H280 Contain gas under pressure; may explode if heated.
H336 May cause drowsiness and dizziness.

Precautionary Statements:

P261 Avoid breathing vapors/spray.
P271 Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

P304 + P340 IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.

Information pertaining to particular dangers for man and environment: Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor may cause
central nervous system effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, anesthesia, or unconsciousness. When used on a fire, hazardous
decomposition products are formed, but typically are within safe emergency exposure limits. Misuse or intentional inhalation
abuse may lead to death without warning.

Routes of Exposure

Sign and Symptoms of Exposure

Emergency and First-Aid Procedures

Skin:

Evaporative cooling can result in chilling
sensations or frostbite effects. Short
exposures, such as when filling
equipment or in other situations, should
not have a lasting effect.

Wash exposed area with water. If
irritation develops and persists, call a
physician.

Inhalation:

Significant exposure may cause central
nervous system effects such as dizziness,
drowsiness, anesthesia, or
unconsciousness. High concentrations of
20,000 ppm (v/v) or higher, may cause
cardiac arrhythmia.

Remove to fresh air. Oxygen or
artificial respiration if necessary. Call
a physician if breathing difficulties
occur.

Ingestion:

Not likely to occur in industrial use.
Highly volatile liquid.

Clean mouth with water and drink
plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean
person forward to reduce risk of
aspiration. Call a physician.

Eyes:

Irritation and tearing may result. Mild to
moderate reversible eye effects.

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water,
also under eyelids. If eye irritation
persists, consult a specialist.

SECTION IV. First Aid Measures

SAFETY DATA SHEET

HALOTRON™ I PRE-SAT

Description of the most important symptons or effects: Halotron I is a colorless volatile, pressurized liquid with a slight
ether-like odor. As with any chemical, dose and exposure are critically important variables to understand any potential
treatment. Short-term exposure to high concentrations may result in central nervous system and cardiac effects. Long-term
exposure to concentrations above those time-weighted averages recommended herein may result in liver effects.

Note to physician: This material may make the heart more susceptible to arrhythmias. Catecholamines such as adrenaline,
and other compounds having similar effects, should be reserved for emergencies then used only with special caution.

SECTION V. Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: N/A. This product is an extinguishing agent. At normal pressure and temperature this product is
nonflammable and noncombustible.
Special firefighting precautions/instructions: Ensure that the area where the fire occurred is well ventilated before re­entering. Wear protective clothing. Use water spray or fog to cool storage containers to help prevent an uncontrolled
pressure release.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: The concentrated agent when applied to fire can produce toxic by-products
specifically hydrogen halides, which can cause damage. Avoid inhalation of these materials by evacuating and ventilating
the area.
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact or Static Discharge: None

SECTION VI. Accidental Release Measures

In case of accidental release of large amounts into a confined area that would exceed 2% at 120ºF, evacuate and ventilate.
Product will produce large volumes of heavier than air vapor. Responders need self-contained breathing apparatus or
supplied air respirator level of respiratory protection. Large spills (cylinders of 250 lbs. or more) should be addressed by
hazardous materials technicians following a site-specific emergency response plan and trained in the appropriate use of
personal protection equipment. Prevent material from entering surface or ground water. Keep containers away from heat
sources that might cause rupture since these containers are under pressure. Dike spill area then use absorbents or pump
product directly into drums. Handle and dispose of as a hazardous waste unless testing indicates otherwise. Clean spill area
with wet vac and decontaminate with detergent and water. If product is used and /or contaminated, use personal protection
equipment and containment appropriate to the nature of the mixture. For further information, please contact supplier.
