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 CFC FREE ELECTRO CONTACT CLEANER is designed for the removal of dirt, moisture, dust, flux, and 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 isohexane and isopropyl alcohol which can be irritating to skin at a minimum and if handled
improperly can be dangerous. We suggest you wear gloves and avoid extended exposure to unprotected skin. Don鈥檛 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鈥檛 spray LPS CFC FREE ELECTRO
CONTACT CLEANER for extended periods without adequate ventilation. If you鈥檙e 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 CFC FREE ELECTRO CONTACT CLEANER is extremely flammable, having a flash point below 32oF (0oC). Do not spray
onto live electrical equipment or in or around ignition sources. Store product away from heat sources.
Disposal
If you spill LPS CFC FREE ELECTRO CONTACT CLEANER, notify the proper environmental or safety department at your
company right away. If LPS CFC FREE ELECTRO CONTACT CLEANER becomes contaminated with another substance and is
rendered unusable for cleaning, the resulting mixture will fall under at least one hazardous classification. See section 13 for more
details.

Section 2 鈥? Hazards Identification
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
Emergency Overview: DANGER: Extremely Flammable. 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
Eyes
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Skin
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 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 3 鈥? Composition / Information on Ingredients
Component CASRN Percent by Weight
2-methylpentane 107-83-5 70-90%
Isopropanol 67-63-0 5-20%
Carbon dioxide (aerosol only) 124-38-9 2-4%
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 monoxide and carbon dioxide.
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, spread fire and overcome sprinkler
systems.
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.
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.
