4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eyes No need for first aid is anticipated Skin No need for first aid is anticipated Ingestion If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms persist medical attention. Inhalation Move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical attention immediately for any breathing difficulty. If Swallowed No need for first aid is anticipated.

5. FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media This preparation is used as an extinguishing agent and therefore is not a problem when trying to control a blaze.. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Pressurized cylinders may explode in heat of fire. Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fire conditions.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Observe precautions from other sections. Call 3M- HELP Line (1-800-364-3577) for more information on handling and managing the spill. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Contain spill, cover drains, 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. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Pressurized cylinders should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Do not drag, slide or roll extinguishers. Do not drop cylinders or permit them to strike against each other. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the extinguisher or plastic container. Store pressurized cylinders and plastic containers away from high heat sources. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - under cover - out of direct sunlight

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational exposure limits are listed below, if they exist. 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5-Nonafluoro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)-3-Pentanone 150 ppm TWA Engineering Control Measures Use with adequate ventilation. When used in large volumes, use local exhaust ventilation. 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. If thermal decomposition occurs, wear supplied air respiratory protection. Hand Protection Use leather gloves when handling cylinders Eye Protection Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields Body Protection Normal work wear
