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

Tapmatic® Edge Creme is an industrial chemical designed as a lubricant for metal cutting and forming applications. It is a
biodegradable cutting lubricant for high-efficiency applications on all metals. It has a low toxicity but can be irritating to
eyes and skin. Wear protective eyewear while using it and avoid prolonged skin exposure. If the product gets on clothing
(and even shoes), remove the affected clothing and launder it before wearing it again. For more exposure and first aid
information, refer to SDS Sections 2, 3, 8 and 11.

Flammability

Tapmatic® Edge Creme is non-flammable having a flash point above 330°F. For more information on flammability, refer
to MSDS section 5.

Disposal

If Tapmatic® Edge Creme becomes contaminated with another substance and is rendered unusable, the resulting mixture
may fall under at least one hazardous classification. See section 13 for more details.

MSDS contains all the information required by the Controlled Products Regulations.

Emergency Overview: CAUTION: May be an eye irritant.

Primary route(s) of entry: Skin and Eye contact.

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Eyes: Irritating to eyes.

Skin: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.

Inhalation: Low order of toxicity, but may irritate respiratory system.

Ingestion: Not a likely route of exposure. Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea. If
swallowed, call a physician immediately. ONLY induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Carcinogenic Effects: NTP: No OSHA: No ACGIH: No

Mutagenic Effects: None

Teratogenic Effects: None

Target Organs: None

Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: None known at this time.

Signs and Symptoms:

Stinging in eyes. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause redness, irritation, and scaling of the skin (dermatitis).

Section 4 • First Aid Measures

Eyes: Check for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops, flush eyes with cool, 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.

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.

Section 5 • 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, auto ignition 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 • Accidental Release Measures

Containment Contain and recover spilled liquid when possible.

Procedures

Clean-Up Procedures Small Spill and Leak: Absorb with an inert material and dispose of properly.

Large Spill and Leak: 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.

Evacuation Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away.
Procedures

Special Procedures Ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective equipment during cleanup.
