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 Cold Galvanize is a zinc rich industrial maintenance coating. It is gray and opaque 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 Cold Galvanize can make you dizzy or drowsy. For
more exposure and first aid information, refer to MSDS Sections 2, 8 and 11.
Flammability
LPS Cold Galvanize is extremely flammable having a flash point less than 30癈 and an auto ignition temperature over
525oC. Avoid sparks or open flame. See Handling and storage precautions.
Disposal
LPS Cold Galvanize 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 preparation is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
Emergency Overview: DANGER: Extremely Flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Harmful or Fatal if
Swallowed. Highly toxic to aquatic organisms.
Primary route(s) of entry: Skin and Eye contact. Inhalation.
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eyes: Can cause eye irritation.
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: Swallowing/Ingesting this material can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Minute amounts aspirated
into lungs during ingestion may cause pulmonary injury.
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:
Eyes and Skin Irritation: Symptoms include, stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Repeated or prolonged
skin contact can cause skin dryness or cracking.
Inhalation: Breathing of high vapor concentrations may cause headaches, stupor, irritation of throat and eyes,
drowsiness, dizziness and kidney effects.
Ingestion: Ingestion of this material may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. 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.
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: 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
Methods for Clean-up:
Small Spill and Leak: Eliminate ignition sources. Absorb with an inert material and dispose of properly.
Large Spill and Leak: Eliminate ignition sources. For large spills, 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.
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Handling: Eliminate ignition sources. All equipment used when handling this material must be grounded when fluid
temperature exceeds 80癋. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. After handling, always wash hands thoroughly with
soap and water. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists.
Storage: Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid all sources of ignition (spark or flame). Store below 120癋.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:
Store all materials in dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors.

Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits.
Personal Protection:
Eyes: Wear chemical splash glasses/goggles/face shield when eye and/or face contact is
possible due to splashing or spraying of material.
Respiratory: Use appropriate respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
Hands: Use solvent resistant gloves.
General Hygiene Considerations: Avoid breathing mist. Avoid eye and skin contact. Have eye-wash facilities
immediately available. Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or drinking.
