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 PSC PLASTIC SAFE CLEANER is an aerosol remover of dirt, moisture, dust, flux, or oxides from the internal components
of electronic or precision equipment such as circuit boards, and the internal components of electronic devices, including but not
limited to, radios, compact disc (CD) players, digital video disc (DVD) players, and computers. It contains tetrafluoroethane,
trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and isopropyl alcohol, which can be irritating to skin, and 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 PSC PLASTIC SAFE CLEANER 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, 8 and
11.
Flammability
LPS PSC PLASTIC SAFE CLEANER has no flash point and exhibits no flame extension when sprayed into an ignition source.
However, it does contain a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. If a sufficient amount of material is sprayed into a confined area
and allowed to partially evaporate, conditions for flammability could exist. Do not spray onto live electrical (such as DC drive
motors) equipment or in or around ignition sources. Store product away from heat sources.
Disposal
If the aerosol container of LPS PSC PLASTIC SAFE CLEANER will not empty and contains 1 inch (2.5 cm) or more of liquid, it
will fall under at least one hazardous waste classification. If the item is exhausted of its contents and is no longer pressurized, it
is not considered a hazardous waste. Treat all spent aerosol containers appropriately. 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).
Emergency Overview: WARNING: Aerosol contents under pressure. Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed.
Primary route(s) of entry: Skin and Eye contact. Inhalation.
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Irritating to eyes. May cause frostbite upon extended direct contact.
Eyes
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. May cause frostbite upon extended direct
Skin
contact.
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, nausea, dizziness or headache.
Inhalation:
Product has a low order of acute oral toxicity, but ingestion of large quantities may cause nausea,
Ingestion:
vomiting, and gastrointestinal irritation. May cause frostbite upon extended direct contact. May cause
injury if aspirated into lungs.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
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 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 4 ?First Aid Measures
Eyes: Check for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops, flush eyes with lukewarm, 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. If frostbite occurs, warm area with lukewarm water and 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. If frostbite occurs, warm area with lukewarm water and seek
medical attention immediately.
Section 5 ?Fire Fighting Measures
Products of Combustion: Hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, chlorine, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
NFPA Class: Not classified.
Firefighting media: SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to
prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosions.
Sensitivity to Impact: None. Sensitivity to Static Discharge: None.
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.
Section 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill and Leak: Absorb with an inert material and dispose of properly.
Large Spill and Leak: 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: 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 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 aerosols as Level 1 Aerosol (NFPA 30B). Store all materials in dry,
well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors.
