SECTION 2: Hazards identification

3.1 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Specific Physical Form: liquid Odor, Color, Grade: Clear, colorless liquid. Faint odor. General Physical Form: Liquid Immediate health, physical, and environmental hazards:

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: Contact with the eyes during product use is not expected to result in significant irritation. Page I of 8 14 3M MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET HFE-8200JM M Novec TM En inmcd Fluid 02n!0/2006 Skin Contact: Contact with the skin during product use is not expected to result in significant irritation. lnhalntion: If thermal decomposition occurs: May be harmful if inhaled. Intentional concentration and inhalation may be harmful or fatal (see section 11) Ingestion: No health effects are expected. 3.3 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMIENT AL EFFECTS 171is substance has chemical moieties that are resistant to biodegradation and is likely to only undt:rgo pa al biodegradation in the environment. The high potential of this substance to move from water to the atmosphere means its potenti I to bioconcentrate is likely to disappear rapidly from aerobic environments. Take precautions to prevent direct release of this product o the environment. Bioassay. This substance is highly volatile and has a high Henry's Law constant and is thus expected tom ve rapidly through ! AQUATIC TOXICITY: Testing results indicate that this product has insignificant toxicity to aquatic org isms at its saturation point Lowest LC50, ECS0, IC50 >substance wa.ter solubility).

ATMOSPHERJC FATE Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). Atmospheric Lifetime approxi,mately 0.8 yr. Global Warming I Potential (GWP) 55 ( I 00-yr ITH, WMO 1998 method). Atmospheric degradation products are e> pected include for ethyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether predominantly iso-perfluorobutyric acid. CO2, HF, and perhaps also CF3COOH for ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether; n-pertluorobutyric acid, CO2, and HF. I SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES 4.1 FffiST AID PROCEDURES The following first aid recommendations are based on an assumption that appropriate personal and industri I hygiene practices are followed. Eye Contact: No need for first aid is anticipated. Skin Contact: No need for first aid is anticipated. Inhalation: If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms persist, get medi al attention. If Swallowed: No need for first aid is anticipated. 4.2 NOTE TO PHYSICIANS Exposures resulting from intentional misuse and abuse may cause.an increase in myocardial irritability. sympathomimetic drugs unless absolutely necessary.

Unusual Fire a nd Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards are anticipated. No unus al effects are anticipated during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing the products and substances that may result from the thennal 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.
