3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a colorless, odorless gas. Releases of this product for which Nitrogen is the balance gas may produce oxygen-deficient atmospheres
(especially in confined spaces or other poorly ventilated environments); individuals in such atmospheres may be asphyxiated. Components of this product (1,1,2-Trichloro-1,1,2-
trifluoroethane, Tetrafluoromethane, Trichlorofluoromethane, and Dichlorodifluoromethane) may cause drowsiness and other central nervous system effects in high concentrations;
however, due to their low concentration in this gas mixture, this is unlikely to occur. If components of this product (1,1,2-Trichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane, Tetrafluoromethane,
Trichlorofluoromethane, and Dichlorodifluoromethane) are exposed to fire, they may decompose yielding toxic products (i.e. hydrogen fluoride, phosgene, hydrogen chloride,
carbonyl fluoride).
SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant route of over-exposure for
this product is by inhalation. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INFORMATION
SYSTEM
INHALATION: Due to the small size of an individual cylinder of this product, no unusual health effects from over-
exposure to the product are anticipated under routine circumstances of use. The chief health hazard associated with HEALTH (BLUE) 1
this gas mixture for which Nitrogen is the balance gas and is released in a small, poorly-ventilated area (i.e. an
enclosed or confined space) is the development of an oxygen-deficient environment. Individuals breathing such an

mixture may cause the following health effects:
For routine industrial applications
ACUTE: Due to the small size of the individual cylinder of this product, no unusual health effects from exposure to the product are anticipated under routine circumstances of use. The
most significant hazard associated with this gas mixture when it contains less than 19.5% oxygen is the potential for exposure to oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Symptoms of oxygen
deficiency include respiratory difficulty, ringing in ears, headaches, shortness of breath, wheezing, headache, dizziness, indigestion, nausea, unconsciousness, and death. The skin of a
victim of over-exposure may have a blue color.
CHRONIC: There are currently no known adverse health effects associated with chronic exposure to this gas.
TARGET ORGANS: Respiratory system.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. If
necessary, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus must be worn.
No unusual health effects are anticipated after exposure to this product, due to the small cylinder size. If any adverse symptom develops after over-exposure to this product, remove
victim(s) to fresh air as quickly as possible. Only trained personnel should administer supplemental oxygen and/or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation if necessary.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASSURES
LEAK RESPONSE: Due to the small size and content of the cylinder, an accidental release of this product presents significantly less risk of an oxygen-deficient environment and other
safety hazards than a similar release from a larger cylinder. However, as with any chemical release, extreme caution must be used during emergency response procedures. In the
event of a release in which the atmosphere is unknown, and in which other chemicals are potentially involved, evacuate immediate area. Such releases should be responded to by
trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a leak, clear the affected area, protect people, and respond with trained
personnel.
Allow the gas mixture to dissipate. If necessary, monitor the surrounding area (and the original area of the release) for oxygen. Oxygen levels must be above 19.5% before non-
emergency personnel are allowed to re-enter area.
If leaking incidentally from the cylinder, contact your supplier.
7. HANDLING and USE
WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue, especially if work is done in a poorly ventilated area; exposures to fatal concentrations
of this product could occur without any significant warning symptoms, due to oxygen deficiency. Do not attempt to repair, adjust, or in any other way modify cylinders containing this gas
mixture. If there is a malfunction or another type of operational problem, contact nearest distributor immediately.
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: Cylinders should be firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked-over. Cylinders must be protected from the environment, and
preferably kept at room temperature (approximately 21癈; 70癋). Cylinders should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas, away from sources of heat, ignition, and direct sunlight.
Protect cylinders against physical damage.
Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. These cylinders are not
refillable. WARNING! Do not refill DOT 39 cylinders. To do so may cause personal injury or property damage.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS: WARNING! Compressed gases can present significant safety hazards. During cylinder use, use equipment designed
for these specific cylinders. Ensure all lines and equipment are rated for proper service pressure.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain that

16. OTHER INFORMATION
INFORMATION ABOUT DOT-39 NRC (Non-Refillable Cylinder) PRODUCTS
DOT 39 cylinders ship as hazardous materials when full. Once the cylinders are relieved of pressure (empty) they are not considered hazardous material or waste. Residual gas
in this type of cylinder is not an issue because toxic gas mixtures are prohibited. Calibration gas mixtures typically packaged in these cylinders are Nonflammable n.o.s., UN
1956. A small percentage of calibration gases packaged in DOT 39 cylinders are flammable or oxidizing gas mixtures.
For disposal of used DOT-39 cylinders, it is acceptable to place them in a landfill if local laws permit. Their disposal is no different than that employed with other DOT containers
such as spray paint cans, household aerosols, or disposable cylinders of propane (for camping, torch etc.). When feasible, we recommended recycling for scrap metal content.
Air Liquide America will do this for any customer that wishes to return cylinders to us prepaid. All that is required is a phone call to make arrangements so we may anticipate
arrival. Scrapping cylinders involves some preparation before the metal dealer may accept them. We perform this operation as a service to valued customers who want to
participate.
MIXTURES: When two or more gases or liquefied gases are mixed, their hazardous properties may combine to create additional, unexpected hazards. Obtain and evaluate the
safety information for each component before you produce the mixture. Consult an Industrial Hygienist or other trained person when you make your safety evaluation of the end
product. Remember, gases and liquids have properties which can cause serious injury or death.
