness, nausea, to unconsciousness. It can act as an asphyxiant by limiting available oxygen. INGESTION: Extremely unlikely to occur in use. OTHER EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: None expected.
