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 1-770-243-8800.
Worker Toxicity
LPS Premium Di-Electric Grease is a non-curing silicone compound used for sealing, lubricating, insulating, and
waterproofing of electrical connections and components. It contains isohexane and propane/isobutene propellant
which if handled improperly can be dangerous. We suggest you wear gloves and avoid extended exposure to
unprotected skin. 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 Premium Di-Electric Grease 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 even a self-contained breathing
apparatus may be necessary. For more exposure and first aid information, refer to MSDS Sections 2, 4, 8 and 11.
Flammability
o o
LPS Premium Di-Electric Grease is extremely flammable, having a flash point below 32 F (0 C). Do not spray onto live
electrical equipment or in or around ignition sources. Store product away from heat sources.
Disposal
If you spill LPS Premium Di-Electric Grease, notify the proper environmental or safety department at your company right
away. 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:
Eyes: Irritating to eyes
Skin: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, nausea, dizziness or
headache.
Ingestion: Product has a low order of acute oral toxicity, but ingestion of large quantities may cause
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: A minor component of this product, n-hexane, 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.

Section 3 ?Composition / Information on Ingredients
Component CASRN Percent by Weight
Propane/Isobutane Blend 68476-85-7 20 - 30%

n-hexane 110-54-3 1 - 3%
The remaining ingredients of this preparation are not considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
Section 4 ?First Aid Measures
Eyes: Check for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops, flush eyes with cool, clean, low
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.
Skin: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Clean affected area thoroughly with mild soap and water. Do
not use ointments. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Immediately move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing, immediately begin rescue breathing. If
heart has stopped, immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If breathing is difficult, seek
medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth
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.

Procedures
Special Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective equipment during
Procedures cleanup.
Section 7 ?Handling and Storage
Handling: DO NOT spray into or around ignition sources. After handling, always wash hands thoroughly with soap
and water. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists.
Storage: Keep container closed and in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid all sources of ignition (spark or flame). Store
below 120癋. Store aerosols as Level 3 Aerosol (NFPA 30B).
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store all materials in dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing
vapors. Ground and bond containers before transferring materials.
