SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation
Page 4
3M™ Heavy Duty Bowl Cleaner Ready-to-Use 03/21/14
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Page 4 of 10
to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition
source and could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode. Refer to other sections of this SDS for
information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially
available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding an absorbent
material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.
Place in a metal container approved for use in transportation by appropriate authorities. The container must be lined with
polyethylene plastic or contain a plastic drum liner made of polyethylene. Clean up residue with water. Cover, but do not
seal for 48 hours. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
For industrial or professional use only. Keep out of reach of children. Do not breathe fume/mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid
release to the environment. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Keep away from reactive metals (eg. Aluminum,
zinc etc.) to avoid the formation of hydrogen gas that could create an explosion hazard.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep only in original container. Store in a corrosive
resistant container with a resistant inner liner. Store away from acids. Store away from strong bases.

Eye/face protection
Wear protective eye/face protection. Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure
assessment.
The following eye/face protection(s) are recommended:
Full Face Shield
Indirect Vented Goggles
Skin/hand protection
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing approved to relevant local standards to prevent skin contact based on the
results of an exposure assessment. Selection should be based on use factors such as exposure levels, concentration of the
substance or mixture, frequency and duration, physical challenges such as temperature extremes, and other use conditions.
Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible gloves/protective
clothing.
Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Butyl Rubber
Fluoroelastomer
Neoprene
Natural Rubber
Polymer laminate
If this product is used in a manner that presents a higher potential for exposure (eg. spraying, high splash potential etc.), then
use of protective coveralls may be necessary.
Select and use body protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. The following
protective clothing material(s) are recommended:
Apron – Butyl rubber
Apron - Neoprene
Apron - polymer laminate
Respiratory protection
An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of
a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator
type(s) to reduce inhalation exposure:
Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying respirator suitable for acid gases
Half facepiece or full facepiece supplied-air respirator
For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.

Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Instability: 0 Special Hazards: None
Corrosive: Yes
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address
the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar
emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include
the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities.
HMIS Hazard Classification
Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Physical Hazard: 0 Personal Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS® III) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards
in the workplace. These ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use
and are not intended for use in emergency situations. HMIS® III ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® III
program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the American Coatings Association (ACA).
