SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1. Description of First-aid Measures
General: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where
possible). If frostbite or freezing occurs, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water to GENTLY warm the affected area. Do not
use hot water. Do not rub affected area. Get immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: When symptoms occur: go into open air and ventilate suspected area. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty
persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Drench affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention if
irritation develops or persists. Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area. Get immediate medical
advice/attention.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.
4.2. Most Important Symptoms and Effects Both Acute and Delayed
General: Contact with gas escaping the container can cause frostbite.
Inhalation: Contains a small amount of gases that are simple asphyxiants. If a large amount of gas is released in a confined space,
gas could be toxic as a simple asphyxiant by displacing oxygen from the air. Prolonged exposure may cause irritation.
Skin Contact: May cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. Contact with gas escaping the container can cause frostbite and
freeze burns.
Eye Contact: Contact with gas escaping the container can cause frostbite, freeze burns, and permanent eye damage.
Ingestion: Not considered a potential route of exposure, but contact with gas escaping the container can cause freeze burns and
frostbite.
Chronic Symptoms: None expected under normal conditions of use.
4.3. Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If exposed or concerned, get medical advice and attention. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1. Extinguishing Media
5.2. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture
5.3. Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures Fire: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire.
Firefighting Instructions: Remove containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Do not breathe fumes from fires or
vapors from decomposition. Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. In case of major fire and large quantities:
Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition generates: Carbon oxides (CO, CO
2
). Nitrogen oxides. Sodium oxides.
Formaldehyde. Will decompose above 150 °C (> 300 °F) releasing formaldehyde vapors.
Reference to Other Sections
Refer to Section 9 for flammability properties.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1. Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures
General Measures: Avoid prolonged contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing (vapor, mist, gas). Keep away from open
flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon
dioxide.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a heavy water stream. Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire.
Fire Hazard: In accordance with subsections 31.4 and 31.5 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
Manual of Tests and Criteria, for Ignition distance test, and Enclosed space ignition test this material is not classified as a flammable
aerosol.
Explosion Hazard: Container may explode in heat of fire.
Reactivity: Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.
