Skin Contact:
Contact with the skin during product use is not expected to result in significant irritation.
Inhalation:
If thermal decomposition occurs:
May be harmful if inhaled.
Ingestion:
No health effects are expected.
3.3 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
This compound is completely fluorinated (perfluorinated), or it contains perfluorinated portions. Perfluoroalkyl groups resist
degradation in most natural environments. This low-solubility substance has insignificant toxicity to aquatic organisms (Lowest LL50
or EL50 is >1000 mg/L). LL50 (Lethal Level) and EL50 are similar to LC50 and EC50, but tests the water phase from incompletely-
miscible mixtures. Take precautions to prevent direct release of this substance to the environment. ATMOSPHERIC FATE:
Perfluoro compounds (PFCs) are photochemically stable and expected to persist in the atmosphere for more than 1000 years. PFCs
have high global warming potential, exceeding 7000 (100-yr-ITH,calculated using the IPCC 2001 methodology). The Ozone
Depletion Potential (ODP) is Zero.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 FIRST AID PROCEDURES
The following first aid recommendations are based on an assumption that appropriate personal and industrial hygiene practices are
followed.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.
Inhalation: If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.
If Swallowed: No need for first aid is anticipated.

5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water may be used to blanket the fire. 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. No unusual effects are 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 fire to avoid rupture.
Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
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. 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 organic solvent. Read and
follow safety precautions on the solvent label and MSDS. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate
authorities. Seal the container. 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.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 HANDLING
For industrial or professional use only. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Do not breathe thermal decomposition products.
No smoking: Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the formation of
the hazardous decomposition products mentioned in the Reactivity Data section of this MSDS. Store work clothes separately from
other clothing, food and tobacco products.
7.2 STORAGE
Keep container in well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. 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 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
Gloves are not required when product is uncontaminated and at room temperature.
Avoid skin contact with extremely cold or hot product. Wear appropriate gloves when handling this product to protect skin from low
or high temperatures.
If the product becomes contaminated during use, 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.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Under normal use conditions, airborne exposures are not expected to be significant enough
to require respiratory protection.
If thermal degradation products are expected, use fullface supplied air respirator.
8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Not applicable.

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: 0 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS(r)) 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(r) ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS(r) program. HMIS(r) is a registered mark of the National Paint and
Coatings Association (NPCA).
