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 an environmental hazard under GHS criteria.
Prevention
P210 Keep away from heat/ sparks/ open flames/ hot surfaces. No smoking. P243 Take precautionary measures against static discharge. P261 Avoid breathing dust/ fume/ gas/ mist/ vapours/ spray. P271 Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
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 victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P312 Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/ physician if you feel unwell.

Disposal
P501 Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant.
Other hazards which do not result in classification
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 suddenly from lack of oxygen.Rapid release of gases which are liquids under pressure may cause frost burns of exposed tissues (skin, eye) due to evaporative cooling. 3.
