3.3 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
Testing results indicate that methyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether and methyl nonafluorobutyl ether have insignificant toxicity to aquatic
organisms at their saturation point (Lowest LC50, EC50, or IC50 > substance water solubility). 1,2-Trans-dichloroethylene is harmful
to aquatic organisms (10 mg/L < Lowest LC50, EC50, or IC50 < 100 mg/L). These compounds are highly volatile and have high
Henry's Law constants and are thus expected to move rapidly through vaporization from solution in an aquatic compartment or from a
soil surface in a terrestrial compartment to the atmosphere.
Ethyl alcohol has insignificant toxicity to aquatic organisms (Lowest LC50, EC50, or IC50 >1000 mg/L).
BIOCONCENTRATION:
Methyl nonafluoroisobutylether, and methyl nonafluorobutylether are highly insoluble and very volatile. Bioconcentration is therefore
unlikely and not expected as they are not likely to enter aqueous waste streams from typical uses and disposal, or, in the case of a spill,
remain in the aquatic or terrestrial compartments. The high potential for these components to move from aquatic or terrestrial
environments to the atmosphere indicates bioconcentration is unlikely to occur as they are not expected to be bioavailable. Thus,
emphasis has been placed on the atmospheric fate.
1,2-Trans-dichloroethylene and ethyl alcohol have octanol/water partition coefficient values of <3 indicating they are unlikely to
bioconcentrate.

3M MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET HFE-71DA 3M (TM) Novec (TM) Engineered Fluid 06/07/2006
ATMOSPHERIC FATE:
This product has Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).
Atmospheric Lifetime: approximately 6 days for 1,2-trans-dichloroethylene; approximately <5 days for ethyl alcohol, approximately
4.7 years and 3.7 years for methyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether and methyl nonafluorobutyl ether, respectively.
Global Warming Potential (GWP): 320 (100 year ITH, WMO 1998 method) for methyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether and methyl
nonafluorobutyl ether and essentially zero for 1,2-trans-dichloroethylene and ethyl alcohol.
Methyl nonafluoroisobutylether, and methyl nonafluorobutylether are exempt from the US EPA definition of a volatile organic
compound (VOC).

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. 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. 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 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 closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose
of collected material as soon as possible. CAUTION: For spills resulting in siginifcant release in a confined area, warn others and
leave immediately.
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
Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to
below Occupational Exposure Limits. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Avoid eye contact with
vapors, mists, or spray. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash
exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Contents may be under pressure, open carefully. For industrial or professional use
only. No smoking: Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the
formation of the hazardous decomposition products mentioned in the Reactivity Data section of this MSDS. Store work clothes
separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products. As a general precaution, avoid exposure to temperatures above the boiling
point (40C) and below the critical solution temperature (-29C). --- Avoid continuous exposure of the material to extreme condidtions
of heat, i.e., above 150C (welding, open flame, misuse or equipment failure). Avoid exceeding a watt densityof 50 watts/inch2 from a
heater surface. Continuous exposure to 150C results in very slight decomposition of this product and, therefore, is a very conservative
use temperature threshold. Applications involving exposure of the fluid to temperatures exceeding 150C should be reviewed with 3M
Technical Service.
7.2 STORAGE
Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep container in well-ventilated area. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store
away from strong bases. Contents may be under pressure if stored/shipped under elevated temperature. Open closure slowly to vent
pressure.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation on open containers. For those situations
where the fluid might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use with appropriate local exhaust
ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition products below their exposure guidelines.
