information.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures: Observe precautions from other sections. Call 3M- HELPS line (1-800-364-3577) for more
information on handling and managing the spill. Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be
cleaned up by qualified personnel. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Contain spill. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to
prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. 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. Collect as much
of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person.
Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and MSDS. Place in a closed container
approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
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.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 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.
Revision Changes:
Section 1: Division name was modified.
