01 Identification

Use Company

INERGEN, IG541 Fire extinguishing in enclosures. Fire Eater A/S, Vølundsvej 17, 3400 Hillerød Tel: +45 7022 2769

02 Composition Gas mixture consisting of: 52%N2, 40% Ar, 8% CO2 CAS RN ACX No EINECS/ELINCS Nitrogen: 77727-37-9 X1003258-9 231-783-9 Argon: 7440-37-1 X1002784-0 231-147-0 CO2: 124-38-9 X1056802-4 204-696-9

03 Hazards identification

None of the components are on the environment ministry’s list. Asphyxiation if concentrated gas is inhaled. Freezing may occur if containers are discharged quickly.

04 First aid measures Ensure fresh air. If no breathing apply artificial respiration. If necessary deploy oxygen treatment.

05 Fire-fighting measures

The gas mixture is NOT flammable and do NOT support combustion. The gas does not produce toxic decomposition products. Containers must be removed from fire. If containers have been exposed to increased heat they must be cooled and depressurized.

06 Accidental release measures

If released in enclosures these must be ventilated. No environmental actions are required as all components are part of the atmosphere.

07 Handling and storage

There must be access to fresh air. Directions for handling of pressurised vessels must be followed. Pressure vessels must be approved by authorities.

08 Exposure control Carbondioxid: 5000ppm ≈ 9000 mg/m3. If poor ventilation fresh air mask must be used.
