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 BrightCoat is a shiny zinc rich industrial maintenance coating. It is silver and shiny in color, and has a solvent odor. It
is designed to prevent and repair rust and corrosion on the exterior of metal structures, metal parts, and metal structural
components. It contains acetone and zinc metal that can be irritating to skin. Avoid extended exposure to unprotected skin.
Don't get it in your eyes (it stings), or breath the vapor. Vapors from BrightCoat can make you dizzy or drowsy. For more
exposure and first aid information, refer to MSDS Sections 2, 8 and 11.
Flammability
LPS BrightCoat is extremely flammable. The dispensed liquid has a flash point of 27癈 and an auto ignition temperature
over 490癈. Avoid sparks or open flame. See Handling and storage precautions.
Disposal
LPS BrightCoat is in aerosol form and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Dispose of in accordance with local, state
and federal regulations. 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: DANGER: Extremely Flammable. Contents under pressure. Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed.
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. The solvent portion of this product can also
be absorbed through the skin and produce CNS depression effects.
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, nausea, dizziness or
headache. In extreme cases (overexposure in a confined space for example), severe depression of
the central nervous system can take place.
Ingestion: Ingestion of this product will cause central nervous system depression and gastrointestinal irritation.
May cause injury if aspirated into lungs.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: See Section 11
Mutagenic Effects: None
Teratogenic Effects: None
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, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause redness, irritation, skin
dryness or cracking and scaling of the skin (dermatitis). Breathing of high vapor concentrations may cause headaches,
stupor, irritation of throat and eyes, and kidney effects. Ingestion of this material may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a
burning sensation in the mouth and esophagus, dizziness, staggering gait, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, and other
central nervous system effects. As a result of vomiting, inhalation into the lungs may cause pulmonary injury.

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). Get
medical attention. 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: Hydrocarbons
Firefighting media:
Small Fire: Use DRY chemical powder.
Large Fire: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide. Avoid water. If aerosols are not yet involved in fire,
cool containers with water jet to prevent pressure build-up auto ignition or explosion.
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.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards:
Aerosols may explode upon heating, spread fire and overcome sprinkler systems. Zinc dust in contact with water evolves
hydrogen. An explosive condition may develop if this should happen in a confined space.
Section 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
Containment Contain and recover spilled liquid when possible.
Procedures
Clean-Up Procedures Small Spill and Leak: Eliminate ignition sources. Absorb with an inert material and
dispose of properly.
Large Spill and Leak: Eliminate ignition sources. Secure the area and control
access. Dike far ahead of a liquid spill to ensure complete
collection. Pick up free liquid for disposal using absorbent
pads, sand, or other inert non-combustible absorbent
materials. Place into appropriate waste containers for later
disposal.

Evacuation Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away.
Procedures
Special Procedures Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective equipment during
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. DO NOT breathe vapors or spray mists.
Storage: Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store near sources of ignition (spark or flame). Store
below 120癋.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store as Level 3 Aerosol (NFPA 30B). Store all materials in dry, well-
ventilated area. DO NOT breathe vapors.
