SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

General Simple asphyxiant. From the physiological point of view, the only limiting concentration factoris given by the available air oxygen, which must be at least 18%.

Inhalation If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if notbreathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Getimmediate medical attention.

Skin If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water. DO NOT USEHOT WATER. If warm water is not available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Getimmediate medical attention.

Eyes Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids,until no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical attention immediately.

Ingestion If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention.

Note to Physician For inhalation, consider oxygen.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammable Properties Extremely flammable gas. Hydrogen is very light and may collect in the upperportions of storage areas. Hydrogen burns with an almost invisible flame.

Extinguishing Media Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray or fog. Use massive quantities

of water to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel. Do not attemptto extinguish a leaking gas fire unless leak source can be isolated and shut off.

Extinguishing Media (which shallnot be used for safety reasons)

Do not use water jets.

SDS No.: 29



Hazardous Combustion Products NoneProtective Equipment/Clothing In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Additional

protective clothing must be worn to prevent personal contact with this material.

Fire Fighting Guidance Approach fire with caution as high-temperature flame is practically invisible. Donot attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Use

water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use flooding quantities ofwater as fog or spray. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound fromventing safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Keep unnecessrypeople away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Evacuate if fire gets out ofcontrol or containers are directly exposed to fire. Let the fire burn. Avoidinhalation of material or combustion byproducts.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Extra personal protection Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas. Restrict access to affected area. Use personalprotective equipment. In the case of hazardous fumes, wear self contained breathingapparatus.

Environmentalprecautions

Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

Recommended methodsfor cleaning and disposal

Evacuate area. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Do not touch spilled material. No smokingor open flames permitted in storage, use or handling areas. Eliminate ignition sources.

Dissipatestatic electricity during transfer or processing by proper earthing (grounding) andbonding of containers andequipment.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Handle in fully enclosed, grounded, properly designed and approved pressurized hydrogen gas systems.Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation. Keep away from uncontrolled heat and incompatiblematerials. Ground all material handling and transfer equipment to dissipate buildup of static electricity.Take special precautions when cold cutting or breaking into lines, or when cleaning and disposing of

empty containers. Wear suitable protective equipment including thermally protective gloves. No

smoking or open flames permitted in storage, use or handling areas.Storage Storage area should be clearly identified, well illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible only to

trained and authorized personnel. Store in grounded, properly designed and approved pressurecontainers and away from incompatible materials. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or

any other ignition source. Store according to applicable codes or regulations for pressurized flammablegases as applicable to cylinders, vessels, piping, buildings, rooms, cabinets, allowable quantities and

minimum storage distances. Have appropriate extinguishing capability in storage area (e.g. sprinklersystem, portable fire extinguishers) and flammable gas detectors. Storage pressure vessels should beabove ground.

Specific use(s) Chemical Intermediate, hydrogenation, welding. Handling with materila according to Section 7 partHandling.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

ACGIH exposure limit lists have been checked for major components listed with CAS registry numbers. ACGIH has notdeveloped exposure limits for any of this product's components.Chemical Safety Report

Derived No Effect Levels (DNEL) Not available

Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC) Not available

Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide localexhaust ventilation system to prevent accumulation of high concentrations so as to reduce the oxygen level in the air to

less than 19.5% and to keep gas mixture below lower explosive limit (4 %).Inhalation Eye protection not required, but recommended.

Hand Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.

Eyes Self-contained breathing apparatus should be available for emergency use.

Skin Protective clothing is not required.

Environmentalexposure controls

Environmental exposure controls should be in accordance with applicable regional, national, and

local laws and regulations.

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITYChemical Stability Stable at normal temperatures and pressures.

Conditions to Avoid Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Containers may ruptureor explode if exposed to heat.

Substances to Avoid Metals, oxidizing agents, metal oxides, combustible material, halogens, metalsalts, halocarbons, air, chlorine, lithium, oxygen

Decomposition Products Hydrogen compounds

Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur

Reactions with Air and Water Vapours may form an explosive mixture with air.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Acute Toxicity

This material is a simple asphyxiant. The symptoms of asphyxia depend on the rapidity with which the oxygen deficiencydevelops and how long it continues. In sudden acute asphyxia, unconsciousness may be immediate. With slowdevelopment there may be rapid respiration and pulse, air hunger, dizziness, reduced awareness, tightness in the head,tingling sensations, incoordination, faulty judgment, emotional instability, and rapid fatigue. As the asphyxia progresses,nausea, vomiting, collapse, unconsciousness, convulsions, deep coma and death are possible
