Page 3 of 8 

### 5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition. 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) fo r hazardous combustion an d thermal decomposition

information.



## SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Ventilate the area with fresh air.

6.2. Environmental precautions

For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry in to sewer systems or bodies of water. Collect the resulting residue

containing solution. Place in a closed c ontainer approved for transportation by appr opriate 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 material. Mix in sufficient abso rbent until it appears dry. Clean up residue with detergent and water.

In the event of a release of this materi al, the user should determine if the relea se qualifies as reportable according to

local, state, and federal regulations.



## SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 HANDLING

For industrial or professional use only. Do not breathe thermal decomposition products. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or s pray.

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact . Avoid eye contact. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilatio n to

control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Lim its. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection

equipment.



### 7.2 STORAGE

Store away from heat. Store away from strong bases.



## SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CO NTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS

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 protection equipment. For those situati ons where

the material might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with appropriate local exhaust

ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines.



### 8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 3MTM NovecTM 774 Engineered Fluid 02/21/12

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 4 of 8 8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection

As a good industrial hygiene practice:

Avoid eye contact.

The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields

.

8.2.2 Skin Protection

As a good industrial hygiene practice:

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.

Select and use gloves and/or protective clot hing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consu lt with

your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials.

Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Neoprene

Nitrile Rubber

Polymer laminate

.

8.2.3 Respiratory Protection

Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Use a positive pressu re supplied-air respirator if th ere is a potential for exposur e from an

uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not p rovide

adequate protection.

Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with

OSHA regulations: Half facepiece or fullf ace air-purifying resp irator with organic vapor cartr idges and P95 particulate prefi lters

Half facepiece or fullface supplied-air respirator

. Select and use respiratory protection to prevent an inhalation exposure based on th e results of an exposure assessment. Con sult

with your respirator manufacturer for selection of appropriate types of respirators.

8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wa sh exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.

Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 1 Special Hazards: None

National Fire Protection Associa tion (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 a re primarily based on the

inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic pr operties of combusti on or decomposition pro ducts that are known to

be generated in significant quantities.

HMIS Hazard Cl assification

Health: 0 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 1 Protection: X - See PPE section.

Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS®) hazard ratings ar e designed to inform employees of chemical hazards in the wor kplace. These

ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected c onditions of normal use and are not intended for u se in emergency

situations. HMIS® ratings are to be used w ith a fully implemented HMIS® program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the National Pai nt and Coatings

Association (NPCA).
