H280 is a designation for a specific type of chemical compound known as a gas. It is primarily used in various industrial applications, including refrigeration and as a propellant in aerosol products. H280 is classified as a compressed gas, which means it is stored under high pressure. The safety and handling of H280 are important due to its potential hazards. It can pose risks such as asphyxiation in poorly ventilated areas and may cause frostbite if it comes into contact with skin. Proper storage and usage guidelines must be followed to ensure safety when working with H280.
