SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA 3.1 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Specific Physical Form: Aerosol Odor, Color, Grade: Clear Liquid, Acetone Odor, Dispensed as an Aerosol General Physical Form: Liquid Immediate health, physical, and environmental hazards: Aerosol container contains flammable gas under pressure. Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back. Aerosol container contains flammable material under pressure. May cause target organ effects.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: Moderate Eye Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and blurred or hazy vision. Skin Contact: Moderate Skin Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include localized redness, swelling, itching, and dryness. Inhalation: Upper Respiratory Tract Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include cough, sneezing, nasal discharge, headache, hoarseness, and nose and throat pain. May be absorbed following inhalation and cause target organ effects. Intentional concentration and inhalation may be harmful or fatal. Ingestion: Gastrointestinal Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. May be absorbed following ingestion and cause target organ effects. Target Organ Effects: Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression: Signs/symptoms may include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination, nausea, slowed reaction time, slurred speech, giddiness, and unconsciousness. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause: May cause blindness. Blood Effects: Signs/symptoms may include generalized weakness and fatigue, skin pallor, and fever. 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: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and clean shoes before reuse. 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 No Data Available Flash Point -156 ºF [Test Method: Tagliabue Closed Cup] [Details: Based on propellant] Flammable Limits - LEL No Data Available Flammable Limits - UEL No Data Available OSHA Flammability Classification: Class IIIA Combustible Liquid 5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Use fire extinguishers with class B extinguishing agents (e.g., dry chemical, carbon dioxide). 5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and prevent explosive rupture. Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back. Aerosol container contains flammable material under pressure. Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition information. 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. Close cylinder. If the cylinder can't be closed, place in a well- ventilated area, preferably an operating exhaust hood, or if necessary outdoors. 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. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. 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 Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, pilot lights and other sources of ignition. Ground containers securely when transferring contents. Wear low static or properly grounded shoes. Do not pierce or burn container, even after use. No smoking while handling this material. Do not spray near flames or sources of ignition. Aerosol container contains flammable gas under pressure. Avoid static discharge. Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents.

Storage

Store away from acids. Store away from heat. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from oxidizing agents. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Use with functioning spray booth or local exhaust. Use in a well-ventilated area. If exhaust ventilation is not available, use appropriate respiratory protection. Do not use in a confined area or areas with little or no air movement. 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 with vapors, mists, or spray. The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields, Indirect Vented Goggles. 8.2.2 Skin Protection Avoid 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. 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. Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Butyl Rubber, Nitrile Rubber. 8.2.3 Respiratory Protection Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with OSHA regulations: Half facepiece or fullface air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges. Consult the current 3M Respiratory Selection Guide for additional information or call 1-800-243-4630 for 3M technical assistance. 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 ACETONE ACGIH TWA 500 ppm Table A4 ACETONE ACGIH STEL 750 ppm Table A4 ACETONE OSHA TWA, Vacated 750 ppm ACETONE OSHA TWA 1000 ppm Table Z-1 ACETONE OSHA STEL, Vacated 1000 ppm n-HEPTANE (25 - 40 % of 64742-49-0) ACGIH TWA 400 ppm n-HEPTANE (25 - 40 % of 64742-49-0) ACGIH STEL 500 ppm n-HEPTANE (25 - 40 % of 64742-49-0) OSHA TWA, Vacated 400 ppm n-HEPTANE (25 - 40 % of 64742-49-0) OSHA TWA 500 ppm Table Z-1 n-HEPTANE (25 - 40 % of 64742-49-0) OSHA STEL, Vacated 500 ppm HYDROTREATED LIGHT NAPHTHA CMRG TWA 50 ppm (PETROLEUM) METHYL ACETATE ACGIH TWA 200 ppm METHYL ACETATE ACGIH STEL 250 ppm METHYL ACETATE OSHA TWA 200 ppm Table Z-1A METHYL ACETATE OSHA STEL 250 ppm Table Z-1A METHYLCYCLOHEXANE (1.0 - 3.0 % of ACGIH TWA 400 ppm CAS 64742-49-0) METHYLCYCLOHEXANE (1.0 - 3.0 % of OSHA TWA, Vacated 400 ppm CAS 64742-49-0) METHYLCYCLOHEXANE (1.0 - 3.0 % of OSHA TWA 500 ppm Table Z-1 CAS 64742-49-0) PROPANE ACGIH TWA 1000 ppm PROPANE OSHA TWA 1000 ppm Table Z-1 VAC Vacated PEL:Vacated Permissible Exposure Limits [PEL] are enforced as the OSHA PEL in some states.
