3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

Remove person to fresh air. If you are concerned, get medical advice.

Wash with soap and water. If you are concerned, get medical advice.

If exposed, flush eyes with large amounts of water. Remove contact lenses if easy to do. Continue rinsing. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.

Rinse mouth. If you are concerned, get medical advice.

Use a fire fighting agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition.

Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapours, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice.

For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapours, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. For larger spills, cover drains and build dykes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water.

Avoid release to the environment.

Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorised person. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and Safety Data Sheet. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.

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

Contents may be under pressure, open carefully. Avoid inhalation of thermal decomposition products. For industrial/occupational use only. Not for consumer sale or use. Do not use in a confined area with minimal air exchange. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/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. Use personal protective equipment (eg. gloves, respirators...) as required.

Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store at temperatures not exceeding 38C/100F.

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling.

For those situations where the material 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. Use general dilution ventilation ... with independent air supply. 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 with independent air supply.

Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing approved to relevant local standards to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Selection should be based on use factors such as exposure levels, concentration of the substance or mixture, frequency and duration, physical challenges such as temperature extremes, and other use conditions. Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible gloves/protective clothing. Note: Nitrile gloves may be worn over polymer laminate gloves to improve dexterity. Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Neoprene (Thickness: No data available, Breakthrough Time: No data available), Polymer laminate (Thickness: No data available, Breakthrough Time: No data available). When only incidental contact is anticipated, alternative glove material(s) may be used. If contact with the glove does occur, remove immediately and replace with a set of new gloves. For incidental contact, gloves made of the following material(s) may be used: Nitrile rubber. Use gloves tested to EN 374.

Eye protection not required.

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: Half facepiece or full facepiece supplied-air respirator. Use a respirator conforming to EN 140 or EN 136.

If this product is used in a manner that presents a higher potential for exposure (eg. spraying, high splash potential etc.), then use of protective coveralls may be necessary. Select and use body protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. The following protective clothing material(s) are recommended: Neoprene apron. Apron - polymer laminate.

Stable.

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

Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.

Light.

Strong bases. Amines. Alcohols.

Hydrogen Fluoride (At elevated temperatures. - extreme conditions of heat). Refer to section 5.2 for hazardous decomposition products during combustion. Extreme heat arising from situations such as misuse or equipment failure can generate hydrogen fluoride as a decomposition product.
