Can cause rapid suffocation. May cause severe frostbite. LIQUID: Extremely cold liquid and gas under pressure. Can cause rapid suffocation. May cause severe frostbite. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Contact with rapidly expanding gases or liquids can cause frostbite. Routes of entry Inhalation Potential acute health effects Eyes Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Contact with cryogenic liquid can cause frostbite and cryogenic burns. Skin Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Contact with cryogenic liquid can cause frostbite and cryogenic burns. Inhalation Acts as a simple asphyxiant. Ingestion Ingestion is not a normal route of exposure for gases. Contact with cryogenic liquid can cause frostbite and cryogenic burns.

Composition, Information on Ingredients :::�� Name CAS number %Volume Exposure limits Argon 7440-37-1 100 Oxygen Depletion [Asphyxiant] Section 4. First aid measures No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.lf it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus.lt may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Eye contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention immediately. Skin contact None expected. Frostbite Try to warm up the frozen tissues and seek medical attention. Inhalation Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately. Ingestion As this product is a gas, refer to the inhalation section. Section 5. Fire-fighting measures Flammability of the product Non-flammable. Products of combustion No specific data. Fire-fighting media and Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. instructions Apply water from a safe distance to cool container and protect surrounding area. If involved in fire, shut off flow immediately if it can be done without risk. Contains gas under pressure. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst or explode. Special protective Fire-fighters should w eaa appropriate pprface-piecea tective equipment and pressure modeed breathing equipment for fire-fighters apparatus ( ) operated positive p Section 6. Accidental release measures -77-== Personal precautions Immediately ersonnel away. Use suitable protective tcequip equipment(section 8). Shut off gas supply ift emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary thiscan be done safely. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil,waterways, drains and sewers. Methods for cleaning up Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal. Section 7. Handling and storage Handling High pressure gas. 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. Never allow any unprotected part of the body to touch uninsulated pipes or vessels that contain cryogenic liquids. Prevent entrapment of liquid in closed systems or piping without pressure relief devices. Some materials may become brittle at low temperatures and will easily fracture. Page:216 Build 1.1 Argon Storage Cylinders should be stored upright,with valve protection cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Cylinder temperatures should not exceed 52°C (125 °F). For additional information concerning storage and handling refer to Compressed Gas Association pamphlets P-1 Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers and P- 12 Safe Handling of Cryogenic Liquids available from the Compressed Gas Association, Inc. Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Engineering controls Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. Personal protection Eyes Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or dusts. When working with cryogenic liquids,wear a full face shield. Skin Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Respiratory Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. The applicable standards are(US)29 CFR 1910.134 and (Canada)Z94.4-93 Hands Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Insulated gloves suitable for low temperatures Personal protection in case Self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA)should be used to avoid inhalation of the of a large spill product.
