Precautionary statements

Danger (H280) Contains Gases (General P210) Keep away from heat/sparks/open under Pressure; may flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. explode if heated. (Reaction P377 + P381) Leaking gas fire: Do not (H220) Extremely extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. Eliminate flammable gas. Liquefied Gas all ignition sources if safe to do so. (P403) Store in a well ventilated place. 2(c) Describe any hazard not otherwise classified that have been identified during the classification process Propane gas can pool in low areas and travel along the ground where an ignition source may be present.. Large amount of potential energy resulting from compression of the gas makes the cylinder a potential rocket or fragmentation bomb. 2(d) Where an ingredient with unknown acute toxicity is used in a mixture at a concentration = 1% and the mixture is not classified based on testing of the mixture as a whole, a statement that X% of the mixture consist of ingredient(s) of unknown acute toxicity is required. Propane, CAS No. 74-98-6, consists of 0% of unknown acute toxicity.
