Statements

H220

Extremely flammable gas

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Classification of the substance or mixture

Signal word

Danger

Physical hazards

H220 Extremely flammable gas. H280 Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.

Health hazards

H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness.

Environmental hazards

Not classified as environmental hazard according to CLP criteria.

Prevention

P210 Keep away from heat/ sparks/ open flames/ hot surfac- es. No smoking. P243 Take precautionary measures against static discharge. P261 Avoid breathing dust/ fume/ gas/ mist/ vapours/ spray.

Response

P377 Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. P381 Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. P304 + P340 IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.

Storage

P410 + P403 Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place.

Disposal

P501 Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant.

2.3 Other hazards

The substance does not fulfill all screening criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity and hence is not considered to be PBT or vPvB.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to REACH Article 57(f) or Commission Delegated regu- lation (EU) 2017/2100 or Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% or higher.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to REACH Article 57(f) or Commission Delegated regulation (EU) 2017/2100 or Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% or higher. May form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. This material is a static accumulator. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur. This material is shipped under pressure. High gas concentrations will displace available air; unconsciousness and death may occur sud- denly from lack of oxygen. Rapid release of gases which are liquids under pressure may cause frost burns of exposed tis- sues (skin, eye) due to evaporative cooling.
