CONTINENTAL CARBONIC PRODUCTS, INC. OVERVIEW

DRY ICE SAFETYHANDLE WITH CARE

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE DRY ICE USE• Use gloves, towels or pot holders to move

dry ice. • Use in a ventilated location.• Children should be supervised by an adult

when using dry ice.

STORAGEStore dry ice in an insulated container but not one that is airtight. As dry ice sublimates from a solid to CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas, it will cause an airtight container to expand and possibly explode.

HANDLINGThe temperature of dry ice is -109o F (-79o C), cold enough to freeze skin cells and cause an injury similar to a burn. Always handle dry ice with protective gloves or a towel.

VENTILATIONDry ice gives off CO2 which may cause difficulty breathing or suffocation. If dry ice has been in a closed vehicle or room, open the doors and windows before entering. Leave the area immediately if you have any difficulty breathing. In a vehicle, transport dry ice in the trunk or with the windows down to provide adequate ventilation.

INTENTIONAL MISUSE OF DRY ICE MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.

HIELO SECOMANE`JESE CON CUIDADO

MANEJOLa temperatura del hielo seco es de -109o F (-78o C), lo suficientemente frío como para con-gelar células de la piel y causar lesión similar a una quemadura. Siempre maneje el hielo seco con guantes o con una toalla.

ALMACENAMIENTODeposito de hielo seco en un contenedor aislado, sino uno que sea hermético. Como hielo seco se sublima de un solido (dióxido de carbono) de gas CO2, causara un recipiente hermético para ampliar y posiblemente explotar.

VENTILACIÓNEl hielo seco emite CO2, que puede causar dificultad respiratoria o asfixia. Si el hielo seco ha sido en un vehículo cerrado o habitación, abrir las puertas y ventanas antes de entrar. Abandone el área de inmediato si usted tiene alguna dificultad para respirar. En un vehículo, transporte de hielo seco en el tronco o con las ventanas abiertas para proporcionar una ventilación adecuada.

EL MAL USO INTENCIONAL DE HIELO SECO PUEDE SER DAÑINO O FATAL.

DIRECTRICES PARA UN USO SEGURO DE HIELO SECO

• Use guantes de algodón, toallas o agarradores de cocina para mover el hielo seco.

• Use el producto en un lugar ventilado. • Los niños deben ser supervisados por un

adulto cuando utilicen hielo seco.

CAUTION ATENCIÓN

DO NOT TOUCHDry ice is a skin and eye irritant. Avoid contact with skin, mouth, eyes and clothing. Dry ice will cause severe burns.

COULD CAUSE SUFFOCATIONDry ice changes to CO2 gas as it sublimates, causing a lack of oxygen. Only use dry ice in open or well-ventilated areas. Do not store in confined spaces such as vehicles or garages and never store near an area where people sleep as suffocation could occur.

DO NOT PLACE IN AIRTIGHT CONTAINERSAirtight containers may ex-plode as dry ice converts to CO2 gas.

DO NOT EATDry ice is harmful if eaten or swallowed. If ingested, seek medical help immediately.

NO TOQUE EL PRODUCTOEl hielo seco es un irritante para los ojos y la piel. Evitar el contacto con la piel, boca, ojos y ropa. El hielo seco puede causar quemaduras graves. NO INGIERA EL PRODUCTOEl hielo seco es nocivo si se ingiere o se ingiere. Si se ingiere, busque ayuda médica inmediatamente.

PUEDE CAUSAR ASFIXIACambios en el hielo seco a gas CO2, ya que sublima, provocando la falta de oxigeno. Solo use hielo seco en áreas abiertas o bien ventilado. No almacenar en espacios reducidos, como los vehículos o garajes y nunca almacenar cerca de una zona donde la gente duerme como podría ocurrir asfixia.

NO LO COLOQUE EN ENVASES HERMÉTICAMENTE CERRADOSRecipiente herméticos pueden explotar como hielo seco se convierte en gas CO2.
