impractical to use, wrap the affected part gently in a blanket. If fingers or hands are frostbitten, place the affected part in the
armpit. Have victim gently exercise the affected part while being warmed. Seek immediate medical attention. Take a copy of
this SDS to the attending physicia n or health professional. For more information see supplier website.

SECTION V. Fire fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: This product is an extinguishing agent. It is nonflammable and noncombustible.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Structural firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective

equipment. Move fire exposed cylinders if it can be done without risk to firefighters. Otherwise cool containers with hose
stream and protect personnel. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sounds from venting safety device or any discoloration
of tanks due to fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosi on H az ar ds : Containers of carbon dioxide, when involved in fire, may rupture or burst from the
heat of the fire.
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact or Static Discharge: None

ECTION VI. Accidental Release Measures

S

In case of accidental release, use the appropriate respiratory and personal protection. Evacuate the area and allow the gas,
which is heavier than air, to dissipate. Monitor the surrounding area for carbon dioxide and oxygen levels. The levels of
carbon dioxide must be below those listed in Section II and the atmosphere must have at least 19.5% oxygen before
personnel are allowed back into the area.

CTION VII. Handli ng and Storage

Avoid eye, respiratory, and skin exposure. Use the appropriate personal protective equipment when handling. Be aware of
any signs of dizziness, fatigue, or any exposure symptom described in Section II. Product should be stored in dry, well­ventilated areas away from sources of heat. Store in its original container or extinguisher. Containers are under pressure and
present significant safety hazards. Store away from heavily trafficked areas and paths for ingress/egress. Protect containers
from possible damage and falling. Secure cylinders to prevent accidental knock over. Protect from sunlight. For more
information see supplier website.

SECTION VIII. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
