Hazards Identification EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Simple Asphyxiant. This product does not contain oxygen and may cause asphyxia if released in a confined area. Maintain oxygen levels above 19.5 %. May cause anesthetic effects. Highly flammable under pressure. Spontaneously combustible in air at pressures above 15 psig. Acetylene liquid is shock sensitive. MSDS: G - Revised: 6/7/96 Page lof 9 I PRODUCT NAME: ACETYLENE ROUTE OF ENTRY: Skin Contact Skin Absorption Eye Contact Inhalation Ingestion No No No Yes No HEALTH EFFECTS: Exposure Limits Irritant Sensitization Yes Yes No Teratogen Reproductive Hazard ' Mutagen No No No Synergistic Effects None Reported Carcinogenicity: — NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No EYE EFFECTS: None known since product is a gas at room temperature. Contact of liquid acetylene with the eyes may cause temporary irritation. SKIN EFFECTS: Skin effects are not likely. Contact with liquid acetylene may cause irritation and dermatitis upon repeated exposures. INGESTION EFFECTS: Ingestion is unlikely, since acetylene is a gas at room temperature. INHALATION EFFECTS: Acetylene is an asphyxiant and may cause anesthetic effects at high concentrations. High concentrations may exclude an adequate supply of oxygen to the lungs. Effects of oxygen deficiency resulting from simple asphyxiants may include: rapid breathing, diminished mental alertness, impaired muscular coordination, faulty judgement, depression of all sensations, emotional instability, and fatigue. As asphyxiation progresses, nausea, vomiting, prostration, and loss of consciousness may result, eventually leading to convulsions, coma, and death. Under normal operating conditions, acetone is not released from the cylinder. However, if the cylinder is overcharged with acetone or acetylene, acetone may occassionally "spit" out. Acetone is primarily a central nervous system toxin causing headache, nausea, dizziness, vomiting and fatigue. Moderate concentrations may cause respiratory irritation. Oxygen deficiency during pregnancy has produced developmental abnormalities in humans and experimental animals.

First Aid Measures EYES: None normally required. Consult a physician if direct contact with pressurized material occurs. Immediately flush with low pressure, cool water for at least 15 minutes, opening eyelids to ensure flushing. Get medical attention. SKIN: Wash affected areas with soap and warm water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. INGESTION: None normally required. INHALATION: PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE. PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF - CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. Victims should be assisted to an uncontaminated area and inhale fresh air. Quick removal from the contaminated area is most important. If breathing has stopped administer artificial resuscitation and supplemental oxygen. Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. Keep victim warm and quiet. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Conditions of Flammability: Flammable Flash point: Method: Autoignition: Not Available Not Applicable Temperature: 565 (296 ° C) LEL( %): 2.2 I UEL( %): 80 to 85* Hazardous combustion products: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide Sensitivity to mechanical shock: Not Available Sensitivity to static discharge: Not Available FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: *Pure acetylene can ignite by decomposition above 15 psig; therefore, the UEL is 100% if the ignition source is of sufficient intensity. GASEOUS ACETYLENE IS SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTIBLE IN AIR AT PRESSURE ABOVE 15 PSI (207 kPa.). It requires a very low ignition energy so that fires which have been extinguished without stopping the flow of gas can easily reignite with possible explosive force. Acetylene has a density very similar to that of air so when leaking it does not readily dissipate. Gas may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Fires involving acetylene occur occassionally at fusible metal pressure relief plugs at the tops and bottoms of cylinders, commonly due to hot metal or slag being dropped on the fusible plugs. When the fusible plug releases a large volume of acetylene will rush out, creating a "roaring" sound. The flame may extend a foot or two away from the cylinder until the pressure is reduced. In some cases, the other end of the cylinder may develop a coating of frost. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical. MSDS: G -2 Revised: 6/7/96 Page 3of 9 PRODUCT NAME: ACETYLENE FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: WARNING: ALWAYS EXTINGUISH A FIRE BEFORE CLOSING THE CYLINDER VALVE. If the flame is small from the fusible plug or valve stem, try to put it out. Wear SCBA and fully protective clothing for fire fighting. If the fire is allowed to keep burning it is likely that the fusible plug will melt and result in a large release of acetylene. A glove or heavy cloth or any wet material slapped on the flame will frequently extinguish it. If the flame is large, burning from a fusible plug, DO NOT try to put it out unless the cylinder is outdoors or in a very well ventilated area free from sources of ignition. Usually it is very difficult to extinguish large fires because the escaping acetylene may be reignited by adjacent ignition sources, thereby possibly creating a confined space explosion. Keep containers cool with water spray. 