Observe precautions from other sections. Call 3M- HELPS line (1-800-364-3577) for more information on handling and managing the

spill. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Use wet sweeping compound or water to avoid dusting. Sweep up. 

In the event of a release of this material, the user should determine if the release qualifies as reportable according to 

local, state, and federal regulations.

 SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

For those situations 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)

8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection

Avoid eye contact. 

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

8.2.2 Skin Protection

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Page 4 of 7 

Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult with 

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

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

Neoprene 

Nitrile Rubber 

8.2.3 Respiratory Protection

Avoid breathing of dust. Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is a potential for exposure from an uncontrolled 

release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate 

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 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.

 SECTION 16: OTHER INFORMATION

NFPA Hazard Classification

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

 

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

Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS®) 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® ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the National Paint and Coatings 

Association (NPCA).
