Product Step One Neutralizer, and dehydrator, designed to be cleaner of stains and handling oils. used
use with Step Two Rust Stopper. It will remove even the acids and oils of fingerprints from handling of
the mold in preparation of the mold for application of a protectant. Designed to remove moisture
from the mold. Used as a premium mold cleaner.
NOTE: For molds used in processing of PVC or CPVC, the mold must be cold and dry, before
using Step One and Step Two. This is to assure the mold is completely free of the hydrochloric
acid generated by those resins. The extreme corrosive nature of hydrochloric acid is activated by
just moisture from the air.

Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Repeated overexposure may cause eye, skin, eating and breathing irritation.
For large spills, wear personal protective equipment appropriate for all the conditions.
HEALTH EFFECTS - (Acute and Chronic):
Mouth FATAL OR HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. May cause nausea if ingested. If vomiting occurs,
aspiration of the material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. May
result in damage to throat, esophagus, and/or gastro-intestinal tract.
Nose FATAL OR HARMFUL IF INHALED. Headache, dizziness, nausea, lightheaded, pass out.
Eye Irritation. Symptoms may be burning, tearing, redness, or swelling.
Skin Irritation. Symptoms may be burning, drying, redness, cracking. Repeated or prolonged contact in
the absence of proper hygiene, may cause dryness, irritation, and/or dermatitis.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY Mouth, nose, eyes, skin
TARGET ORGANS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None expected unless
there is gross overexposure. Persons with chronic respiratory disease, liver, kidney, or nervous system

disorders may show increased symptoms due to irritation.
Section 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
NOTE If any irritation persists, get medical help.
Breathing Remove to fresh air immediately. Keep person warm and quiet. If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Get Medical
Attention Immediately. If lung irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, get
emergency medical attention immediately.
Unlikely route of entry; however, do not induce vomiting if ingestion does occur. Aspiration of
Eating
the material into the lungs during vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be
fatal. Give liquids. Contains petroleum solvents. Get Medical Attention Immediately.
Eye Flush thoroughly with water for at least 20 minutes. Get Medical Attention Immediately..
May cause temporary eye irritation.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Wash
Skin
contaminated clothing before re-use.

Autoignition temperature ....NA NFPA
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR in SPRAY VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE
In the bulk, the solvent / active (non-propellant) portion has a flash point (PMCC) of 105掳 F, based on the
component of lowest value.
Extinguishing Media Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water fog. Using water to cool exposed
containers may be useful.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures Firefighters should wear self-contained, positive-pressure breathing
apparatus, due to thermal decomposition products, and should avoid skin contact. At elevated
temperatures (over 120掳 F) pressurized containers may burst, vent, or rupture. Use equipment or shielding
to protect personnel against bursting, rupturing, or venting containers. Cooling with water streams may be
helpful. Prevent runoff from entering streams, sewer, or drinking water supply.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Vapors can be ignited by ignition source.
Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Evacuate and ventilate area. Avoid
breathing vapors. Use protective equipment consistent with the situation. Remove sources of ignition. Pick
up the spill on absorbent material; store in closed containers for proper disposal. If spill occurs indoors, turn
off air conditioning and/or heating system to prevent vapors from contaminating entire building. Ventilate
area to reduce concentration of the components below their exposure limits. Avoid contamination of ground
and surface waters. Otherwise, cleanup according to the safety or environmental hazards of the
contaminants. Do not let contaminated product get to drains, sewers, public water source, or rainfall.
Potential for creating static electricity when pouring
Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Do not
puncture, burn, or store above 120掳 F (49掳 C). Give empty, leaking, or full containers to a disposal service
equipped to handle and dispose of pressurized containers.
Maintenance Precautions Do not remove or deface label.
Other Precautions Read and follow directions and cautions on the container label, and any accompanying
literature. Do not wear or take contaminated clothing home.
Handling Wash after handling, and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products.
Transfer or pouring Applications Potential for creating static electricity when pouring any such material.
Ground persons or the process to prevent handlers from static shocks. Where exposure exceeds the TLV,
use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator, goggles, rubber gloves, and protective clothing.
Additional Comments Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents of this
product may be harmful or fatal.
Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to keep exposure below the threshold limit
value. Ventilation used also must be designed to prevent spots of vapors accumulation or recycling of
Step One Neutralizer and dehydrator
IMS Company Page 3 of 4
Validation Date: September 13, 2006 Material Safety Data Sheet L-0029A, L-0207
vapors, especially near sources of high heat, electric arcs or static-electric sparks.
General room ventilation may be adequate to maintain components below TLV/PEL, if handled at ambient
temperatures, or in covered equipment. Local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls may be
required, if ambient temperatures are exceeded, or if used in operations without good air circulation. It is
good practice to limit exposure to any vapor to the OSHA nuisance exposure limit of 10 mg/m3 TWA.
Apron or other body covering is recommended where there is a possibility of regular work clothing
becoming contaminated with the product. All soiled or dirty clothing and personal protective equipment
should be cleaned before reuse.
Respiratory Protection Generally not required if adequate ventilation is provided. Provide NIOSHA/MSHA
jointly approved respirator in the absence of proper environmental control. If the exposure limit is
exceeded, an approved dust mask should be used (consult your safety equipment supplier). If exposures
exceed limits by less than a factor of ten, use a NIOSH approved, 陆 mask facepiece respirator for
particulate matter. If exposures exceed 10 times the recommended limits, consult a professional industrial
hygienist or your respiratory protective equipment supplier for selection of the proper equipment.
Protective Gloves Wear neoprene or equivalent where prolonged or repeated contact with the spray mist
or deposited product is likely.
Other Protective Equipment If contact with the spray is likely, eye protection is recommended. Goggles,
safety glasses with side shields or with a face shield will provide protection in most situations. Contact
lenses are not recommended.
Other Engineering Controls To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Eye bath
and safety shower station should be available.
Work Practices Do not use in confined or closed space. Use enough ventilation to maintain the
concentration of the product and its components below their exposure limits. Avoid long-term or repeated
contact. Sudden release of hot vapor or mist from process equipment operating at elevated temperature
and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into hot equipment under vacuum, may result in decomposition
without obvious source of heat. All uses of this product in elevated-temperature processes must be
thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Hygienic Practices As with using any chemical product, avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing
vapors, mist, etc., do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area; wash hands prior to eating, drinking or using
restroom after handling or using this or any chemical product. Any chemical product can contaminate
tobacco, causing illness (from inhaling components heated in tobacco smoke or ingested from handling
tobacco and/or food products).
