3.2 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye Contact:
Moderate Eye Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and blurred or hazy vision.

Respiratory Tract Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include cough, sneezing, nasal discharge, headache, hoarseness, and nose and
throat pain.
Ingestion:
Gastrointestinal Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include abdominal pain, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 FIRST AID PROCEDURES
The following first aid recommendations are based on an assumption that appropriate personal and industrial hygiene practices are
followed.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water. Get medical
attention. Wash contaminated clothing and clean shoes before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.
If Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by medical personnel. Give victim two glasses of water. Never

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 3M(TM) Blue Creme Hardener, P.N. 05765, 05766, 05767 06/06/2008
with a fog nozzle. In case of small fires, other means such as carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical extinguishing may be effective.
5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water may be used to blanket the fire. 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. Fire hazard
increases when material becomes dry. Part of the oxygen for combustion is supplied by the peroxide itself.
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. 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 designed for use on solvents, such as alcohols and
acetone, that can dissolve in water. An AR - AFFF type foam 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. 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.
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. Avoid static discharge. Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray.
Avoid breathing of dust created by cutting, sanding, grinding or machining. Avoid eye contact with dust or airborne particles. Keep
out of the reach of children.
7.2 STORAGE
Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Do not heat under confinement to avoid risk of
explosion Storage at elevated temperatures will shorten shelf life.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Provide appropriate local exhaust for cutting, grinding, sanding or machining. 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 dust, fume, or airborne particles. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
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, Indirect Vented Goggles.
8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact.
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: Butyl Rubber, Fluoroelastomer (Viton).
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Avoid breathing of dust created by cutting, sanding, grinding or machining.
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 and P95 particulate prefilters.
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.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 2 Special Hazards: Oxidizer
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.
