=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: IRRITATION, DEFATTING. LIQUID
    MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE.  EYES: LIQUID CAN CAUSE SEVERE FROSTBITE. MIST
    MAY IRRITATE.  INGESTION: IS AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE BECAUSE
    OF ITS LOW BOILING POINT. SHO ULD IT OCCUR, DISCOMFORT IN THE GI
    TRACT WOULD RESULT FROM THE RAPID EVAPORATION OF THE LIQUID.
    NECROSIS FROM FREEZING OF TISSUE COULD OCCUR.  INHALATION: GENETRON
    12 IS LOW IN TOXICITY IN ANIMALS EVE N AT A CONCENTRATION OF 5%
    (50,000 PPM); HOWEVER, WHEN OXYGEN LEVEL IS REDUCED TO 12-14%,
    SYMPTOMS OF ASPHYXIATION, LOSS OF COORDINATION, INCREASED PULSE
    RATE AND DEEPER RESPIRATION WILL OCCUR. AT HIG H LEVELS, CARDIAC
    ARRHYTHMIA MAY OCCUR.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED BY NTP, IARC, OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: SYMPTOMS OF ASPHYXATION, LOSS OF
    COORDINATION, INCREASED PULSE RATE AND DEEPER RESPIRATION, CARDIAC
    ARRHYTHMIA. INGESTION: GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT DICOMFORT, NECROSIS.
    SKIN: IRRITATION, DEF ATTING, FROSTBITE. EYES: FROSTBITE,
    IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:SKIN: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER. FOR FROSTBITE, BATHE (DO
    NOT RUB) WITH LUKEWARM (NOT HOT) WATER. IF NO WATER, COVER WITH
    CLEAN, SOFT WOOL OR SIMILAR COVERING. CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH
    WITH LUKE WARM WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. LIFTING EYELIDS
    OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INGESTION:
    UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS
    INSTRUCTED BY PHYSICIA N. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT
    BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. USE OXYGEN AS REQUIRED IF A
    QUALIFIED OPERATOR IS AVAILABLE. CALL A PHYSICIAN. DO NOT GIVE
    EPINEPHRINE (ADRENALINE).

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:NO FLASH POINT
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY STANDARD AGENT; CHOOSE THE ONE MOST
    APPROPRIATE FOR TYPE OF SURROUNDING FIRE (MATERIAL ITSELF IS NOT
    FLAMMABLE).
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED,
    NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST POSSIBLE
    TOXIC DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS. PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD
    BE PROVIDED. USE WATER S PRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL
    AND TO SUPPRESS VAPORS
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH CERTAIN REACTIVE METALS MAY
    RESULT IN FORMATION OF EXPLOSIVE OR EXOTHERNIC REACTIONS UNDER
    SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (E.G. VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND/OR APPROPRIATE
    PRESSURES)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:ALWAYS WEAR RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT. EVACUATE  UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. PROTECTED PERSONNEL
    SHOULD REMOVE ANY IGNITION SOURCES AND SHUT OFF LEAK, IF WITHOUT
    RISK, AND PROVIDE VENTILATI ON.  UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL SHOULD NOT
    RETURN UNTIL AIR HAS BEEN TESTED AND DETERMINED SAFE, INCLUDING
    LOW-LYING AREAS. SPILLS AND RELEASES MAY HAVE TO BE REPORTED TO
    FEDERAL AND/OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
    AVOID BREATHING VAPORS, LIQUID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, CLOTHING.
    DO NOT PUNCTURE OR DROP CYLINDERS, EXPOSE THEM TO OPEN FLAME OR
    EXCESSIVE HEAT. USE AUTHORIZED CON TAINERS. FOLLOW STANDARD SAFETY
    PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND USE OF CYLINDERS OF COMPRESSED GASES.
Other Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA OF LOW FIRE
    RISK. PROTECT CONTAINER AND ITS FITTINGS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
    STORAGE IN SUBSURFACE LOCATIONS SHOULD BE AVOIDED. CLOSE VALVE
    TIGHTLY AND REPLACE BUNG  AFTER USE AND WHEN EMPTY.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE GENERALLY REQUIRED FOR ADEQUATELY
    VENTILATED WORK SITUATIONS. FOR ACCIDENTAL OR NON-VENTILATED
    SITUATIONS, ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED PEL (1000 PPM), USE A
    SELF-CONTAINED NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPA RTUS OR SUPPLIED AIR
    RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST AT FILLING ZONES AND WHERE LEAKAGE IN
    PROBABLE. MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION MAY BE ADEQUATE FOR
    OTHER OPERATING AND STORAGE AREAS
Protective Gloves:PVA, NEOPRENE, OR BUTYL RUBBER INSULATED GLOVES FOR
    LIQUID OR GAS CONTACT.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES FOR NORMAL, CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES IF
    LIQUID CONTACT POSSIBLE.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERVIOUS BOOTS IN CASE OF LEAKAGE OR
    SPILLAGE OR PROBABILITY OF REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT WITH
    LIQUID PRODUCT. PROVIDE EYEWASH STATIONS, QUICK-DRENCH SHOWER
    FACILITIES.