6. Accidental Release Measures Evacuate all personnel from affected areas. Isolate the area for over 1/2 mile in all directions in the event of leakage of a tank, rail car or tank truck. Use appropriate protective equipment. If possible to do safely, shut off ignition sources and stop the leak by closing the valve. For small leaks, cylinders may be moved to an area outdoors and away from any source of ignition. Circumstances which, it is advisable to attempt removal of the cylinder are when cylinders are in close proximity to other compressed gases, when highly flammable materials or hazardous materials are in the vicinity of the acetylene cylinder(s), or where protection of the building is unusually difficult and spreading of a fire may produce a major loss of life or property. When the cylinder is removed, it may be hosed down with water to keep it cool. Open valve slowly to let the acetylene escape. Tag the cylinder with "WARNING - Leaking Flammable Gas ". Close valve when empty. Evacuate all personnel from affected area. Use appropriate protective equipment. If leak is in user's equipment, be certain to purge piping with inert gas prior to attempting repairs. If leak is in container or container valve, contact the appropriate emergency telephone number listed in Section 1 or call your closest BOC location. 7. Handling and Storage Electrical Classification: Class 1, Group A. Acetylene is shipped in a cylinder packed with a porous mass material, and a liquid solvent, commonly acetone. Acetylene is dissolved in the acetone solution and dispersed throughout the porous medium. When the valve of a charged acetylene cylinder is opened, the acetylene comes out of solution and passes out in the gaseous form. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT FUSE PLUGS IN THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF ALL ACETYLENE CYLINDERS BE THOROUGHLY INSPECTED WHENEVER HANDLED. REMOVE AND QUARANTINE IN A SAFE LOCATION ANY DEFECTIVE CYLINDER. Post "NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES" signs in the storage area or use area. There should be no sources of ignition in the storage or use area. MSDS: G -2 Revised: 6/7/96 Page 4of 9 PRODUCT NAME: ACETYLENE Use only in well - ventilated areas. Stationary customer site vessels should be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's and BOC instructions. Do not attempt to repair, adjust or in any other way modify the operation of these vessels. If there is a malfunction or other type of operations problem with the vessel, contact the closest BOC location immediately for assistance. Protect cylinders from physical damage. Store in cool, dry, well - ventilated area away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. DO NOT allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 125 (52 ° C). Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a "first in-first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders from being stored for excessive periods of time. Valve protection caps must remain in place unless container is secured with valve outlet piping to use point. Close valve after each use and when the container is empty. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders on their sides. Use a suitable hand truck for container movement. Use a pressure reducing regulator when connecting container to piping or systems. Do not use gas directly from container. Do not heat container by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the container. Never attempt to repair or alter cylinders. Never tamper with pressure relief devices or fusible plugs. Under no circumstances allow a torch flame to contact the fusible plug. While welding, avoid contact of the cylinder welding equipment or electrical circuits. If rough handling or other occurrencm should cause any fusible plug to leak, move the cylinder to an open space well away from an possible source of a sign on the cylinder warning of "Leaking Flammable Gas ". Unless oxygen and acetylene are separated, there should be a non - combustible partition of at least 5 ft high with a fire resistance rating of one -half hour between cylinders. In the U.S. cylinders stored inside a building near user locations must be limited to a total capacity of 2500 ft of gas, exclusive of in -use or attached for use L. _ cylinders. Do not store cylinders on their side. This makes the acetylene less stable and less safe, and increases the likelihood of solvent loss and resultant decomposition. For additional information, consult the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) pamphlets P -1, G -1, SB-4 -1990; NFPA #51 -1984, and OSHA 1910 Subpart H & Q. 8.

