Material Safety Data Sheet

Skin protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Neoprene or nitrile gloves are recommended.
Hand protection
Skin protection
Wear protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure.
Other
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved respirator must be worn.
Respiratory protection
Contact with liquefied gas might cause frostbites, in some cases with tissue damage. Wear
appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Thermal hazards
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Provide
eyewash station and safety shower. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices.
