PART B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EYE CONTACT In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. SKIN CONTACT Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of warm water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation occurs, contact a doctor. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse and dispose of contaminated shoes. INHALATION Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, get immediate medical attention. SWALLOWED If swallowed, call a doctor or Poisons Information Centre immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of a doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Dry chemical. Water spray. Foam. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or positive pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus, tunic and pants, bands around arms, waist and legs, full facepiece, and protective covering for exposed areas of the head. Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and prevent explosive rupture. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. EXPLOSION AVOIDANCE Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, and other sources of ignition. TOP OF NEW PAGE 3M BRAND CONCRETE PROTECTOR AND RESTORER CHP INITIATOR Page 5 of 8. PART B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (SPILL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal Precautions Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment. Spill Response Ventilate area with fresh air. Extinguish all ignition sources. Contain spill. Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up by qualified personnel. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with commercially available inorganic absorbent material until it appears dry. Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam. An aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is recommended. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible using non-sparking tools. Clean up residue with water. Place in an approved metal container. Seal the container. For information on the 3M range of Sorbent materials, call 3M OH&ES on Freecall 1800 024-464. Methods for Disposal Incinerate in a permitted hazardous waste incinerator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 HANDLING AND STORAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Storage Requirements Keep container closed when not in use. Store below 38C away from combustible materials. Incompatibility - Materials to Avoid Store out of direct sunlight. Use Instructions Keep container tightly closed when not in use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PROTECTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Information, Exposure/Protection The extent to which the following recommendations for exposure control and protection are observed should depend on the risk assessment undertaken for the specific conditions under which this TOP OF NEW PAGE 3M BRAND CONCRETE PROTECTOR AND RESTORER CHP INITIATOR Page 6 of 8. PART B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ product is used, including occupational hygiene measurements. Eye Protection Avoid eye contact with vapour, spray, or mist. During operations in which eye exposure is likely, the following should be worn alone, or in combination, as appropriate: Unvented goggles. Full-face shield. When applying large quantities during high temperatures with little or no air movement, it is recommended that a full facepiece respirator be worn to prevent eye irritation. Eye protection should comply with AS/NZS1337. Hand Protection During operations in which hand exposure is likely, wear elbow length gloves. Gloves made from one of the following material(s) are recommended: Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). Skin Protection Avoid skin contact. Use one or more of the following personal protection items as necessary to prevent skin contact: Coveralls. Apron. Protective garments (other than gloves) should be made of the following material(s): polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) For footwear, knee length rubber boots should be worn. Respiratory Protection Avoid breathing vapours. During operations in which inhalation exposure is likely, respiratory protection should be used. Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS1715. When required, use one of the following: Half-facepiece organic vapour respirator. Full-face organic vapour respirator. A full facepiece respirator (e.g. 6000 Series Full Facemasks with A1 organic filters) where large quantities are applied and ventilation is not sufficient to remove irritating vapours. For information about respirators, call 3M on 1800 024464. Prevention of Accidental Ingestion Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Recommended Ventilation Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain emissions well below exposure standards. If exhaust ventilation is not adequate, use appropriate respiratory protection. Provide local exhaust or dilution ventilation to control vapours during product use. TOP OF NEW PAGE 3M BRAND CONCRETE PROTECTOR AND RESTORER CHP INITIATOR Page 7 of 8.
