SOLID CARBON DIOXIDE (DRY ICE) CAS 124-38-9
- Extremely cold solid (-110°F). Avoid contact with exposed flesh, can cause severe frostbite.
- Dry ice evaporates (sublimes) to form carbon dioxide gas which does not support life. Do not breathe gas! Exposure can cause rapid suffocation!
- Exposure can cause respiratory distress and eventual suffocation.
- Carbon Dioxide gas is heavier than air, especially when cold,
and can accumulate in low areas such as floors and confined
spaces such as pits, basements and tank bottoms where it
can cause suffocation. - Do not enter areas where carbon dioxide vapor may have
accumulated without first testing for carbon dioxide and
oxygen content. - Store and use with adequate ventilation.
- Do not store in tight container. Pressure developed as solid evaporates (sublimes) could burst air tight containers.
- Wear suitable clothing and gloves when handling.
- Use only with equipment designed for low temperatures.
- Non-Flammable – does not support combustion.
- Use in accordance with supplier’s material safety data sheet.
FIRST AID: IN CASE OF FROSTBITE OR OTHER INJURY, SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY OR CALL 911 FOR EMERGENCIES. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE USING DRY ICE
