PROPYLENE

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. In the event of unconsciousness, apnea or cardiac arrest (no pulse) apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Symptoms: Drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, weakness, headache, loss of coordination, loss of consciousness, coma and death.

If frostbite has occurred, seek medical attention immediately; do not rub the affected area or flush with water. To prevent further damage, do not attempt to remove frozen clothing from affected area. If frostbite has not occurred, immediately and thoroughly wash contaminated skin with soap and water.

Symptoms: Dermal contact with rapidly evaporating liquid could result in freezing of the tissues or frostbite.

If eye tissue is frozen, seek medical attention immediately. If tissue is not frozen, thoroughly flush the eyes with large amounts of clean low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation persists seek medical attention.

Symptoms: Direct contact with liquified/pressurized gas or frost particles may produce severe and possibly permanent eye damage from freeze burns.

Not applicable (gas).

SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, CO2. LARGE FIRES: Use water spray or fog

Do not use solid water stream/may spread fire.

Vapors may travel long distances along the ground before reaching a source of ignition and flashing back. When mixed with air and exposed to ignition source, vapors can burn in open or explode if confined. Sustained fire attack on vessels may result in a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). Potential explosion hazard from reignition, if fire is put out without shutting off source.

Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur. DO NOT extinguish a leaking gas fire unless leak can be stopped.

Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

If necessary, all contaminated waste water must be treated in a municipal or industrial wastewater treatment plant before release to surface water. Chemical removal by air and water pollution control devices must meet the minimum efficiency requirements needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. External treatment and disposal of waste should comply with applicable local and/or national regulations.

Sudden release of this material from pressurized vessels may result in cryogenic burns (frostbite). If inspection shows cylinders in poor condition, immediately contact supplier. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only non-sparking tools. Bond and ground all equipment before transferring this material from one container to another. The vapor is heavier than air. Beware of accumulation in pits and confined spaces. Wear recommended personal protective equipment. Contact with liquid and with containers and delivery lines from which LPG has just been drawn, should be avoided to prevent cold burns. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where this material is used. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.

Keep away from direct sunlight. Empty containers may contain flammable product residues. Do not weld, solder, drill, cut or perform similar operations on or near containers. Ensure that all relevant regulations regarding explosive atmospheres, and handling and storage facilities of flammable products are followed.

Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where this material is used. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only non-sparking tools. Bond and ground all equipment before transferring this material from one container to another.

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.

Wear insulated gloves if contact with liquid is possible. The selected gloves must satisfy the European norm standard EN 511 for protection against the cold.

Use chemical type goggles and face shield when handling liquified gases.

Use appropriate respiratory protection where atmosphere exceeds recommended limits. If needed, wear a supplied air respirator conforming to a European norm standard such as EN 139 or equivalent.

Fire retardant clothing is appropriate for routine occupational use.

See section 6.

Preferred disposal for this volatile, flammable product is through combustion.

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Comply with applicable local, state or international regulations concerning solid or hazardous waste disposal and/or container disposal.
