    GLASSES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING, CONNECTING, DISCONNECTING
    CYLINDERS, AND WHEN PRESSURIZING SYSTEMS.
Work Hygienic Practices:NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. TREATMENT FOR
    OVEREXPOSURE SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT THE CONTROL OF SYMPTOMS AND THE
    CLINICAL CONDITION.

Product ID:SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE
*  Composition/Information on Ingredients  *
Ingred Name:SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE
*  Hazards Identification  *
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGE ORGANS: NONE. EYE: CONTACT WITH
    LIQUID OR COLD VAPOR CAN CAUSE FREEZING OF TISSUE. INGESTION:
    INGESTION IS NOT A LIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE FOR SULFUR
    HEXAFLUORIDE. INHALATION: SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE  IS AN ASPHYXIANT.
    CAUSE DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, EXCESS SALIVATION,
    DIMINISHED MENTAL ALERTNESS, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESSAND DEATH.
    ABOUT UNCONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT WARNING AND SO QUICKLY THAT THE
    INDIVIDUALS CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES. SKIN: CONTACT WITH LIQU ID OR
    COLD VAPOR CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE IS NOT LISTED AS A
    CARCINOGEN OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA SUBPART Z.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: FREEZING OF TISSUE. SKIN: FROSTBITE.
    INHALATION: DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, EXCESS
    SALIVATION, DIMINISHED MENTAL ALERTNESS, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
    DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYE: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF LUKEWARM WATER FOR SEVERAL
    MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: INGESTION
    IS NOT A LIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE FOR SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE.
    INHALATION: REMOV E PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING,
    ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
    ADMINISTER OXYGEN. OBTAIN PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: IF LIQUID
    SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE COMES IN  CONTACT WITH SKIN, REMOVE
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND FLUSH  WITH PLENTY OF LUKEWARM WATER FOR
    SEVERAL MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE IS NONFLAMMABLE AND DOES NOT
    SUPPORT COMBUSTION. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR THE
    SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. IF POSSIBLE,
    REMOVE CYLINDERS FROM FIRE AREA OR COOL WITH WATER. SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) MAY BE REQUIRED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MOST CYLINDERS  ARE DESIGNED TO VENT
    CONTENTS WHEN EXPOSED TO ELEVATED TEMPERATURES. PRESSURE IN A
    CYLINDER CAN BUILD UP DUE TO HEAT & IT MAY RUPTURE IF PRESSURE
    RELIEF DEVICES SHOULD FAIL TO FUNCTION .
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE IMMEDIATE AREA. INCREASE VENTILATION
    TO RELEASE AREA AND MONITOR OXYGEN LEVEL. USE APPROPRIATE
    PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (SCBA). SHUT OFF SOURCE OF LEAK IF POSSIBLE.
    ISOLATE ANY LEAKING CYLINDER.  IF LEAK IS FROM CONTAINER, PRESSURE
    RELIEF DEVICE OR ITS VALVE, CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER. IF LEAK IS IN
    USER'S SYSTEM, CLOSE CYLINDER VALVE AND VENT PRESSURE BEFORE
    ATTEMPTING REPAIRS.
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE CYLINDERS IN A WELL-VENTILATED,
    SECURE AREA, PROTECTED FROM THE WEATHER. CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED
    UPRIGHT WITH VALVE OUTLET SEALS & VALVE PROTECTION CAPS IN PLACE.
    SHOULD BE AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAVELED AREAS & EMERGENCY EXITS.
Other Precautions:FULL & EMPTY CYLINDERS SHOULD BE SEGREGATED. USE A
    FIRST-IN, FIRST -OUT INVENTORY SYSTEM TO PREVENT FULL CONTAINERS
    FROM BEING STORED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. DO NOT DRAG, ROLL,
    SLIDE OR DROP CYLINDE R. USE A SUITABLE HAND TRUCK DESIGNED FOR
    CYLINDER MOVEMENT. NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT A CYLINDER BY ITSCAP.
