Fire Extinguisher Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

Remove victim to fresh air, If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Ensure that vomit has not obstructed airway.

For frostbit, allow affected body parts to thaw.

For frostbit rinse with warn water of 15 minutes

Maintain breathing

None necessary. Carbon dioxide is non- flammable and itself used as an extinguisher agent. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire.

Non-flammable. Pressurized containers may rupture or explode if exposed to sufficient heat.

Move cylinder from fire is safe to do so. Cool cylinder with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the end of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from manned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Cool cylinders with water. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance.

If spillage occurs in an enclosed space with poor ventilation there is a danger of asphyxiation, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. The gas in heavier than air and will accumulate at floor lever and in low- lying areas.

None necessary

Liquid Carbon Dioxide will evaporate at room temperature. If spillage occurs indoors, provide adequate ventilation to minimize the danger of asphyxiation. No other special procedures are necessary.

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Contains gas under pressure. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Close valve after each use and when empty. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement.

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Cylinders should be stored upright, with valve protection cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over.

Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

The product is stable.

No specific test data related to reactivity available for this product or its ingredients.

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should not be produced.

the liquid may be allowed to evaporate

With adequate ventilation and otherwise under conditions where the low temperature will not present hazard or problem, the liquid may be allowed to evaporate.
