Explosive Range

Gases and vapour are flammablewithin a range of concentrationknown as explosive range

Lower explosive limitat concentration below the LEL, themixture is too lean to sustaincombustion

upper explosive limitat concentration above the UEL, themixture is too reach to sustaincombustion

Skin Redness. Skin burns. Pain.

Blisters. ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE.

Cold-insulating gloves. Protective

Eyes Redness. Pain. Severe deep

Burns.Face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easilypossible), then take to a doctor.
