1 TOBOLSK-NEFTEKHIM LLC SAFETY DATA SHEET According to 1907/2006/EC, article 31 (REACH) BUTANE SAFETY DATA SHEET 1 IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE/PREPARATION AND COMPANY/UNDERTAKING PRODUCT NAME SYNONYMS SUPPLIER EMERGENCY TELEPHONE Butane n-butane, methylethyl methane TOBOLSK-NEFTEKHIM LLC Promzona Tumenskaya obl Tobolsk Russian Federation Phone +7 (3456) ; Fax +7 (3456) tnhk@tn.tob.ru +7 (3456) (office hours only) 2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Butane is mainly used as industrial feedstock for further synthesis and as heating gas. LABELLING F+ (extremely Xn (harmful) N (dangerous flammable) for the environment CLASSIFICATION Butane is classified as extremely flammable. The presence of maximally 0.7% isopentane (2-methylbutane) brings the additional classifications of harmful and dangerous for the environment. 1

2 3 COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Name EC-No CAS-No Content Classification Butane % F+;R12 2-Methylbutane % F+;R12, Xn;R65/66/67, N;R51/53 The Full Text for all R-Phrases are Displayed in Section 16. COMPOSITION COMMENTS The Data shown are in accordance with the latest EU Directives. 4 FIRST-AID MEASURES INHALATION Immediately leave the contaminated area and take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat or chest) develop, call a physician and bring the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory equipment to rescuers. Move any exposed person to fresh air at once. Keep warm and at rest. If there is respiratory distress give oxygen. If respiration stops or shows signs of failing, apply artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. INGESTION The compound is a gas, so the first route of exposure is inhalation. Get medical aid immediately. SKIN CONTACT Danger of frostbite. Wash skin gently with plenty of cold running water, under a shower if affected area is large enough to warrant this. Remove contaminated clothing carefully (prevent further skin damage). Get medical attention immediately. EYE CONTACT Rinse immediately eye with plenty of low pressure water for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention immediately. 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Extremely flammable liquid and gas. Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use flooding quantities of water as fog. For small fires all other extinguishing products can also be used. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Use flooding quantities of water to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices: icing may occur. Withdraw immediately from rising sound of venting safety 2

3 devices or discolouration of tank. If safe fire fighting is impossible: withdraw from area and let fire burn. UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS Vapour may cause flash fire. Vapours are heavier than air. It may travel along the ground and be ignited at a distant location. The vapour readily mixes with air and explosive mixtures can easily be formed. SPECIFIC HAZARDS Combustion generates toxic fumes. PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE Wear full protective clothing and MSHA/NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS See section 8. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS Take precautionary measures against discharges into the environment. SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS Keep sparks, flames and other sources of ignition away. Use water spray to knock down vapours. Wear personal protection (see section 8). Provide ventilation. Stop leak only if you can do so without personal risk. If possible, keep containers upside so that gas escapes rather than liquid. 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE USAGE PRECAUTION Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Store in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers / cylinders from physical damage. All equipment must be grounded. DO NOT CUT, DRILL, GRIND, WELD OR PERFORM SIMILAR OPERATIONS ON OR NEAR CONTAINERS EVEN WHEN EMPTY. 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION EXPOSURE LIMITS NIOSH REL 800 ppm TWA OSHA PEL 800 ppm TWA ACGIH 800 ppm TLV 3

4 PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Protective gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing. RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. HAND PROTECTION Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. EYE PROTECTION Wear approved safety goggles. HYGIENE MEASURES Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet. SKIN PROTECTION Wear protective clothing. 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES APPEARANCE gas COLOUR ODOUR FLASH POINT colourless faint petroleum-like - 60 C EXPLOSION LIMITS % AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE MELTING POINT BOILING POINT 405 C C 0.5 C SPECIFIC GRAVITY (LIQUID) STABILITY AND REACTIVITY STABILITY Volatile liquid or easily liquefied gas.
