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: Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention. If Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Give victim two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical attention. SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 5.1 FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES Autoignition temperature Not Applicable Flash Point Not Applicable Flammable Limits - LEL Not Applicable Flammable Limits - UEL Not Applicable OSHA Flammability Classification: Not Applicable 5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Material will not burn. 5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Non-flammable ordinary combustible material 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. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with detergent and water. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. 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 Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. For industrial or professional use only. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
Storage
Store away from oxidizing agents. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. 8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) 8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection Avoid eye contact. The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Indirect Vented Goggles. 8.2.2 Skin Protection 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. Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials. 8.2.3 Respiratory Protection Under normal use conditions, airborne exposures are not expected to be significant enough to require respiratory protection. Avoid breathing of vapors. 8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. 8.3 EXPOSURE GUIDELINES Ingredient Authority Type Limit Additional Information COPPER COMPOUNDS ACGIH TWA, as Cu dust or 1 mg/m3 mist COPPER COMPOUNDS OSHA TWA, as dust or mist 1 mg/m3 Table Z-1A Ethylene Glycol ACGIH CEIL, as aerosol 100 mg/m3 Table A4 Ethylene Glycol OSHA CEIL 50 ppm Table Z-1A Calcium Carbonate ACGIH TWA 10 mg/m3 Calcium Carbonate OSHA TWA, respirable 5 mg/m3 Table Z-1 Calcium Carbonate OSHA TWA, as total dust 15 mg/m3 Table Z-1 Mineral Spirits CMRG TWA 100 ppm Titanium Dioxide ACGIH TWA 10 mg/m3 Table A4 Titanium Dioxide CMRG TWA, as respirable 5 mg/m3 dust Titanium Dioxide OSHA TWA, Vacated, as 10 mg/m3 dust Titanium Dioxide OSHA TWA, as total dust 15 mg/m3 Table Z-1 VAC Vacated PEL:Vacated Permissible Exposure Limits [PEL] are enforced as the OSHA PEL in some states.
