3M Electronics Markets Materials Division (EMMD) will not knowingly sample, support, or sell its products for
incorporation in medical and pharmaceutical products and applications in which the 3M product will be temporarily or
permanently implanted into humans or animals. The customer is responsible for evaluating and determining that a 3M
EMMD product is suitable and appropriate for its particular use and intended application. The conditions of evaluation,
selection, and use of a 3M product can vary widely and affect the use and intended application of a 3M product. Because
many of these conditions are uniquely within the user’s knowledge and control, it is essential that the user evaluate and
determine whether the 3M product is suitable and appropriate for a particular use and intended application, and complies with

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11.1. Information on toxicological effects.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment required
Not applicable
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Suitable extinguishing media
Use a fire fighting agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to
thermal decomposition.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products
Substance Condition
Carbon monoxide During Combustion
Carbon dioxide During Combustion
5.3. Special protective actions for fire-fighters
When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal decomposition of the product is possible, 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.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate area. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. -No smoking. Ventilate the area with fresh air.
Refer to other sections of this SDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation,
and personal protective equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
3M™Novec™Flux Remover 10/09/14

bodies of water.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
If possible, seal leaking container. Place leaking containers in a well-ventilated area, preferably an operating exhaust hood, or
if necessary outdoors on an impermeable surface until appropriate packaging for the leaking container or its contents is
available. 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. Remember, adding an
absorbent material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. 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 authorized person. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety
precautions on the solvent label and SDS. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Do not breathe thermal decomposition products. For industrial or professional use only. Do not use in a confined area with
minimal air exchange. Store work clothes separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products. Do not pierce or burn,
even after use. Do not breathe 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.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures
exceeding 50C/122F. Store away from heat. Store away from strong bases. Store away from oxidizing agents.

8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Engineering controls
Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. Do not remain in area where available oxygen may be reduced.
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.
8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. The following eye/face
protection(s) are recommended:
Indirect Vented Goggles
Skin/hand protection
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.
Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Nitrile Rubber
Respiratory protection
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
For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.

SECTION 16: Other information
NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 3 Flammability: 1 Instability: 0 Special Hazards: None
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address
the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar
emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include
the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities.
HMIS Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 1 Physical Hazard: 0 Personal Protection: X -See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS® III) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards
in the workplace. These ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use
and are not intended for use in emergency situations. HMIS® III ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® III
program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the American Coatings Association (ACA).
