TERMINATOR® OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: A knowledge of the available toxicology information
and of the physical and chemical properties of the material suggest that overexposure is unlikely to aggravate existing
medical conditions.
SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD
EVALUATION: None currently known.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST-AID PROCEDURES:
SWALLOWING—This product is a gas at normal temperature and pressure.
SKIN CONTACT—For exposure to liquid, immediately warm frostbite area with warm water (not to exceed 105*F), in case
of massive exposure, remove clothing while showering with warm water. Call a physician.
INHALATION—Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Call
a physician.
EYE CONTACT—In case of splash contamination, immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
See a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist, immediately.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote. Treatment to overexposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical conditions.

, dry chemical, water spray or fog.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Evacuate all personnel from danger area. Immediately cool containers with water spray from maximum distance taking
care no to extinguish flames. Remove ignition sources if without risk. If flames are accidentally extinguished, explosive re-
ignition may occur. Appropriate measures should be taken e.g. , total evacuation. Reapproach with extreme caution. Use
self-contained breathing apparatus. Stop flow of gas if without risk while continuing cooling water spray. Remove all
containers from area of fire if without risk. Allow fire to burn out. On site fire brigades must comply with OSHA 29 CFR
1910.156.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Flammable gas. Forms explosive mixtures with air and oxidizing agents. Container may rupture due to heat of fire. Do
no extinguish flames due to possibility of explosive re-ignition. Flammable vapors may spread from the spill. Explosive
atmospheres may linger. Before entering area, especially confined areas, check atmosphere with approved device. No part
of a container should be subjected to a temperature higher than 52
°
C (approximately 125
°
F).
Most containers are provided with a pressure relief device designed to vent contents when they are exposed to elevated
temperature.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not Occur
G. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
DANGER:
Forms explosive mixtures with air (See Section E)
Immediately evacuate all personnel from danger area. Use self-contained breathing apparatus where needed. Remove all
sources of ignition if without risk. Reduce vapors with fog or fine water spray. Shut off leak if without risk. Ventilate area
