PLAIN LANGUAGE HAZARD SUMMARY
Material Safety Data Sheets can be confusing. Federal and State laws require us to include a great deal of technical
information that probably won't help the non-professional. LPS includes this "PLAIN LANGUAGE HAZARD
SUMMARY" to address the questions and concerns of the average worker. If you have additional health, safety or
product questions, don't hesitate to call us at 800/241-8334.
Worker Toxicity
LPS Belt Dressing is an industrial product designed to reduce slippage and extend the life of rubber belting. It contains
isohexane and a mixture of propane and isobutane which are very flammable, and if handled improperly can be dangerous.
Don't get it in your eyes (it stings), or breath large amounts of the vapor, (it will dry out your nasal passages and if you
breathe large amounts in poorly ventilated areas it can make you dizzy and even sick). Don't spray LPS Belt Dressing for
extended periods without adequate ventilation. If you're going to perform work involving a lot of product in a poorly ventilated
area, use of a respirator or self-contained breathing equipment may be required. Also, avoid extended exposure to
unprotected skin (it will cause your skin to get very dry). Wear gloves if necessary. For more exposure and first aid
information, refer to MSDS Sections 2, 8 and 11.
Flammability
LPS Belt Dressing is extremely flammable, having a flash point below 12癋 (-11癈). Do not spray onto live electrical
equipment or in or around ignition sources. Store product away from heat sources. Also, don't spray the product onto
red-hot metal surfaces.
Disposal
LPS Belt Dressing is only available in aerosol form so large scale spills are very unlikely. However, if an aerosol fails to
discharge its contents and has more than one inch of fluid in the bottom of the can, it is considered a hazardous waste under
U.S. EPA guidelines due to flammability. See section 13 for more details.

Section 2 ?Hazards identification
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
This product has been classified in accordance with the hazard criteria of the Controlled Products Regulations and the
MSDS contains all the information required by the Controlled Products Regulations.
Emergency Overview:
Aerosol: DANGER: Extremely Flammable. Eye irritant. Vapor Harmful. Contents under pressure. Harmful or Fatal if
Swallowed. Do not use on energized equipment
Primary route(s) of entry: Skin and Eye contact. Inhalation.
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Irritating to eyes
Eyes:
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Skin:
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, nausea, dizziness or
Inhalation:
headache.
Product has a low order of acute oral toxicity, but ingestion of large quantities may cause
Ingestion:
nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal irritation. May cause injury if aspirated into lungs.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: NTP: No OSHA: No ACGIH: No
Mutagenic Effects: None
Teratogenic Effects: This material (or component) has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal
studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these
findings to humans is uncertain.
Target Organs:
Prolonged and repeated exposure to n-hexane may cause peripheral neuropathy by damaging peripheral nerve
tissue (that of the arms and legs) and result in muscular weakness and loss of sensation. Prolonged and repeated
inhalation of high levels of mixed isomers of hexane resulted in kidney damage in male rats. The effects observed
are the same as those seen in male rats exposed to other hydrocarbons. The mechanism by which these chemicals
cause the characteristic kidney toxicity is unique to the male rat and the kidney effects are not expected to occur in
man.
Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in
laboratory animals: liver abnormalities, kidney damage.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure:
Persons with pre-existing central nervous system (CNS) disease, neurological conditions, skin disorders, chronic
respiratory diseases, or impaired liver or kidney function should avoid exposure.
Signs and Symptoms:
Stinging in eyes. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause redness, irritation, and scaling of the skin (dermatitis).
Breathing of high vapor concentrations may cause headaches, stupor, irritation of throat and eyes, and kidney effects.

Check for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops, flush eyes with cool, clean, low
Eyes:
pressure water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of the eye and
eyelid tissue. Do not use eye ointment. Seek medical attention immediately.
Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Clean affected area thoroughly with mild soap and water. Do
Skin:
not use ointments. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Immediately move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing, immediately begin rescue breathing. If
Inhalation:
heart has stopped, immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If breathing is difficult, seek
medical attention immediately.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth
Ingestion:
to an unconscious person. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur, place victim's head below knees. If
victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on the left side with head down. Do not leave victim unattended.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Section 5 ?Fire Fighting Measures
Products of Combustion: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
General Fire Hazards: This item is a highly flammable aerosol. High heat will cause explosive rupture of containers
and the rapid spread of fire.
Firefighting media: Use CO2, DRY chemical powder, water spray, fog or foam. Cool containing vessels with water jet
in order to prevent pressure build-up, auto ignition or explosions.
Sensitivity to Impact: None. Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Yes
Protection Clothing (Fire): Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus to protect against potential hazardous combustion or decomposition products and
oxygen deficiencies. Evacuate area and fight the fire from a maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles.
