Extremely flammable gas

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

It is an extremely flammable liquefied gas Classification resulting from application Regulation 1272/2008: Class code for hazard category PRESS. GAS: Gas under pressure FLAM. GAS 1: Flammable gas Cat 1. CARC. 1B MUTA. 1B CAUTION the classification Carc 1B and Muta. 1B are not required, according to Note K for substances that contain less than 0.1% of 1.3-butadiene weight /weight. If the substance is not classified as a carcinogen or mutagen, at least include safety advice (P102-)P210- P403. As a result of the above, the following is only the details of the carcinogenic and mutagenic substances not classified. Hazards indication code: H220 Hazard indication and R phrases: H220: Extremely flammable gas P102: Keep out of reach of children P210: Keep away from heat / sparks / open flames / hot surfaces. Do not smoke P403: Store in a well ventilated area2.2. Éléments d’étiquetage

2.3 Other hazards

In the prescribed storage and use conditions, there is no risk for the users of the product. The following will provide information about other dangerous conditions which, although not define the classifi- cation of the substance, contributing to the danger of the same: In case of outflow, the fluid leaking from the container quickly evaporates, mixes with air and generates a risk of fire and/or explosion. It may create an explosive mix with air, especially in closed environments or in empty, not decontaminated vessels. The product is not deemed toxic, yet the build up of vapours in confined environments may cause asphyxia (due to oxygen deficiency). Vapours are invisible, yet the expansion of the fluid generates fog in presence of wet air. Vapours density is higher than air and they propagate near the ground. A significant heating of the vessel (for instance in case of fire) causes a huge increase of the fluid volume and pressure, with danger of burst of the vessel containing it. The contact with the fluid may cause severe injuries to skin and eyes due to cold. Combustion produces CO2 (carbon dioxide), asphyxiating gas; in case of oxygen deficiency, due to insuffi- cient aeration/ventilation/fume discharge, it may produce CO (carbon monoxide), a highly toxic gas. 3