Commercial (carbide) acetylene has a distinctive garlic -like odor, A colorless gas. 10. Stability and Reactivity STABILITY: Unstable - shock sensitive in the liquid state. Do not allow free gas (outside of cylinder) to exceed 15 psig. Do not expose cylinders to sudden shock or heat. Acetylene will decompose violently with cylinder failure. INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Oxygen and other oxidizers including all halogens and halogen compounds. Forms explosive acetylide compounds with copper, mercury, silver, brasses containing >66% copper and brazing materials containing silver or copper. MSDS: G -2 Revised: 6/7/96 Page 6of 9 PRODUCT NAME: ACETYLENE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Acetylene decomposes at high pressure to its constituent elements of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide may be produced from burning. Under certain conditions, acetylene forms readily explosive acetylide compounds when in contact with copper, silver, and mercury. Therefore, use of acetylene and these metals, or their salts, compounds, and high concentration alloys should be avoided. The presence of moisture, certain acids or alkaline materials tends to enhance the formation of copper acetylides. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Temperatures as low as 250 (121 ° C) at high pressure, or at low pressure in the presence of a catalyst are sufficient to initiate a polymerization reaction. The hazard here is that the polymerization normally liberates heat and may, therefore, lead to ignition and decomposition of acetylene if conditions permit. 11. Toxicological information Low concentrations (10 -20% in air) cause symptoms similar to that of being intoxicated. As a narcotic gas or intoxicant, it causes hypercapnia (an excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the blood). Repeated exposures to tolerable levels has not shown deleterious effects. TC , human - Inhalation of 20 ppb inhaled has been shown to cause headache and dyspnea. Oxygen deficiency during pregnancy has produced developmental abnormalities in humans and experimental animals. 12. Ecological Information No data given. 13.

FLAMMABLE LIQUID - SLIGHT TO MODERATE IRRITANT - EFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED High fire hazard. Keep away from heat, spark, open flame, and other ignition sources. If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting, as this may cause chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs). Contact may cause eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or mists. Inhalation may cause irritation, anesthetic effects (dizziness, nausea, headache, intoxication), and respiratory system effects. Long -term exposure may cause effects to specific organs, such as to the liver, kidneys, blood, nervous system, and skin. Contains benzene, which can cause blood disease, including anemia and leukemia. Aspirated crude oil is a threat to life. ROUTE OF ENTRY: Skin contact, skin absorption, eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion. EYES: Contact with eyes may cause moderate to severe irritation. SKIN: May cause irritation. May cause moderate inflammatory redness, fluid build -up, and slight burning on exposed skin. May damage the liver and kidneys. May cause irritation characterized by inflammation, dryness, pigmentation, and/or lesions of the hair follicles. May aggravate existing skin conditions. May affect the blood, liver, and kidneys. May cause changes to the skin. Practically non -toxic if absorbed following acute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin are exposed repeatedly. Rare, precancerous warts on the forearms, backs of hands and scrotum have been reported from prolonged or repeated skin contact. INGESTION: The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur. INHALATION: Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervous system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure; and death. CHRONIC and CARCINOGENICITY: Similar products produced skin cancer and systemic toxicity in laboratory animals following repeated applications. This product contains polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons which have been shown to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals after repeated and prolonged skin contact. The significance of these results to human exposures has not been determined - see Section PIas2Fuel Corporation Page 2 of 9 11, Toxicological Information. Contains benzene, which is a regulated human carcinogen. Benzene has the potential to cause anemia and other blood diseases, including leukemia, after repeated and prolonged exposure. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis (rash). Pre - existing, chronic respiratory disease, liver or kidney dysfunction, or central nervous system disorders may be aggravated by exposure. 'Ck EYES: In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low- pressure water for at least 15 min. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. Thermal burns require immediate medical attention depending on the severity and the area of the body burned. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties. Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated. INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately. GENERAL: In all cases seek medical attention. y y ---- - -- FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: FLASH POINT: < 73 °F (< 23 °C) AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Approximately 500 °F (246 °C) OSHA/NFPA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: 1B (flammable liquid) LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT ( %): N/D UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT ( %): N/D FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Flash point and explosive limits are highly dependent on the crude oil source. Treat as an OSHA/NFPA Class 1B flammable liquid when ambient air temperatures exceed 90° F, and as a readily combustible solid when ambient air temperatures are below this threshold. Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open and PIas2Fuel Corporation Page 3 of 9 potentially explode in confined spaces. A portion of the vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, CO water spray, fire fighting foam, or Halon. LARGE FIRES: Water spray, fog or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but may be used to cool fire - exposed containers. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment. Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by- products of combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA- approved pressure- demand self- contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece and full protective clothing. Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam. See Section 16 for the NFPA 704 Hazard Rating. — - -- - - -- ---- - - - - -- - - -- - - - -- ----- LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE: Shut off all sources of ignition and evacuate area. Consider wind direction; stay upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of product travel, diking, sewers, etc. to confirm spill areas. Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Since the material is a solid at temperatures of less than approximately 100 °F, spillage of the material in a liquid phase will be followed by a congealing of the material as it cools. No severe penetration of spilled material will occur, either into the ground or into a body of water. The material will float on a body of water and can be skimmed off of the surface to be reclaimed. For ground exposure, the material may be reclaimed by scooping or shoveling, and 1 -2 inches of groundcover should be excavated as treated as material contaminated with hydrocarbons. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in certain situations to reduce vapors. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container for reclamation or disposal. Response and clean -up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: Handle the material as a flammable liquid at warm temperatures (�100°F) and as a readily combustible solid as temperatures below this threshold. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame! Electrical equipment should be approved for use with the proper classification. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce the possibility of static-initiated fire. Plas2Fuel Corporation Page 4 of 9 STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition. Store in a well - ventilated area. This storage area should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code ". Avoid storage near incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP 2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks ". WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential splash exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Avoid repeated and /or prolonged skin exposure. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use gasoline or solvents (naphtha, kerosene, etc.) for washing this product from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use care when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable vapors which could ignite via washer or dryer. Consider the need to discard contaminated leather shoes and gloves. +, 9) z ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Ventilate confined space before entry. Provide local exhaust where appropriate to minimize fugitive vapors or mists. Provide adequate general ventilation to dilute vapor concentrations within buildings.

CHRONIC EFFECTS AND CARCINOGENICITY: CARCINOGENICITY: OSHA: NO IARC: NO NTP: NO ACGIH: 1997 NOIC: Al DERMAL CARCINOGENICITY: Positive — mice. Studies have shown that similar products produce skin tumors in laboratory animals following repeated applications without washing or removal. The significance of this finding to human exposure has not been determined. Other studies with active skin carcinogens have shown that PIas2Fuel Corporation Page 6 of 9 washing the animal's skin with soap and water between applications reduced tumor formation. This product contains benzene. Human health studies indicate that prolonged and /or repeated overexposure to benzene may cause damage to the blood - forming system (particularly bone marrow), and serious blood disorders such as aplastic anemia and leukemia. Benzene is listed as a human carcinogen by the NTP, IARC, OSHA and ACGIH. MUTAGENICITY (genetic effects): Some crude oils and crude oil fractions have been positive in mutagenicity studies. SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS: May act as a synergist to pesticides. The combination of crude oil and ultraviolet radiation may potentiate the suppressive effect on Langerhans cell density and contact hypersensitivity. Ultraviolet light may increase the severity of the effects to the skin. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Keep out of sewers, drainage and waterways. Report spills and releases as applicable under Federal and State regulations. WASTE DISPOSAL: Recover for reuse and recycling on plant site if possible. Small quantities off -site can be burned in a chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber. Comply with relevant legislation.

