Health and Safety
! CAUTION
When handling any chemical products, read the manufacturers’ container labels and the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for important
health, safety and environmental information. To obtain SDS sheets for 3M products go to 3M.com/SDS, or by mail or in case of an
emergency, call 1-800-364-3577 or 1-651-737-6501.
When using any equipment, always follow the manufacturers’ instructions for safe operation.
! WARNING
To reduce the risks of personal injury and/or property damage associated with glass breakage:
A glass surface covered by a film with areas of high opacity or dark-colored ink will absorb more heat than other glass surfaces
when exposed to sunlight. Heat absorption can create thermal expansion that could result in glass breakage or cracking. Do not use
a film with areas of high opacity or dark-colored ink on glass surfaces with significant exposure to sunlight.
