3.2 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Page 1 of 8
3M MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PF-5080 3M Brand Performance Fluid 09/11/2002
Eye Contact:
Contact with the eyes during product use is not expected to result in significant irritation.
Skin Contact:
Contact with the skin during product use is not expected to result in significant irritation.
Inhalation:
No health effects are expected.
Ingestion:
No health effects are expected.
3.3 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
This compound is completely fluorinated (perfluorinated), or it contains perfluorinated portions. Perfluoroalkyl groups resist
degradation in most natural environments. This low-solubility substance has insignificant toxicity to aquatic organisms (Lowest LL50
or EL50 is >1000 mg/L). LL50 (Lethal Level) and EL50 are similar to LC50 and EC50, but tests the water phase from incompletely-
miscible mixtures. Take precautions to prevent direct release of this substance to the environment.
ATMOSPHERIC FATE:
Perfluoro compounds (PFCs) are photochemically stable and expected to persist in the atmosphere for more than 1000 years. PFCs
have high global warming potentials (GWP), exceeding 5000 (100-yr-ITH). The Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is Zero.
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: Wash affected area with soap and water. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.
Inhalation: If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.
If Swallowed: No need for first aid is anticipated.

5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Material will not burn.
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. Water may be used to blanket the fire. Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards are anticipated. No unusual effects are anticipated
during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing the products and substances that may result from the thermal decomposition of
the product or the other substances in the fire zone. Keep containers cool with water spray when exposed to fire to avoid rupture.
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. 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 organic solvent. Read and
follow safety precautions on the solvent label and MSDS. 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
Avoid skin contact with hot material. 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. 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.
7.2 STORAGE
Store away from heat. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in well-ventilated area.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. 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.

8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection
Avoid eye contact.
The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields.
8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact with hot material. Wear appropriate gloves, such as Nomex, when handling this material to prevent thermal burns.
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: Nitrile Rubber.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Under normal use conditions, airborne exposures are not expected to be significant enough to require respiratory protection. Avoid
breathing of vapors, mists or spray.
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. Consult the current 3M
Respiratory Selection Guide for additional information or call 1-800-243-4630 for 3M technical assistance. If thermal degradation
products are expected, use fullface supplied air respirator.
8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable.
Materials and Conditions to Avoid: Finely divided active metals; Alkali and alkaline earth metals; Heat (greater than 200 潞C)
Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products
Substance Condition
Hydrogen Fluoride At Elevated Temperatures - greater than 200 潞C
Perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB) At Elevated Temperatures - greater than 200 潞C
Hazardous Decomposition: If the product is exposed to extreme condition of heat from misuse or equipment failure, toxic
decomposition products that include hydrogen fluoride and perfluoroisobutylene can occur.
Hydrogen fluoride (CAS No. 7664-39-3) has an ACGIH Threshold Limit Value - Ceiling of 3 ppm (as fluoride), an OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit - Time Weighted Average of 3 ppm (as fluoride) and a revoked OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit -
Short Term Exposure Limit (which is enforced by some State Right-To-Know programs) of 6 ppm (as fluoride). Hydrogen fluoride
may cause respiratory tract irritation, dental or skeletal fluorosis and irritation or burns to the eyes or skin, particularly when dissolved
in water (hydrofluoric acid). The odor threshold for HF is 0.04 ppm, providing good warning properties for exposure.
Perfluoroisobutylene(CAS No. 382-21-8) has an ACGIH Threshold Limit Value - Ceiling of 0.01 ppm. Perfluoroisobutylene may
cause respiratory tract irritation, pulmonary edema, cyanosis, and effect on the hematopoietic system.
