General advice
MSDS Number:100000002557
:
Move out of dangerous area. Show this material safety data
sheet to the doctor in attendance. Do not leave the victim
unattended.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
ETHANE PROPANE MIXTURE
Version 1.1
Revision Date 2011-04-18
If inhaled
:
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of eye contact
:
Flush eyes with water as a precaution. Remove contact
lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while
rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
If swallowed
:
Induce vomiting immediately and call a physician. Take victim
immediately to hospital. Keep respiratory tract clear. If
symptoms persist, call a physician.
Flash point
:
-134 °C (-209 °F)
Suitable extinguishing
media
:
Alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
:
High volume water jet.
Specific hazards during fire
fighting
:
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses.
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters
:
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if
necessary.
Further information
:
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This
must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and
contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations. For safety reasons in case
of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed
containments. Use a water spray to cool fully closed
containers.
Fire and explosion
protection
:
Do not spray on an open flame or any other incandescent
material. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity
discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapors). Use
only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from open flames,
hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
:
Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate
personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to
form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low
areas.
Environmental precautions
:
Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage
or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers
and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Advice on safe handling
:
Do not breathe vapors/dust. Avoid exposure - obtain special
instructions before use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For
personal protection see section 8. Smoking, eating and
drinking should be prohibited in the application area. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Provide
sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Open
drum carefully as content may be under pressure. Dispose of
rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
Advice on protection
against fire and explosion
:
Do not spray on an open flame or any other incandescent
material. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity
discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapors). Use
only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from open flames,
hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
:
Prevent unauthorized access. No smoking. Keep container
tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Observe label
precautions. Electrical installations / working materials must
comply with the technological safety standards.

A2 Suspected human carcinogen: Human data are accepted as adequate in quality but are conflicting or insufficient to classify the
agent as a confirmed human carcinogen; OR, the agent is carcinogenic in experimental animals at dose(s), by route(s) of exposure,
at site(s), of histologic type(s), or by mechanism(s) considered relevant to worker exposure. The A2 is used primarily when there is
limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals with relevance to
humans.
A4 Not classifiable as a human carcinogen: Agents which cause concern that they could be carcinogenic for humans but which cannot
be assessed conclusively because of a lack of data. In vitro or animal studies do not provide indications of carcinogenicity which
are sufficient to classify the agent into one of the other categories.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection
:
Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors.
Hand protection
:
The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed
with the producers of the protective gloves.
Eye protection
:
Eye wash bottle with pure water. Tightly fitting safety goggles.
