3.HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION

This product does not contain oxygen and may cause asphyxia if released in a confined area. Simple

hydrocarbons can cause irritation and central nervous system depression at high concentrations. Extremely

flammable.

EYE EFFECTS:

None anticipated as product is a gas at room temperature.

SKIN EFFECTS:

None anticipated as product is a gas at room temperature.

INGESTION EFFECTS:

Ingestion is unlikely.

INHALATION EFFECTS:

Product is relatively nontoxic. Simple hydrocarbons can irritate the eyes, mucous membranes and respiratory system at high concentrations.

Inhalation of high concentrations may cause dizziness, disorientation, incoordination, narcosis, or nausea or narcotic.

Page 2: Isobutane Continued

This product may displace oxygen if released in a confined space. Maintain oxygen levels above 19.5% at sea level to prevent asphyxiation. Effects of oxygen deficiency resulting from simple asphyxiants may include: rapid breahing, diminished mental alertness, impaired muscular coordination, faulty judgement, depression of all sensations, emotional instability, and fatigue. As asphyxiation progresses, nausea, vomiting, prostration, and loss of consciousness may result, eventually leading to convulsions, coma, and death.

Oxygen deficiency during pregnancy has produced developmental abnormalities in humans and experimental animals.

4.FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES

Never introduce oil or ointment into the eyes without medical advice! If pain is present, refer the victim to an ophthalmologist for further treatment and follow-up.

SKIN

Remove contaminated clothing and flush affected area with cold water and soap. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

INGESTION

Not normally required. Seek immediate medical attention.

INHALATION:

PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO PRODUCT. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. Conscious persons should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and inhale fresh air. Quick removal from the contaminated area is most important. Unconscious persons should be moved to an uncontaminated area, given assisted (artificial) respiration and supplemental oxygen. Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.

5.FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES

FLASH POINT: -117o F	(-83o C) Closed Cup
AUTOIGNITION: 778o F	(420 o C)

LOWER EXPOLSIVE LIMIT (%): 1.8

UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): 8.4

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS.

Isobutane is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to an ignition source. Isobutane is a flammable gas! Keep away from open flame and other sources of ignition. Do not allow smoking in storage areas or when handling.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Water, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

If possible, stop the flow of gas with a remote valve.. Use water spray to cool exposed containers. If fire is extinguished and flow of gas is continues, increase ventilation to prevent a build up of a flammable/explosive atmosphere. Extinguish sources of ignition.
