CONDITIONS: Propellant]
Flammable Limits - LEL Approximately 1.5 % volume
Page 2 of 8
3M MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 3M(TM) Silicone Lubricant 12/20/2004
Flammable Limits - UEL Approximately 8 % volume
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.
Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
information.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures: If possible, seal leaking container. Place leaking containers in a well-ventilated area, preferably an
operating exhaust hood, or if necessary outdoors on an impermeable surface until appropriate packaging for the leaking container or
its contents is available.
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. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with
good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill
area to burn or explode. Contain spill. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of
water. Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam. An aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is recommended. 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 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. Do not spray near flames or sources of ignition. Avoid
breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid static discharge. Avoid eye contact with
vapors, mists, or spray. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. Do not place fingertip over edge of
spray nozzle. If cold or tingling is felt at the fingertip discontinue spraying.

7.2 STORAGE
Store away from acids. Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. 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. 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. Do not use in a confined area or areas with little or no air movement. If exhaust ventilation is not adequate, use
appropriate respiratory protection. Provide ventilation adequate to control vapor concentrations below recommended exposure limits
and/or control spray or mist.
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.
8.2.2 Skin Protection
Gloves not normally required. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear insulated gloves to protect against frostbite.
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: Nitrile Rubber.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray.
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.
