3M™ Novec™ 71DE Engineered Fluid

Remove person to fresh air. If you feel unwell, get medical attention.

Wash with soap and water. If you feel unwell, get medical attention.

Flush with large amounts of water. Remove contact lenses if easy to do. Continue rinsing. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention.

Rinse mouth. If you feel unwell, get medical attention.

Use a fire fighting agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition. Material displays no closed-cup flash point but may form flammable/explosive vapor air mixture.

Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air.

For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water.

Avoid release to the environment.

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.

Materials: bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material

Contents may be under pressure, open carefully. Do not breathe thermal decomposition products. Avoid skin contact with hot material. Store work clothes separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents (eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.) No smoking: Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the formation of hazardous decomposition products. Keep away from sparks, flames, and extreme heat.

Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from heat. Store at temperatures not exceeding 38C/100F Store away from strong bases. Store away from oxidizing agents.

Store work clothes separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Keep away from sparks, flames, and extreme heat.

Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Provide ventilation adequate to maintain vapor concentration below lower explosive concentration.

Chemical protective gloves are not required under normal use conditions. However, when the product is subjected to extreme heat, HF may be formed. For those cases, neoprene gloves and apron are recommended.

Indirect Vented Goggles

An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator type(s) to reduce inhalation exposure: During heating: Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is a potential for over exposure from an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying respirator suitable for organic vapors. Organic vapor respirators may have short service life. For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.

Stable.

This material may be reactive with certain agents under certain conditions - see the remaining headings in this section.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Heat, Sparks and/or flames

Strong bases, Strong oxidizing agents

Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Fluoride, Perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB), Toxic Vapor, Gas, Particulate (at elevated temperatures - extreme conditions of heat). 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.
