Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash
back. Combustible liquid and vapor.
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. 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. 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 water. 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.

3M MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET COMPUBLEND(tm) II BASE R 10/24/2002
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: 1 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS(r)) 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(r) ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS(r) program. HMIS(r) is a registered mark of the National Paint and
Coatings Association (NPCA).
