Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Ruptured cylinders may rocket. Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors from
liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating and
toxic gases and vapors.
