1.2. Recommended use and restrictions on use

Recommended use
For Industrial Use Only, as Testing Fluid or Heat Transfer Fluid for Electronics. Not Intended for Use as a Medical Device or
Drug.
Restrictions on use
Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids are used in a wide variety of applications, including but not limited to precision cleaning of
medical devices and as lubricant deposition solvents for medical devices. When the product is used for applications where
the finished device is implanted into the human body, no residual Fluorinert solvent may remain on the parts. It is highly
recommended that the supporting test results and protocol be cited during FDA registration.

3M Electronics Materials Solutions Division (EMSD) 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
EMSD 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
all local applicable laws, regulations, standards, and guidance.

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
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.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

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. 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 in
accordance with applicable local/regional/national/international regulations.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Do not breathe thermal decomposition products. Avoid skin contact with hot material. For industrial/occupational use
only. Not for consumer sale or use. Store work clothes separately from other clothing, food and tobacco products.
Avoid release to the environment. Keep away from reactive metals (eg. Aluminum, zinc etc.) to avoid the formation of
hydrogen gas that could create an explosion hazard. 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.

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: 0 Flammability: 1 Physical Hazard: 0 Personal Protection: X - See PPE section.

Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS® IV) 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® IV ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS® IV
program. HMIS® is a registered mark of the American Coatings Association (ACA).
