1. Trade Name Carbon Dioxide (Compressed, Liquefied)
Company
INFINITI GASES PVT LTD
Works – Hazira – Surat , Vadodara
Emergency Telephone : 07698766698, 9822087373
2. Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical name :
Carbon Dioxide, CO2
CAS-Nr. : 124-38-9
Weight % : 100
3. Hazards Identification
3.1 Human :
Liquid carbon dioxide is very cold and can cause frost bite in contact
with skin. Carbon dioxide gas in high concentrations is an
asphyxiant, which acts by excluding O2 from the lungs.
3.2 Environment:
Carbon dioxide is a natural component of air; it constitutes
approximately 0.03% by volume of earth’s atmosphere.
4. First Air Measures
4.1 General :
Immediately remove the person from the source of exposure to fresh
air, keep warm and at rest. if unconscious, loosen tight clothing an
place in a stable position, lying on one side.
If breathing has stopped, provide artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, provide oxygen if possible. If the heart has stopped, provide
cardiac compression.

4.2 Inhalation:
See general above.
4.3 Skin :
Do not rub frostbitten skin or break blisters. Remove all clothing from
around the affected area. Immerse frostbitten toes, fingers, feet,
hands or limbs in lukewarm water (about 40°C) NEVER HOT. Do
not use direct heat, hot water bottles, heat lamps, heating pads etc.
on the frostbitten area. If possible, keep frostbitten fingers and toes
separated with strips of gauze or clean cloth. Seek medical
assistance immediately if colour and feeling do not return to
frostbitten areas within 20 minutes.
5. Fire-Fighting Measures
5.1 Extinguishing Agents :
None necessary; carbon dioxide is non flammable and is it self used
as an extinguishing agent.
5.2 Hazards / Preventive Measures :
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in fires where large
amounts of carbon dioxide are involved.
6. Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal Precautions :
Liquid carbon dioxide is cold; wear protective clothing and footwear,
eye / face protection and heavy gloves to avoid skin contact. If
spillage occurs in an enclosed space with poor ventilation there is a
danger of asphyxiation; wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
The gas is heavier than air and will accumulate at floor level and in
low lying areas.
6.2 Environmental Precautions:
None Necessary

6.3 Clean up procedures:
Liquid carbon dioxide will evaporate at room temperature. If spillage
occurs indoors, provide adequate ventilation to minimize the danger
of asphyxiation. No other special procedures are necessary.
7. Handling And Storage Avoid skin contact
7.1 Handling:
Low temperatures can embrittle plastics, rubbers and some steels.
7.2 Storage:
Protect against direct sunlight and heat.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
8.1 Engineering Measures:
Provide adequate ventilation in areas where carbon dioxide is
handled.
8.2 Control Parameters /Monitoring Procedures:
ACGIH TLV TWA, DFG MAK : 5000 ppm (=0.5%)
8.3 Personal Protection Equipment:
Liquid carbon dioxide is cold, wear protective clothing and footwear.
Eye / face protection and heavy gloves to avoid skin contact.
Leakage of liquid to an enclosed space with poor ventilation may
dilute the oxygen concentration of the air sufficiently to cause
asphyxiation; wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

10. Stability And Reactivity
10.1 General :
Carbon dioxide gas is chemically inert under most conditions. The
gas is soluble in water, however and forms a weak acid solution
(“carbonic acid”, H2CO3).
10.2 Conditions To Avoid:
Cannot be used for extinguishing fires where metallic sodium,
Potassium or magnesium are involved.
11. Toxicological Information
11.1 Health Effects (General):
Liquid carbon dioxide is very cold and can cause frost bite if in
contact with the skin. Carbon dioxide gas in high concentrations is
an asphyxiant, which acts by excluding O2 from the lungs.
11.2 Inhalation :
Concentrations of 4-5% by volume may cause headache and
dizziness. Concentrations of 6-8% may cause unconsciousness and
paralysis of the respiratory system.

13.1 General:
With adequate ventilation and otherwise under conditions where the
low temperature will not present a hazard or problem, the liquid may
be allowed to evaporate. A cold “fog”, heavier than air, will be
formed.
