Other hazards which do not result in classification

Physical-Chemical Properties Extremely flammable May form explosive mixtures with air In case of a leak, this gas travels along the ground since it is HEAVIER THAN AIR, and may ACCUMULATE IN LOW AREAS IF VENTILATION IS LACKING and may ignite at a distance. Accidental intense heating (in case of fire for example) of a container filled with this gas can lead to bursting and spreading of the product whose vapours may ignite causing deflagration or explosion

Potential health effects

In the gaseous phase: may have a slight anaesthetic effect and/or an asphyxiating effect as it reduces the oxygen content in the air. Contact with product may cause frostbite.
