4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Move victim to fresh air.  Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped.  Give cardiopulmonary 
resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse.  Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation:
Treat frostbite by immediately immersing affected areas in warm water until the skin has warmed up and 
turned pink.  Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes.  Hold eyelids open during 
flushing.  If irritation persists, repeat flushing.  Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Eye Contact:
Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not convulsing, 
rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material.  DO NOT induce vomiting.  If 
spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, 
rinse mouth and administer more water.  Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion:
When treating frost bite or exposure to the cooling effects of liquid gas contact, flush affected areas with 
water no warmer than 44 Deg. Celsius.  Do not use heated water or dry heat and frozen parts should not 
be rubbed before or after thawing.
Freeze burns of mucosal tissue can develop following contact with liquid form of this material.
2-methyl butane or iso-Butane: Vasopressor drugs (e.g. epinephrine, ephedrine etc.) should not be given 
on their own as there may be danger of cardiac arrhythmia.  (7)
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include diseases of the skin, 
eyes or respiratory tract.
Note to Physicians:
This product, when present in high concentrations in air, acts primarily as a simple asphyxiant without 
other significant effects. Product may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract and may 
cause coughing and sneezing. See "Other Health Effects" Section. Product is not odourized.  Poor 
warning properties.
Inhalation:
Rapid evaporation may cause frostbite. Evaporation of liquid from the skin can produce chilling 
sensation.  Skin injury does not result.
Skin Contact:
Systemic toxic concentrations are unlikely to be absorbed through the skin in humans.
Skin Absorption:
The liquid of this material can produce chilling sensation and discomfort. This product causes irritation, 
redness and pain. See "Other Health Effects" Section.
Eye Contact:
Product is a gas.  Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure.
Ingestion:
May cause cardiac arrhythmia, irregular, rapid breathing, asphyxiation and central nervous system 
(CNS) depression. 2-methyl butane or iso-Butane may sensitize heart muscle causing cardiac 
arrhythmia, in rare cases. CNS depression is characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, 
nausea, vomiting and incoordination.  Severe overexposures may lead to coma and possible death due 
to respiratory failure.
Simple Asphyxiants - "Inert" Gases or Vapours:  A number of gases and vapours, when present in high 
concentrations in air, act primarily as simple asphyxiants without other significant physiologic effects.  A 
TLV may not be recommended for each simple asphyxiant because the limiting factor is the available 
oxygen.  The minimal oxygen content should be 18 % by volume under normal atmospheric pressure 
(equivalent to a partial pressure of 135 Torr).  Atmospheres deficient in oxygen do not provide adequate 
warning and most simple asphyxiants are odourless.  Several simple asphyxiants present an explosion 
hazard.  (2)
Asphyxia is characterized by increased breathing volume, accelerated pulse rate, muscular 
incoordination, faulty judgement, emotional instability, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, bewilderment, gasping 
respiration and unconsciousness.

Thermal decomposition products are toxic and may include oxides of carbon.
Hazardous Combustion 
Products:
Vapours from this product are heavier than air, and may "travel" to a source of ignition (eg. pilot lights, 
heaters, electric motors) some distance away, and then "flash back" to the point of product discharge 
causing an explosion and fire.
Expansion of liquid and change of state from liquid to vapour will allow combustible mixture to 
encompass a large area. If tank is involved in a fire situation, a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour 
Explosion) may result. Enforce NO SMOKING rules.
Unusual Fire or Explosion 
Hazards:
Not expected to be sensitive to mechanical impact.
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact:
Not available.
Rate of Burning:
Not available.
Explosive Power:
Expected to be sensitive to static discharge when vapours are present between the lower and upper 
explosive limits.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Do not extinguish flame unless leak can be stopped immediately. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical 
media for small fires.  If only water is available, use it in the form of a fog.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
FIRE FIGHTING 
INSTRUCTIONS
Expansion of liquid and change of state from liquid to vapour will allow combustible mixture to 
encompass a large area. Where possible, shut off supply flow of gas. When fighting fires involving 
flammable gases, the best procedure is to stop the flow of gas before trying to extinguish the fire.  
