medical attention. Ingestion of liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite. If frostbite
occurs, get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Maintain an open airway. As this product rapidly becomes a gas when released, refer to
the inhalation section.
Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. To avoid the risk of static discharges and
gas ignition, soak contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it. Get
medical attention if symptoms occur. In case of contact with liquid, warm frozen tissues
slowly with lukewarm water and get medical attention. Do not rub affected area. Wash
clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
Contains gas under pressure. Extremely flammable gas. In a fire or if heated, a
pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent
explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along the ground. Gas
may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of
ignition and flash back, causing fire or explosion.
In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam or dry chemical.
