A health hazard rating of 3 is usually reserved for compounds that contain a benzene ring (which is carcinogenic), so I would guess there was some form of benzene compound. One that could fit some of the numbers is Benzoyl Chloride which would react with the aluminum of any hard drives destroying the data. Then I would assume some explosives were also present to create damage/fires and account for the fire rating of 4.
Additionally Benzoyl Chloride reacts with water as well.
True, I'm working under the assumption there were more than one chemicals/compounds in play. In example:
You need time for Benzoyl Chloride to destroy data on hard drives (the chemicals eats the metals/plastics everything). However, that might take a couple minutes.
So, what do you do? Play over a loud speaker that it's time to evacuate with a 15 minute countdown.
Then you detonate the explosives with the higher flammability rating of 4. To burn anything left.
Voila, chemical destruction followed by physical destruction. This would almost guarantee the data isn't recoverable.
