SAFETY DATA SHEETCarbon Dioxide(Fire Extinguishing Agent and Expellant)2.HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONResponseNoneStorageKeep container tightly closed.Protect from sunlight and store in well-ventilated place.DisposalNoneOther HazardsDirect contact with the cold gas or liquid can cause freezing of exposed tissues. Avoid direct inhalation ofundiluted gas. Can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Breathing very highconcentrations can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, unconsciousness or asphyxiation.Specific Concentration LimitsThe values listed below represent the percentages of ingredients of unknown toxicity.Acute oral toxicity0%Acute dermal toxicity0%Acute inhalation toxicity0%Acute aquatic toxicity100%3.COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTSSynonyms: CO2This product is a substance.ComponentCarbon Dioxide4.CAS Number124-38-9Concentration 99.8%FIRST- AID MEASURESDescription of necessary first-aid measuresEyesImmediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtainmedical attention if soreness or redness persists.SkinGently warm affected areas. Obtain medical attention if frostbite or blistering occurs or redness persists.IngestionIngestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.InhalationRemove from exposure. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attentionimmediately.Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedAside from the information found under Description of necessary first aid measures (above) andIndication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, no additional symptoms andeffects are anticipated.Revision Date: October 1, 2015Page 2 of 8

SAFETY DATA SHEETCarbon Dioxide(Fire Extinguishing Agent and Expellant)4.FIRST- AID MEASURESIndication of immediate medical attention and special treatment neededNotes to PhysiciansIn case of frostbite, place the frostbitten part in warm water. If warm water is not available or impracticalto use, wrap the affected parts gently in blankets. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.5.FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURESSuitable Extinguishing MediaCarbon Dioxide is used as an extinguishing agent and therefore is not a problem when trying to control ablaze. Use extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved. Keep containers andsurroundings cool with water spray as containers may rupture or burst in the heat of a fire.Specific hazards arising from the chemicalContainers may explode in heat of fire.Special Protective Actions for Fire-FightersWear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fireconditions.6.ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESPersonal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresRemove leaking cylinder to a safe place. Ventilate the area. Leaks inside confined spaces may causesuffocation as oxygen is displaced and should not be entered without a self-contained breathingapparatus.Environmental PrecautionsNone - Material is a normal atmospheric gas.Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upNone - Material evaporates.7.HANDLING AND STORAGEPrecautions for safe handlingContainers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Do not drag,slide or roll containers. Do not drop containers or permit them to strike against each other. Never applyflame or localized heat directly to any part of the containers.Conditions for safe storageStore away from sources of heat or ignition. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated under cover - out of direct sunlightRevision Date: October 1, 2015Page 3 of 8

In oxygen deficient atmospheres, use a self contained breathing apparatus, as anair purifying respirator will not provide protection.Skin ProtectionGlovesEye/Face ProtectionChemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields.Body ProtectionNormal work wear.9.PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIESAppearancePhysical StateColorOdorOdor ThresholdpHSpecific GravityBoiling Range/Point ( C/F)Melting Point ( C/F)Flash Point (PMCC) ( C/F)Vapor PressureEvaporation Rate (BuAc 1)Solubility in WaterVapor Density (Air 1)VOC (%)Partition coefficient (noctanol/water)ViscosityAuto-ignition TemperatureDecomposition TemperatureUpper explosive limitLower explosive limitFlammability (solid, gas)Revision Date: October 1, 2015Liquefied gas under pressureColorlessOdorless to Slightly AcidicNo data availableNot applicable1.522-56.6oC/-69.8 oF-78.5oC/109.2 oF (sublimation)Not flammable838 psig @70oF and 1 atmosphereNot applicableSolubleHeavier than air.Not applicableNo data availableNot applicableNo data availableNo data availableNot explosiveNot explosiveNot flammablePage 4 of 8

LCLo (inhalation in humans): 90,000ppm/ 5 minutes.Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – single exposureExposure to carbon dioxide vapor at high concentrations can cause loss of consciousness which mayprove fatal due to suffocation as it displaces oxygen. Symptoms may include light headedness,dizziness, difficulty with breathing, drowsiness, nausea, mental confusion, increased blood pressure andincreased respiratory rate.Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – repeat exposureNo data available.Serious Eye damage/IrritationDirect contact with the cold gas or liquid can cause freezing of exposed tissues.Skin Corrosion/IrritationDirect contact with the cold gas or liquid can cause freezing of exposed tissues.Respiratory or Skin SensitizationAvailable data indicates this product is not expected to cause skin or respiratory sensitization.CarcinogenicityNot considered carcinogenic by NTP, IARC, and OSHA.Germ Cell MutagenicityAvailable data indicates this product is is not expected to be mutagenic.Reproductive ToxicityAvailable data indicates this product is not expected to cause reproductive toxicity or birth defects.Revision Date: October 1, 2015Page 5 of 8
