HAZARD (GHS) |
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|
| May cause or intensify fire; oxidizer / Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated / Toxic if inhaled / Cause damage to organ (lung, blood) |
|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Safety shower and eye bath. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Wash thoroughly after handling.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: Government approved respirator in nonventilated areas and/or for exposure above the TLV or PEL.
Hand Protection: Compatible chemical-resistant gloves.
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles.
WORK PRACTICES
Store and use with adequate ventilation. |
 |
HANDLING
Directions for Safe Handling: Do not breathe gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
STORAGE
Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed. Cylinder temperature should not exceed 125?F (52?C). Keep away from combustible materials, heat, sparks, and open flame.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
Contents under pressure. Air and moisture sensitive. |
|
PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL
Evacuate area and keep personnel upwind. Shut off leak if there is no risk.
PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete. |

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Water spray.
Unsuitable: Do not use halocarbon extinguishers. Do not use dry chemical powder extinguisher on this material. Do not use carbon dioxide extinguisher on this material.
SPECIAL RISKS
Specific Hazard(s): Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Contact with other material may cause fire. May accelerate combustion.
Explosion Hazards: Mixtures with carbon disulfide, nitrogen trichloride, or perchloryl fluoride explode violently when ignited. Mixtures of nitric oxide and phosphine explode on the addition of oxygen. Reacts explosively with dichlorine oxide or vinyl chloride. Reacts vigorously with fluorine, fluorine oxide, chlorine, or bromine. On mixing with potassium sulfide or amorphous boron ignition occurs. Mixing with pyrophoric chromium results in incandescence. Mixtures with rubidium acetylide, calcium, potassium, or uranium require heating before ignition occurs.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY
Vigorously supports combustion. |
|
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician. |