Version Number 1.8 Page 5 of 7 Revision Date 02/20/2006 Print Date 6/2/2006 Carbon black 1333-86 -4 Carcinogenicity: Many inhalation toxicologists believe that the tumor response observed in the referenced rat studies is species specific and does not correlate to human exposure. However, the IARC evaluation in Monograph Volume 65, issued in April 1996 concluded that "There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of carbon black ". Based on this evaluation, along with their evaluation of inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans, IARC's overall evaluation Is that "Carbon Black is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). The IARC 2B listing only pertains to airborne, unbound carbon black particles of respirable size. Carbon Black has not been listed as a carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) criteria document on carbon black recommends that only carbon black with PAH (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon) levels greater than 0.1% be considered suspect carcinogens. 12.

Fire - Fighting Measures I FLASH POINT: - 156 °F (- 104 °C) AUTOIGNITION: 842 °F (432 °C) IGNITION TEMPERATURE IN AIR: 920 °F to 1120 °F (493 °C to 549 °C) FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR (% by volume): Lower: 2.15% Upper. 9.6% EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or fog for surrounding area. Do not attempt to extinguish fire until propane source is isolated. SPECIAL FIRE- FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate all unnecessary personnel from the area. Allow only properly trained and protected emergency response personnel in area. A NIOSH approved self- contained breathing apparatus may be required. If gas flow cannot be shut off, do not attempt to extinguish fire. Allow fire to bum itself out. Use high • volume water supply to cool exposed pressure containers and nearby equipment. Approach a flame - enveloped container from the sides, never from the ends. Use extreme caution when applying water to a container that has been exposed to heat or flame for more than a short time. For uncontrollable fires and /or when flame is impinging on container, withdraw all personnel and evacuate vicinity immediately. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Propane is heavier than air and can collect in tow areas. Flash back along a vapor trail is possible. Pressure in a container can build up due to heat; and, container may rupture suddenly and violently without waming if pressure relief devices fail to function properly. If flames are against the container, withdraw immediately on hearing a rising sound, if venting increases in volume or intensity or if there is discoloration of the container due to fire. Propane released from a properly functioning relief valve on an overheated container can also become ignited. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: None. I 6. Accidental Release Measures I IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Evacuate the immediate area. Eliminate any possible sources of ignition and provide maximum ventilation. Shut off source of propane, if possible. If leaking from container or valve, contact your supplier or AmeriGas immediately. I 7. Handling and Storage I HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: Propane vapor is heavier than air and can collect in low areas that are without sufficient ventilation. Conduct system checks for leaks with a leak detector or solution, never with flame. Make certain the container service valve is shut off prior to connecting or disconnecting. If container valve does not operate properly, discontinue use and contact AmeriGas. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into pressure relief valve or cylinder valve cap openings. Do not drop or abuse cylinders. Never strike an arc on a gas container or make a container part of an electrical circuit. See Section 16, "OTHER INFORMATION ", for additional precautions. STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Store in a safe, authorized location (outside, detached storage is preferred) with adequate ventilation. Specific requirements are listed in NFPA 58, LP-GAS CODE. Isolate from heat and ignition sources. Containers should never be allowed to reach temperature exceeding 125 °F (52 °C). Isolate from combustible materials. Provide separate storage locations for other compressed and flammable gases. Propane containers should be separated from oxygen cylinders or other oxidizers by a minimum distance of 20 feet, or by a barrier of non - combustible material at least 5 feet high having a fire rating of at least 1/2 hour. