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鈥檛 help the non-professional. LPS includes this 鈥淧LAIN LANGUAGE HAZARD SUMMARY鈥? to
address the questions and concerns of the average worker. If you have additional health, safety or product questions,
don鈥檛 hesitate to call us at 800/241-8334.
Worker Toxicity
LPS PRECISION CLEAN AEROSOL is an industrial chemical. It is a specialized highly alkaline cleaner designed to
remove grime, oils, and light grease from metal, concrete and other durable surfaces. It contains sodium metasilicate, a
strongly alkaline material that can be irritating to skin and eyes. Avoid extended exposure to unprotected skin. Don鈥檛 get it
in your eyes (it stings), or breathe heavy mist (if working with pressure washing equipment in poorly ventilated areas). For
more exposure and first aid information, refer to MSDS Sections 2, 8 and 11.
Flammability
LPS PRECISION CLEAN AEROSOL is considered to be non-flammable under standard industry tests; however, it does
contain a few percent of propane/isobutane propellant (鈥済as grill鈥? fuel). Be aware of ignition sources in your area when
dispensing this product. Flammable propellant is heavier than air and will travel along the floor for some distance.
Disposal
Aerosol products are considered non-hazardous for disposal if they are depressurized and empty. Per U.S. Federal
regulations, an aerosol is considered to be empty if it has less than 1 inch of fluid left inside. Aerosols that fail to spray out
completely and remain pressurized can be safely punctured so that the concentrate can be used as intended and the
container discarded as non-hazardous waste. See section 13 for additional disposal information.

Section 2 鈥? Hazards Identification
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
Emergency Overview: WARNING: Mild eye irritant. Contents under pressure.
Primary route(s) of entry: Skin and Eye contact.
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Irritating to eyes
Eyes:
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Skin:
Inhalation of large quantities of spray mist may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Inhalation:
Product has a low order of acute oral toxicity, but ingestion of large quantities may cause nausea,
Ingestion:
vomiting, and gastrointestinal irritation.
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 skin disorders or chronic respiratory
diseases 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 mist concentrations may cause irritation of throat and eyes.

Section 4 鈥? First Aid Measures
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
Ingestion:
mouth to an unconscious person. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur, place victim鈥檚 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 鈥? Fire Fighting Measures
Products of Combustion: Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Sensitivity to Impact: None Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Yes
Protection Clothing (Fire): None.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: Intensive heat created by fire will cause aerosols to burst.
Section 6 鈥? 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. Do not flush to sewer.
Section 7 鈥? 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掳F.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store aerosols as Level 3 Aerosol (NFPA 30B). Store all materials in
dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors.
