PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS: GENERAL: Read and follow all safety data sheets before use. Read label before use. Keep out of reach of children. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. Close valve after each use and when empty. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Do not open valve until connected to equipment prepared for use. Use back flow preventive device in the piping. Use only equipment of compatible materials of construction. Approach suspected leak area with caution. PREVENTION: Never put cylinders into unventilated areas of passenger vehicles. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces. No Smoking. Avoid release to the environment. Use and store only outdoors or in a well ventilated place. RESPONSE: Collect spillage. Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. STORAGE: Protect from sunlight. Protect from sunlight when ambient temperature exceeds 52oC/125oF. Store in a well ventilated place.

HAZARDS NOT In addition to any other important health or physical hazards, this product may OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED: displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation. 3. COMPOSITION, INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS SUBSTANCE or MIXTURE: Substance CHEMICAL NAME: 2,2-dimethylpropane OTHER MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION: Neopentane, tert-pentane, Tetramethylcarbon, Tetramethylmethane, 1,1,1-Trimethylethane, 2,2-dimethylpropane, Neo-C5H12, UN1265, UN2044, Dimethylpropane Exposure Limits (PPM) ACGIH OSHA Other Ingredient Name Formula CAS # Concentration MAC TLV PEL STEL 2,2-DIMETHYLPROPANE C5H12 463-82-1 99+% 600 NE NE NE Note: NE = NONE ESTABLISHED S/A = SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in this section. Occupational exposure limits, if available, are in Section 8. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES INHALATION: Immediately remove victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. It may be dangerous for the person providing air to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water lifting upper and lower lids. Check for and remove contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. SKIN CONTACT: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. To avoid the risk of static discharges and gas ignition, soak contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. INGESTION: None, as this product is a gas please refer to the inhalation section. MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS AND DELAYED POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS: Eye contact: Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Inhalation: No known significant effects or critical hazards. Skin contact: Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Frostbite: Try to warm up the frozen tissues and seek medical attention. Ingestion: as this product is a gas, refer to the inhalation section. INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTIKON AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEDED, IF NECESSARY NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled. SPECIFIC TREATMENTS: No specific treatment. PROTECTION FOR FIRST-AIDERS: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may be dangerous to the person proving aid to give mouth-to mouth resuscitation. See Toxicological information (Section 11) 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use an extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire. SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: Contains gas under pressure. Extremely flammable gas. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. This material is very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharges to any waterway, sewer or drain. HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. SPECIAL PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. If involved in fire, shut off flow immediately if it can be done without risk. If this is impossible, withdraw from area and allow fire to burn. Fight fire from a protected location or a maximum possible distance. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT: Fire fighters should wear appropriate equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in a positive pressure mode 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTINS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR NON-EMERGENCY PERSONNEL: Accidental releases pose a serious fire or explosion hazard. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Shut off al ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS: If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information inn section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in “For non- emergency personnel”. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Ensure emergency procedures to deal with accidental gas releases are in place to avoid contamination of the environment. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage. METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP SMALL SPILL: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. LARGE SPILL: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Note: See section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Contains gas under pressure. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Avoid release to the environment. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilation, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll slide or drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement.
