NON-FLAMMABLE GAS MIXTURE Containing One or More of the Following Components in a Nitrogen Balance Gas: Carbon Monoxide, 0.0005 – 1.0%; Hydrogen, 0 – 2.0%; Methane, 0 – 2.5%; Oxygen, 0 – 23.5%

If any adverse symptom develops after over-exposure to this gas mixture, remove victim(s) to fresh air as quickly as possible. Only trained personnel should administer supplemental oxygen and/or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation if necessary.

Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

This gas mixture is not flammable; however, containers, when involved in fire, may rupture or burst in the heat of the fire.

Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment.

Clear the affected area, protect people, and respond with trained personnel. In the event of a release in which the atmosphere is unknown, and in which other chemicals are potentially involved, evacuate immediate area.

Secure the cylinder and slowly discharge the gas to the atmosphere in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Allow the gas mixture to dissipate.

Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue; 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 the cylinders containing Carbon Monoxide. If there is a malfunction or another type of operational problem, contact nearest distributor immediately. Use equipment designed for these specific cylinders. Ensure all lines and equipment are rated for proper service pressure.

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°C, 70°F). 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.

Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue.

Stored away from sources of heat, ignition.

No special ventilation systems or engineering controls are needed under normal circumstances of use. As with all chemicals, use this gas mixture in well-ventilated areas. If this gas mixture is used in a poorly-ventilated area, install automatic monitoring equipment to detect the levels of oxygen.

No special protection is needed under normal circumstances of use. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 or appropriate Standards of Canada.

Safety glasses. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 or appropriate Canadian Standards.

No special respiratory protection is required under normal circumstances of use. Use supplied air respiratory protection if the levels of components exceed exposure limits presented in Section 2 (Composition and Information of Ingredients) and Oxygen levels are below 19.5%, or unknown, during emergency response to a release of this gas mixture. If respiratory protection is needed, use only protection authorized in the U.S. Federal OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), applicable U.S. State regulations, or the Canadian CSA Standard Z94.4-93 and applicable standards of Canadian Provinces. Oxygen levels below 19.16.33% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such atmospheres, use of a full-face piece pressure/demand SCBA or a full face piece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply is required under OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998).

No special protection is needed under normal circumstances of use. If a hazard of injury to the feet exists due to falling objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where employee's feet may be exposed to electrical hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136.

Normally stable in gaseous state.

Will not occur.

Contact with incompatible materials. Cylinders exposed to high temperatures or direct flame can rupture or burst.

Titanium will burn in Nitrogen (the main component of this product). Lithium reacts slowly with Nitrogen at ambient temperatures. Components of this product (Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Methane) are also incompatible with strong oxidizers (i.e. chlorine, bromine pentafluoride, oxygen, oxygen difluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride). Carbon Monoxide is mildly corrosive to nickel and iron (especially at high temperatures and pressures).

The thermal decomposition products of Methane include carbon oxides. The other components of this gas mixture do not decompose, per se, but can react with other compounds in the heat of a fire.

Cylinders with undesired residual product may be safely vented outdoors with the proper regulator.

Waste disposal must be in accordance with appropriate Federal, State, and local regulations, those of Canada, Australia, EU Member States and Japan.
