### 5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Non
- com bustible. Choose material suitable for surrounding fire. 

### 5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS **Specia l 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 effects a re anticipated during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing the products and substances that may result from the thermal decomposition of the product or the other substances in the fire zone. Keep containers cool with water spray when exposed to f ire to avoid rupture. **Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous com bustion and thermal decomposition**  **inform ation.**  

## SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES **6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipm ent and emergency procedures**  Ventilate the area with fresh air. **6.2. Environm ental precautions**  For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into se wer systems or bodies of w ater. Collect the resultin g residue containing solution. Place in a closed container appr oved 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. Pour isocyanate decontaminant solution (90% w ater, 8% concentrated ammonia, 2% detergent) on spill and allow to react for 10 minutes. Or pour w ater on spill and allow to react for more than 30 minutes. Cover with absorbent material. Contain spill. Co llect as much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with detergent and w ater. **In the event of a release of this material, the user should determ ine if the release qualifies as reportable according to**  **local, state, and federal regulations .**  

## SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE **7.1 HANDLING** Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and w ater. Avoid breathing of va pors, mists or spray. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. Do not breathe thermal decomposition products. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid eye contact. No smoking: Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco an d/or sm oke and lead to the formation of the hazardous decomposition p roducts mentioned in the Reactivity Data section of this MSDS. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposur e Limits. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protecti on equipment. 

### 7.2 STORAGE Store aw ay

from acids. Store aw ay from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store away f rom strong bases.**MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 3MTM Protec tive Material**  **[ ]**  **04/12/11**

_________________________________________________________________________________________________ **Page 4**  **of 8**  

## SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION **8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS** Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. For those situations where the fluid might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of the rmal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines. 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. 

### 8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) **8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection** Avoid eye contact. The follow ing 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 clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Con sult with yo ur glove and/or protective clo thing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials. Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Neoprene Nitrile Rubber

. **8.2.3 Respiratory Protection** Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. During heating: 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. Do no t breathe vapors. Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with OSHA regulations: Half facepiece or fullface supplied
- air respirator . Select and use respiratory protecti on to prevent an inhalation exposure based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult with yo ur 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. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and w ater.

## 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 r esponse 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 base d on the inherent physical and toxic properties of the materia l but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities. **HM IS Hazard Classification**  **Health:** 1 **Flammability:** 0 **Reactivity:** 0 **Protection:** X
- See PPE section. H azardous Material Identification System (HMIS®) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards in the wo rkplace. These ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use and are not int ended 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 P aint and Coatings Association (NPCA).
