_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Page 2 of 7
3M MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET ScotchCode Wire Marker Pen - SMP-B (black) and SMP-R (red) 03/28/2006
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. See Hazardous Decomposition section for products of combustion. 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. No unusual
fire or explosion hazards are anticipated. 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: 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. Collect as much of the spilled material as
possible using non-sparking tools. Clean up residue. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.
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.

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: 2 Flammability: 3 Reactivity: 0 Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS? 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?ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS?program. HMIS?is a registered mark of the National Paint and Coatings
Association (NPCA).
