SECTION 2. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Methane is packaged as pure product (>99%). CAS NUMBER: 74-82-8 EXPOSURE LIMITS: OSHA: None established ACGIH: Simple Asphyxiant SECTION 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

NIOSH: None established

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Methane is a flammable, colorless, odorless, compressed gas packaged in cylinders under high pressure. It poses an immediate fire and explosion hazard when mixed with air at concentrations exceeding 5.0%. High concentrations that can cause rapid suffocation are within the flammable range and should not be entered. EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS 800 - 523 - 9374 in Continental U.S. , Canada and Puerto Rico 610 - 481 - 7711 outside U.S. ACUTE POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: EYE CONTACT: No harmful affect. INGESTION: Not applicable INHALATION: Methane is nontoxic. It can, however, reduce the amount of oxygen in the air necessary to support life. Exposure to oxygen-deficient atmospheres (less than 19.5 %) may produce dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and death. At very low oxygen concentrations (less than 12 %) unconsciousness and death may occur without warning. It should be noted that before suffocation could occur, the lower flammable limit for Methane in air will be exceeded; causing both an oxygen deficient and an explosive atmosphere. SKIN CONTACT: No harmful affect. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF REPEATED EXPOSURE: ROUTE OF ENTRY: None SYMPTOMS: None

TARGET ORGANS: None MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: None CARCINOGENICITY: Methane is not listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by NTP, IARC, or OSHA Subpart Z. SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYE CONTACT: No treatment necessary. INGESTION: Not applicable INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Obtain prompt medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: No treatment necessary. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition. SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT: AUTOIGNITION: FLAMMABLE RANGE: -306 F (-187.8 C) 999 F (537 C) 5.0% - 15% EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate all personnel from area. If possible, without risk, shut off source of methane, then fight fire according to types of materials burning. Extinguish fire only if gas flow can be stopped. This will avoid possible accumulation and re-ignition of a flammable gas mixture. Keep adjacent cylinders cool by spraying with large amounts of water until the fire burns itself out. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed to elevated temperatures. Pressure in a cylinder can build up due to heat and it may rupture if pressure relief devices should fail to function. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Evacuate immediate area. Eliminate any possible sources of ignition, and provide maximum explosion-proof ventilation. Use a flammable gas meter (explosimeter) calibrated for Methane to monitor concentration. Never enter an area where Methane concentration is greater than 1.0% (which is 20% of the lower flammable limit). An immediate fire and explosion hazard exists when atmospheric Methane concentration exceeds 5.0%. Use appropriate protective equipment (SCBA and fire resistant suit). Shut off source of leak if possible. Isolate any leaking cylinder. If leak is from container, pressure relief device or its valve, contact your supplier. If the leak is in the users system, close the cylinder valve, safely vent the pressure, and purge with an inert gas before attempting repairs. SECTION 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING STORAGE: Store cylinders in a well-ventilated, secure area, protected from the weather. Cylinders should be stored upright with valve outlet seals and valve protection caps in place. There should be no sources of ignition. All electrical equipment should be explosion-proof in the storage areas. Storage areas must meet National Electrical Codes for class 1 hazardous areas. Flammable storage areas must be separated from oxygen and other oxidizers by a minimum distance of 20 ft. or by a barrier of non-combustible material at least 5 ft. high having a fire resistance rating of at least _ hour. Post No Smoking or Open Flames signs in the storage or use areas. Do not allow storage temperature to exceed 125 F (52 C). Storage should be away from heavily traveled areas and emergency exits. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first-in first-out inventory system to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. HANDLING: Do not drag, roll, slide or drop cylinder. Use a suitable hand truck designed for cylinder movement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap. Secure cylinders at all times while in use. Use a pressure reducing regulator to safely discharge gas from cylinder. Use a check valve to prevent reverse flow

into cylinder. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the cylinder. Do not allow any part of the cylinder to exceed 125 F (52 C). Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressures to be encountered. Once cylinder has been connected to properly purged and inerted process, open cylinder valve slowly and carefully. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap-wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. All piped systems and associated equipment must be grounded. Electrical equipment should be non-sparking or explosion-proof. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance with Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (telephone 703-412-0900) pamphlet CGA P-1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may require specific equipment for storage or use. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: VENTILATION: Provide adequate natural or explosion-proof ventilation to prevent accumulation of gas concentrations above 1.0% Methane (20% of LEL). RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Emergency Use: Do not enter areas where Methane concentration is greater than 1.0% (20% of the LEL). Exposure to concentrations below 1.0% do not require respiratory protection. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses and/or face shield. SKIN PROTECTION: Leather gloves for handling cylinders. Fire resistant suit and gloves in emergency situations. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders. SECTION 9.