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Keep cylinders in an upright position at all times so that each pressure relief valve communicates with the vapor space. Keep container valve dosed and plugged or capped when not in use. Install protective caps when cylinders are not connected for use. Empty containers retain some residue and should be treated as if they were full. I 8. Exposure Control 1 Personal Protection I ENGINEERING CONTROLS Ventilation: Provide ventilation adequate to ensure propane does not reach a flammable mixture. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION General Use: None. Emergency Use: If concentrations are high enough to warrant supplied -air or NIOSH self- contained breathing apparatus, then the atmosphere may be flammable (See Section 5). Appropriate precautions must be taken regarding flammability. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Avoid skin contact with liquid propane because of possibility of freeze bum. Wear gloves and protective clothing that are impervious to the product for the duration of the anticipated exposure. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses, goggles or face shields are recommended when handling cylinders. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders. 2 9. Physical and Chemical Properties BOILING POINT: © 14.7 psia = -44° F ( @1.00 atm.pressure = -42 °C) SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF VAPOR (Air = 1) at 60° F (15.56 °C): 1.50 SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF LIQUID (Water = 1) at 60° F: 0.504 VAPOR PRESSURE: @ 70° F (20 °C) = 127 psig; @ 105° F (45 °C ) = 210 psig; @ 130 °F (55 °C) = 287 psig EXPANSION RATIO (From liquid to gas @ 14.7 psia): 1 to 270 SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Slight, 0.1 to 1.0% APPEARANCE AND ODOR: A colorless and tasteless gas at normal temperature and pressure. An odorant (ethyl mercaptan) is added to provide a strong unpleasant odor. Should a propane -air mixture reach the lower limits of flammability, the ethyl mercaptan concentration will be approximately 0.5 ppm in air. ODORANT WARNING: Odorant is added to aid in the detection of leaks. One common odorant is ethyl mercaptan, CAS No. 75 -08-1. Odorant has a foul smell. The ability of people to detect odors varies widely. Also, the odor level can be reduced by certain chemical reactions with material in the propane system or when fugitive propane gas from underground Teaks passes through certain soils. No odorant will be 100% effective in all circumstances. If the presence of the odorant is not obvious, notify AmeriGas immediately. 10. Stability and Reactivity STABILITY: Stable. Conditions to Avoid: Keep away from high heat, strong oxidizing agents and sources of ignition. REACTIVITY: Hazardous Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions, fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, aldehydes and other decomposition products.

Not expected to be harmful to internal organs if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Carcinogenicity: Carbon: OSHA: NO IARC: NO NTP: NO ACGIH: 1997 NOIC: Al Soot (carbon black): IARC lists carbon black (1333 -86-4) as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). Note: Pure Carbon (carbon black) is generally made under controlled conditions, and has high carbon content. By contrast, the solid carbon residue usually contains additional complex organic molecules, some of which may be carcinogenic /mutagenic. Thus, solid carbon residue may be presumed to present a greater risk to human health than commercially - produced carbon black. Dermal Carcinogenicity: Studies have shown that products similar to carbon black produce skin tumors in laboratory animals following repeated applications without washing or removal. The significance of this finding to human exposure has not been determined. Other studies with active skin carcinogens have shown that washing the animal's skin with soap and water between applications reduced tumor formation. Mutagenicity (genetic effects): No experimental data is available for carbon residue material derived from plastics through thermolysis. However, in one study, extracts of soot samples from domestic sources were mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium. Extracts of experimentally- derived soot were mutagenic in forward mutation assays in S. typhimurium and in cultured human Iymphoblasts. Synergistic Effects: No data available 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable. Environmental Toxicity: Carbon is non - toxic; other trace elements are not readily available as they are bound to the carbon. Bioaccumulation Potential: Not inherently biodegradable. Additional advice: Particulate settles out of atmosphere and water. Keep out of sewers, drainages, and water bodies. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS PIas2Fuel Corporation As of: 8/24/2009 Page 4 of 6 Disposal: Where possible, recycling is preferred to disposal or incineration.
