5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or pressure
demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for
exposed areas of the head.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not applicable.
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. Avoid contact with incompatible materials listed

in the Reactivity Data Section. For large spills, if necessary, get assistance from professional spill clean up team. For small spills,
carefully cover the spill with soda ash (sodium carbonate) or sodium bicarbonate. Work from around the perimeter inward. Avoid
splashing. Add enough water to ease mixing and stir. Continue stirring and adding water and neutralizing agent until the reaction
stops. Let cool before collecting. Or use a commercially available 'Acid spill' clean-up kit. Follow the kit directions exactly, as
specified. 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. Clean up residue with a dilute solution
(approximately 1 to 5%) of soda ash (sodium carbonate) or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in water. Place in a metal container
approved for use in transportation by appropriate authorities. The container must be lined with polyethylene plastic or contain a
plastic drum liner made of polyethylene. Cover, but do not seal for 48 hours. 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.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
Corrosive: Yes
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: 3 Flammability: 0 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).
