It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C3 through C4, predominantly of propane and propylene, and boiling in the range of approximately – 51 °C to – 1 °C (– 60 °F to 30 °F.)] is a flammable liquid (flash point below 60 °C, Category 3). Store in a dedicated flammable storage cabinet, away from oxidisers and ignition sources. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment in storage areas. Containers must be kept tightly closed and grounded during transfer to prevent static discharge.

It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C3 through C4, predominantly of propane and propylene, and boiling in the range of approximately – 51 °C to – 1 °C (– 60 °F to 30 °F.)] is stored and transported as a compressed gas. Cylinders must be secured upright, protected from physical damage, and stored away from heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent accumulation of gas in confined spaces.
Gases (petroleum), C3-4; Petroleum gas; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by distillation of products from the cracking of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C3 through C4, predominantly of propane and propylene, and boiling in the range of approximately – 51 °C to – 1 °C (– 60 °F to 30 °F.)] is classified as mutagenic, potentially carcinogenic. Exposure must be minimised using engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation, closed systems). Biological and medical monitoring may be required. Refer to the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 for occupational exposure limits.
This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP. Facilities handling Gases (petroleum), C3-4; Petroleum gas; [A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by distillation of products from the cracking of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C3 through C4, predominantly of propane and propylene, and boiling in the range of approximately – 51 °C to – 1 °C (– 60 °F to 30 °F.)] should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
