Research Grade Carbon Dioxide 2000lt
Safety Information
In high concentrations, Research Grade Carbon Dioxide 2000lt may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms include loss of mobility and consciousness, and victims may not realize they are affected. Therefore, always remove the victim to an uncontaminated area while wearing self‑contained breathing apparatus. In addition, keep the victim warm and rested, call a doctor, and apply artificial respiration if breathing has stopped.
Fire Safety: Stop leaks if safe to do so. Furthermore, continue water spray from a protected position until the container cools. Use appropriate extinguishants to contain the fire, or isolate the source and allow it to burn out.

Precautions for Safe Handling
- Only trained and properly instructed personnel should handle gases under pressure.
- Use equipment specified for this product, supply pressure, and temperature.
- Follow supplier’s handling instructions and good industrial hygiene practices.
- Protect containers from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop.
- Keep labels intact for identification.
- Use appropriate equipment (trolley, hand truck, fork truck) when moving cylinders.
- Secure cylinders upright, close valves when not in use, and provide ventilation.
- Prevent suck back of water, acids, or alkalis.
- Store below 50°C in a ventilated area and comply with all regulations.
- Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise pressure.
- Keep valve caps in place until secured.
- Report damaged valves immediately and never attempt repairs.
- Replace outlet caps or plugs after disconnection.
- Keep valve outlets clean and free from oil or water.
- Stop use if valve operation is difficult and contact supplier.
- Never transfer gases between containers.
- Depressurisation below 5 bar may create solid CO₂ (dry ice), blocking protective devices.
- Do not inert containers with flammable or explosive substances using liquid CO₂.
