First-aid measures If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Inhalation Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.Skin contact Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.Eye contact Not likely, due to the form of the product.Ingestion Due to oxygen deficiency inhalation of gas may cause dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. General information 5. Fire-fighting measures Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. Suitable extinguishing media None known.Unsuitable extinguishing media During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.Specific hazards arising from the chemical Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in flame. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out. Fire fighting equipment/instructions Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.Specific methods Contents under pressure.General fire hazards 6. Accidental release measures In the event of a leak evacuate all personnel until ventilation can restore oxygen concentrations to safe levels. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up No special environmental precautions required.Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Close valve after each use and when empty. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Suck back of water into the container must be prevented. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Purge air from system before introducing gas. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature. Contact your gas supplier if in doubt. Do not enter storage areas or confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Oxygen concentration should not fall below 19.5 % at sea level (pO2 = 135 mmHg). Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use care in handling/storage. Precautions for safe handling Brake System Hydro-Boost? SDS US 933154 Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 21-April-2016 2 / 7 Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Cylinders should be stored upright, with valve protection cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Stored containers should be periodically checked for general condition and leakage. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).Occupational exposure limits No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).Biological limit values Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Appropriate engineering controls Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).Eye/face protection Skin protection Not normally needed. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.Hand protection Wear suitable protective clothing.Other In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.Respiratory protection Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.Thermal hazards Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. General hygiene considerations 9.
