2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

EC ــ GHS Main hazards

Potential health effects

Inhalation narcotic in case of inhalation of high concentration of vapour Skin contact Liquefied gas splashes may cause freeze burns Eye contact Liquefied gas splashes may cause freeze burns Irritating to eyes Ingestion ingestion during handling is not likely.

Environmental effects

avoid losses to the environment whenever possible.

Other physicochemical hazards

Extremely flammable flowing product can create electrostatic charge, resulting sparks may ignite or cause an explosion. In use, may form flammable / explosive vapour-air mixture. the vapour is heavier than air and explosive mixtures can accumulate in low spots: it may be ignited at some distance away from the spill resulting in flashbacks. spills or leaks may cause a hight risk of fire and explosion.
