SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures: Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards,
respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment. 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. Remove all ignition sources such as flames, smoking materials, and electrical spark sources. Use only non-
sparking tools. 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. Remember, adding an
absorbent material does not remove a toxic, corrosivity or flammability hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible
using non-sparking tools. Clean up residue with water. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. Place in a metal container
approved for use in transportation by appropriate authorities. The container must be lined with polyethylene plastic or contain a
plastic drum liner made of polyethylene. Cover, but do not seal for 48 hours. 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 16: OTHER INFORMATION
NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 3 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
Acid/Base: Alkaline Corrosive: Yes
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: 3 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS庐) 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庐 ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS庐 program. HMIS庐 is a registered mark of the National Paint and Coatings
Association (NPCA).
