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: Not applicable.
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. Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be
cleaned up by qualified personnel. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Contain spill. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to
prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. Dilute in a large excess of water. Carefully, and with stirring, add appropriate
dilute acid such as sulfamic acid or vinegar. Confirm neutrality. For large spills, if necessary, get assistance from professional spill
clean up team. For small spills, carefully neutralize spill by adding appropriate dilute acid such as vinegar. Work slowly to avoid
boiling or spattering. Continue to add neutralizing agent until reaction stops. Let cool before collecting. Or use a commercially
available caustic (alkaline or basic) spill clean-up kit. Follow kit directions exactly. 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. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with detergent and water. Place in a closed
container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Cover, but do not seal for 48 hours. Seal the container.
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.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 1 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
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.
