Section 2:Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Classification under CLP: Danger extremely flammable aerosol

Most important adverse effects: Extremely flammable
May cause an allergic skin reaction
2.2 Label elements
Hazard statements: H222: Danger: extremely flammable aerosol.

Signal words: Danger

Hazard pictograms: GHS02: Flame

Hazard Statements: H222 Extremely flammable aerosol

H229 Pressurised container. May burst if heated.

Precautionary statements: P102: Keep out of reach of children.

P211: Do not spray on an open flame or other ignition source.
P251: Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
P371+P380+P375: In case of major fire and large quantities:
Evacuate area, Fight fire remotely due to risk of explosion.
P410+P412: Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures
exceeding 50 oC

2.3. Other hazards.

Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS)
depression resulting in dizziness, light-headedness, drowsiness, headache and nausea.
Abuse via wilful inhalation of very high concentration of product vapour, even for short periods of
time can induce unconsciousness and may prove fatal.
High gas concentrations will displace available oxygen from the air; unconsciousness and death may
occur suddenly from lack of oxygen.
Exposure to rapidly expanding gases may cause frost burns to eyes and/or skin..

First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures

Skin contact: In the event of frostbite, slowly warm the exposed area by rinsing with warm water.
Obtain medical treatment immediately.
Keep warm and at rest. Seek medical advice before removing clothing. Contaminated clothing may
be a fire hazard and therefore should be soaked with water before being removed.

Eye contact: DO NOT DELAY. Obtain medical treatment immediately. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Flush eye with copious quantities of water..

Ingestion: In the unlikely event of ingestion, obtain medical attention immediately.

Inhalation: Remove the affected person into fresh air. If breathing but unconscious, place in the
recovery position. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. If heartbeat absent, give
external cardiac compression. Monitor breathing and pulse. Seek urgent medical advice.

Component CAS Results

Liquefied petroleum 68476-85-7 The substance does not fulfil all screening criteria for
gas persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity and hence is not
considered to be PBT or vPvB.
Other adverse effects: In view of the high rate of loss from solution, the product is
unlikely to pose a significant hazard to aquatic life.
