Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms develop, get

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at

least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water. If signs/symptoms

develop, get medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give victim two glasses of water.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get

immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Use fire extinguishers with class B extinguishing agents

(e.g., dry chemical, carbon dioxide).

Product arising from burning: COx, NOx, SO2, HF

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-

contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Observe precautions from other sections. Call 3M- HELPS line

(1-800-364-3577) for more information on handling and

managing the spill. Evacuate unprotected and untrained

personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up

by qualified personnel. Ventilate the area with fresh air.

For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide

mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in

accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A

motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable

gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode.

Contain spill. For larger spills, cover drains

and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or

bodies of water. 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 with water. Place in a metal container approved

for transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the

container. Dispose of collected material as soon as

possible.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Do not breathe

thermal decomposition products. For industrial or

professional use only.

Storage: Store away from acids. Keep container in well-ventilated

area.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Product will be packaged in HDPE containers (typically

100mL, 4L, and 20L sizes).  Product can be safely packaged

in glass containers as well. Formulated etching & cleaning

solutions will be packaged in high density polyethylene

containers up to 55 gallons.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Product is used in extremely low quantities and in an

environment not conducive to reclamation, thus recovery and

recycling are not practical.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration of the product as-sold is viable.  Most

properly operating incinerators reach a temperature (~926 C

or 1700 F) and have a retention time (3 seconds or more)

sufficient for complete destruction. It is recommended that

this material be slowly metered to an incinerator that is

properly equipped with flu gas scrubbers, as HF will be

generated curing combustion.  The material could also be

sent to a chemical waste facility for disposal.  Once

diluted for use, the preparation becomes a poor candidate

for incineration due to the large volume of water.  Disposal

must be in compliance with all applicable federal, state,

and local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The release of the preparation to wastewater treatment is

unlikely to exhibit significant environmental impact, nor

would it be expected to disrupt the operation of properly

operating wastewater treatment systems.  Concentrations

discharged to wastewater are very low (calculated to be <10

parts per trillion), and will ultimately degrade to

perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS).

3M's research and experience indicate that reclamation

through some physical or chemical means (e.g., filtering,

precipitating, etc.) at these concentrations is not a viable

option
