Page 2 of 4 Flash Point: None Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume: N/A Extinguisher Media: N/A Auto-Ignition Temperature: N/A Special Fire Fighting Procedures:,^ * .< - Though gas cylinders are equipped with pressure and temperature relief devices, they should be removed from high temperatures or fire to avoid risk of rupture. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards None. SECTION 4 - PHYSICAL HAZARDS Stability Unstable [ ] Conditions Stable [X] to Avoid: N/A Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Can react violently with Li, Nd, Ti under proper conditions. Hazardous Decomposition Products: None Hazardous Polymerization May Occur [ ] Conditions Will Not Occur [X] to Avoid: N/A NOTE: As used in Ansul cartridges, or cylinders, N2 is a gas compressed under pressures up to 2400 psi at 70 F. SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARDS Routes of Entry THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: None listed. Eye Contact: Avoid contact with liquefied form of N2. Can produce chilling sensations and discomfort, also frostbite. Skin Contact Evaporation of liquid from the skin can produce chilling sensations. Frostbite can occur. Avoid N2 liquid. Inhalation: In high concentrations it is a simple asphyxiant - dizziness, shortness of breath, unconsciousness. Ingestion: Ingestion is not likely to occur since this material is gas at room temperature. sal 009493 NITROGEN SECTION 5 HEALTH HAZARDS (cont.) i' Page 3 of 4 Signs and Symptoms Acute Overexposure: Dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, difficulty breathing, drowsiness, depending on length of exposure and concentrations. Chronic Overexposure: Compressed air illness. *$ t Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known. Chemical Listed as Carcinogen or Potential National Toxicology Yes [ ] Program No [X] I.A.R.C. Yes [ ] OSHA Yes [ ] Monographs No [X] No [X] SECTION 6 - EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding lids open. If redness, itching or a burning sensation develops, get Medical attention. Treat for frostbite if necessary. Skin Contact: Wash the material off the skin with copious amounts of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If redness, itching, or burning occurs, get Medical attention. Treat for frostbite if necessary. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If cough or other respiratory symptoms occur, consult medical personnel. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult Medical personnel. SECTION 7 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection (Specify-TypeT: Not normally necessary if controls are adequate. If exposure is prolonged, a self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended. Ventilation Local Exhaust: Recommended in confined spaces. Mechanical (GeneralTT Recommended Protective Eye Protection: Chemical goggles recommended when handling Gloves: For contact liquid. Full faceshield in addition if with liquid. splashing is possible. Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Protective clothing for contact with liquid.

Store as a compressed gas in DOT approved vessels. If cylinder is not attached to a system, it must be safety capped to protect against violent vessel movement or force of escaping gas if valve is actuated or if seal is accidentally punctured. Other Precautions: Note Incompatibility information in Section 4. Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Ventilate to outside. Waste Disposal Methods: Comply with all local, state, and Federal regualtions. Form No. F-85313 SAL 000009495
