Store in a cool, dry place.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation for sanding, grinding or machining. Use
general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits
and/or control dust, fume, or airborne particles. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face Protection
Avoid eye contact. To minimize the risk of injury to face and eyes, always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or
grinding operations or when near such operations.
he following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields
.

8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact. Wear appropriate gloves to minimize risk of injury to skin from contact with dust or physical abrasion from
grinding or sanding.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of dust created by sanding, grinding or machining. Assess exposure concentrations of all materials involved in the
work process. Consider material being abraded when determining the appropriate resipratory protection. Select and use appropriate
respirators to prevent inhalation overexposure.
Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with
OSHA regulations: Half facepiece or fullface air-purifying respirator with N95 particulate filters
. Consult the current 3M Respiratory Selection Guide for additional information or call 1-800-243-4630 for 3M technical assistance.
8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Not an expected route of exposure. Wash hands after handlingand before eating.

SECTION 16: OTHER INFORMATION
NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 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.
Reason for Reissue: he MSDS has been revised because 3M has adopted the 16-section ANSI/ISO format. he potential hazards
of the product have not changed. We encourage you to reread the MSDS and review the information.
Revision Changes:
Section 8: Eye/face protection information was modified.
Section 8: Respiratory protection -recommended respirators information was modified.
Section 10: Materials to avoid physical property was modified.
Section 10: Conditions to avoid physical property was modified.
