5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards are anticipated.
Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
information.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up by qualified personnel. Ventil ate the
area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in
accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gase s or
vapors in the spill area to burn or explode.
6.2. Environmental precautions
For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. Place in a closed container
approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
Clean-up methods
Observe precautions from other sections. Call 3M- HELPS line (1-800-364-3577) for more information on handling and managing the
spill. Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially
available inorganic absorbent materia l. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Collect as much of the spilled material as
possible. Clean up residue with detergent and water.

Avoid contact with oxidizing agents.
7.2 STORAGE
Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store away from acids. Store away from
areas where product may come into contact with food or pharmaceuticals.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below
Occupational Exposure Limits and/or control mist, vapor, or spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory pro tection
equipment.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection
Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray.
The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields
.
8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact.
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Con sult with
your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials.
Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Neoprene
.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray.
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 organic vapors and particulates
For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.
8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address th e 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 p roducts that are known to
be generated in significant quantities.
No revision information is available.