Extinguishing the fire while there is a continuous flow of gas is dangerous and could lead to the 
formation of an explosive mixture with air.  Should re-ignition of this mixture occur, there is a potential for 
greater damage than if the original fire had been allowed to burn.  Under certain circumstances, 
extinguishing the fire with carbon dioxide or dry chemical powder may be necessary to permit access to 
the valves to shut off the flow of gas.  If it is not possible to shut the flow of gas off and there is no risk to 
the surrounding area, it is preferable to let the fire burn, while protecting adjacent material with water 
spray until the flow can be stopped.  (4)
Gas clouds may be controlled with the use of water spray or fog.  Isolate materials that are not involved 
in the fire and protect personnel.  The heat from a fire can cause a build-up of pressure inside the 
cylinders, which may explode and rupture.  Any cylinders in the area should be removed, provided it can 
be done without risk.  Fire exposed cylinders can be kept cool by spraying water.  No part of a cylinder 
should be exposed to temperatures above 52 Degrees Celsius.  (4)
For massive fires, used unmanned hose holders and monitor nozzles.  If this is not possible, withdraw 
from the fire area and allow fire to burn.  Avoid standing near the ends of tanks.  If a rising sound is 
heard from the venting safety device or discolouration of the tanks have occurred, WITHDRAW 
IMMEDIATELY.  (4) The possibility of an explosive atmosphere exists, after the fire has been 
extinguished.  Before entering such an area, check the atmosphere with an appropriate device.  (4)
Instructions to the Fire Fighters:
Propellant gases can displace oxygen, therefore reducing the amount of oxygen available for breathing.  
Firefighters can enter the area if a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full bunker 
gear are worn.  (4)

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons, 
property and the environment.  There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from 
region to region.
In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS. 
Ventilate enclosed spaces. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Notify applicable government authority if 
release is reportable or could adversely affect the environment. For large spills, warn general public of 
potential flash-back of flammable vapours. Move unprotected personnel upwind of leaking container.  
Call emergency response naming the chemical and the type of container that is leaking.  Consider the 
use of fog-nozzles to control vapours.  Do not immerse in water. Where possible, elevate the leak to the 
highest position of the cylinder, such that gas and not liquid escapes. Apply emergency device. Ventilate 
low lying areas such as sumps or pits where dense vapours may collect.

Ground and bond equipment and containers to prevent a static charge buildup.  Use spark-resistant 
tools. Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Enforce NO SMOKING rules in 
area of use. Secure containers at all times. Fix leaks promptly.
Caps should always be placed on cylinders until ready for use.  Always secure cylinders to a wall, rack or 
other solid structure in an upright position.  Do not handle cylinders with oily hands.  Do not use cylinder 
if damaged.  Use an appropriate pressure regulator.  Before connecting the cylinder, make sure that 
back feed from the system to the cylinder is prevented.  The valve should be opened slowly to prevent 
rapid decompression and damage to the valve.  Make sure the valves on the gas cylinder is fully opened 
when gas is in use.  The valves should be opened and closed at least once a day, while in use, to 
prevent freezing.  (4)
Vapours are heavier than air.  Vapours can create a suffocating atmosphere, which may be fatal.  Use 
self-contained breathing apparatus. Ground and bond equipment and containers to prevent a static 
charge buildup.  Use spark-resistant tools. Enforce NO SMOKING rules in area of use.
Handling Practices:
Ventilation should be explosion proof.
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing gas, aerosols, vapours or mists. Avoid contact 
with eyes, skin or clothing.  Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.  Wash contaminated 
clothing thoroughly before re-use.
Expansion of liquid and change of state from liquid to vapour will allow combustible mixture to 
encompass a large area. Cylinders should not be lifted by the cap or by lifting magnets.  Shut flow off at 
cylinder valve and not just the regulator after use.  Replace outlet caps or plugs and cylinder caps as 
soon as the cylinder is disconnected from equipment.  The empty cylinders should be kept under slightly 
positive pressure.  Regularly check the cylinders for corrosion or leakage.  (4)
Other Precautions:
STORAGE
Ideal storage temperature is 10-27 Deg. Celsius.
