| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
Seek medical assistance. | 【Inhalation】
Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with beta2 agonist and corticosteroid aerosols. | 【Skin】
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with liquefied gas, thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. | 【Eyes】
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention. |
| Handling and Storage | Back to Contents | 【Storage】
Keep 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. | 【Handling】
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. 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. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
Air hunger and cyanosis may be noted. | 【Skin】
Direct contact with the liquified material or escaping compressed gas can cause frostbite injury. | 【Eyes】
See Skin. | 【Ingestion】
Unlikely to occur. | 【Hazards】
Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. | 【UN (DOT)】

| Exposure Controls/Personal Protection | Back to Contents | 【Personal Protection】
Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles. | 【Respirators】
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | 【Exposure Effects】
Altered hearing, mild excitation, and a peripheral tingling sensation may develop. If displacement of oxygen causes hypoxemia, incoordination, mood disturbances, confusion, headache, or coma could develop. No data were available to assess the teratogenic potential of this agent or its possible effects during pregnancy or lactation. | 【Exposure limit(s)】
TLV: 1000 ppm; 5970 mg/m3 (ACGIH 1997). OSHA PEL: TWA 1000 ppm (6000 mg/m3) NIOSH REL: TWA 1000 ppm (6000 mg/m3) | 【Poison Class】

| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Fire Fighting】
Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. | 【Fire Potential】
May burn but does not ignite readily. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Incompatibilities】
Disilane explodes violently in contact with sulfur hexafluoride. Decomposition occurs at high temp in presence of oxygen with release of irritating decomposition products. Disilane explodes on contact with carbon tetrachloride or sulfur hexafluoride. | 【Stability】
No data. | 【Combustion Products】
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. |
