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,

Worker Toxicity
LPS TAPMATIC NATURAL CUTTING FLUID is an industrial metal cutting fluid intended for 鈥渉and application鈥? and is
comprised of alkyl esters (fatty oils) of natural origin. LPS TAPMATIC NATURAL CUTTING FLUID is not hazardous per
U.S. federal definitions (29 CFR 1910.1200 Subpart Z). While this product is not expected even to be an eye irritant, it is a
good practice to wear protective eyewear while using it and to avoid prolonged skin exposure. Don鈥檛 breathe 鈥渟moke鈥? from
any cutting fluid for extended periods without improved ventilation or the use of appropriate PPE. For more exposure and
first aid information, refer to MSDS Sections 2, 8 and 11.
Flammability
LPS TAPMATIC NATURAL CUTTING FLUID has a flash point of 350oF, and under normal use conditions is not
considered flammable. However, oils can be forced to burn; don鈥檛 apply the product onto red-hot metal surfaces.
Disposal
Spent or spilled LPS TAPMATIC NATURAL CUTTING FLUID should not be dumped down a drain. Collect any spilled
material and dispose of properly. See section 13 for more details.

open. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get medical attention. If not
Inhalation:
breathing, give artificial respiration and get medical attention.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to
Ingestion:
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.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
Mutagenic Effects: None
Teratogenic Effects: None
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: None known.
Signs and Symptoms
Eye redness. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause redness, irritation, and scaling of the skin
(dermatitis). Prolonged breathing of oil mist may cause headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and other lung-
related effects.

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: None.
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 all materials in dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors.