Storage Temperature (°C):
See below.
Ventilation Requirements:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.  Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.  Keep containers closed.  
Do not expose sealed containers to temperatures above 40° C. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect 
against physical damage. Secure containers at all times. Keep away from combustibles and 
incompatible materials. Regularly inspect process equipment, piping and detection equipment. Fix leaks 
promptly.
Check to see if the cylinders have been tested within the required time.  Check compatibility with other 
materials and separate at appropriate distance.  Empty cylinders should be stored separately from full 
ones, with valves off, securely capped and clearly labeled EMPTY.  (4)
Storage Requirements:
Confirm suitability of any material before using.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment, which will provide protection against overexposure to this product.  
Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will dictate the need for specific protective 
devices at your workplace.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation required.  Ventilation should be explosion proof. Ventilate low lying areas such 
as sumps or pits where dense vapours may collect. Make up air should be supplied to balance air that is 
removed by local or general exhaust ventilation.
For personnel entry into confined spaces (i.e. bulk storage tanks) a proper procedure must be followed.  
It must include consideration of, among other things, ventilation, testing of tank atmosphere, provision 
and maintenance of SCBA, and emergency rescue. Use the "buddy" system.  The second person should 
be in view and trained and equipped to execute a rescue.  (4)
Engineering Controls:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE 
EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres. A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-supplied 
respirator for atmospheres (normal atmospheric pressure) containing less than 18% oxygen by volume.
Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) value:   1500 ppm Isopentane. The purpose of 
establishing an IDLH value is to ensure that the worker can escape from a given contaminated 
environment in the event of failure of the most protective respiratory equipment.  In the event of failure of 
respiratory protective equipment, every effort should be made to exit immediately.  (4)
If while wearing a respiratory protection, you can smell, taste or otherwise detect anything unusual, or in 
the case of a full facepiece respirator you experience eye irritation, leave the area immediately.  Check to 
make sure the respirator to face seal is still good.  If it is, replace the filter, cartridge or canister.  If the 
seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator.  (4)
Respiratory Protection:
Wear regular work clothing. The use of coveralls is recommended. Locate safety shower and eyewash 
station close to chemical handling area. Take all precautions to avoid personal contact. Clothing and 
footwear that is fire retardant and dissipates static electrical charges should be worn when handling 
flammable materials.  Natural fibers (cotton, wool, leather and linen) should be selected in favour of 
synthetic materials (rayon, nylon and polyester).

Synergistic Materials:
iso-Butane: A formulation containing 83.2 % Isobutane applied to the skin caused moderate irritation.  
However, application of other formulations containing 74.25 to 89.55 % only caused mild irritation.  Mice 
exposed to Isobutane concentrations of 15 %, 20 % and 23 % showed signs of anesthesia within 60, 17 
and 26 minutes respectively.  Exposure to 10 to 20 % in monkeys did not cause circulatory effects, but 
did depress respiratory function.  Isobutane is a week cardiac sensitizer in dogs and rats.  (4)
2-methyl butane: In a study involving skin contact with an unspecifed Pentane isomer, 1.5 ml was 
applied to the forearm for one hour and the thigh for five hours.  This resulted in a burning sensation with 
itching and the effects subsided within fifteen minutes after exposure.  (4)
Exposure to 120,000 ppm Isopentane produced light anesthesia to dogs while 150,000 to 170,000 ppm 
Isopentane was lethal.  Light anesthesia was observed in mice when exposed to 90,000 ppm 
Isopentane, while 100,000 to 120,000 ppm caused anesthesia in four minutes with complete loss of 
posture within 10 minutes.  Sensitization of the heart to the effects of epinephrine causing cardiac 
arrythmias were observed at 100,000 to 250,000 ppm.  (4)
