FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media
3MTM NovecTM 1230 is used as an extinguishing agent and therefore is not a problem when trying to
control a blaze. Use extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved. Keep containers and
surroundings cool with water spray as containers may rupture or burst in the heat of a fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Containers may explode in heat of fire. Predominant decomposition product is hydrogen fluoride in fire
situations. By -products are irritating and potentially toxic.
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fire
conditions.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Wear full protective clothing. Remove leaking cylinder to a well ventilated area. Contain and absorb
using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
7.
HANDLING AND STORAGE

Containers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Do not
drag, slide or roll containers. Do not drop containers or permit them to strike against each other. Never
apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the container. Store away from sources of heat or
ignition. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - under cover - out of direct sunlight away from incompatible materials (see Section 10)
