	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Not combustible. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.		In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Suffocation. See Notes.	Use ventilation.	Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE.	Cold-insulating gloves.	ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	See Skin.	Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Ventilation. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 2.2
STORAGE
Fireproof if in building. Cool.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance ODOURLESS COLOURLESS COMPRESSED LIQUEFIED GAS. Physical dangers The vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen. Chemical dangers Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames. This produces toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.

Effects of short-term exposure
Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite.

Inhalation risk
A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 1000 ppm as TWA

ENVIRONMENT
Avoid release to the environment because of its impact on the ozone layer.

NOTES
High concentrations in the air cause a deficiency of oxygen with the risk of unconsciousness or death. Check oxygen content before entering area. Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state.
