Carbon dioxide, refrigerated liquid PRi4X14IR Safety Data Sheet P-4573 Making ourplanetmoreproductive- This SIDS conforms to U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR 1910.1200, Hazard Communication. Date of issue:01/01/1997 Revision date: 10/13/2016 Supersedes: 12/18/2014 Other information Cryogenic liquid causes severe frostbite,a burn-like injury. Heat of fire can build pressure in a closed container and cause it to rupture. Venting vapors may obscure visibility.Air will condense on surfaces such as vaporizers or piping exposed to liquid or cold gas. Nitrogen, which has a lower boiling point than oxygen,evaporates first, leaving an oxygen-enriched condensate. SECTIONAccidental 6.1. Personal precautions,protective equipment and emergency procedures General measures Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits,or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous. Evacuate area. Ensure adequate air ventilation.Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere is proven to be safe. Stop leak if safe to do so. 6.1. For non-emergency personnel No additional information available 6.1.2. For emergency responders No additional information available 6.2. Environmental precautions Try to stop release. 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up No additional information available 6.4. Reference to other sections See also sections 8 and 13. SECTION • • and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Precautions for safe handling Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from physical damage;do not drag, roll,slide or drop. While moving cylinder,always keep in place removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap;the cap is intended solely to protect the valve. When moving cylinders,even for short distances,use a cart(trolley,hand truck,etc.)designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object(e.g,wrench,screwdriver, pry bar)into cap openings;doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the valve is hard to open,discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve after each use;keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the pressure relief device to fail prematurely,venting the container contents. For other precautions in using this product,see section 16. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage conditions Store in a cool,well-ventilated place.Store and use with adequate ventilation. Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F(52°C). Firmly secure containers upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over. Install valve protection cap, if provided,firmly in place by hand. Store full and empty containers separately. Use a first-in,first-out inventory system to prevent storing full containers for long periods OTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING,STORAGE,AND USE:When handling product under pressure, use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to be encountered. Never work on a pressurized system. Use a back flow preventive device in the piping. Gases can cause rapid suffocation because of oxygen deficiency;store and use with adequate ventilation. If a leak occurs,close the container valve and blow down the system in a safe and environmentally correct manner in compliance with all international,federal/national, state/provincial,and local laws;then repair the leak. Never place a container where it may become part of an electrical circuit. 7.3. Specific end use(s) None.
