CLP    MSDS   Info

Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant -  Sold to the Govt by Break Free

Does not give all ingredients - Say 'proprietary ingredients'

Note, there is an aerosol version of this... this would be more toxic if it contains 5% or more of the 2-butoxyethanol family of chemical (says, "Proprietary Formula; Specific Chemicals Have Been Withheld.") "In case of spill -  take precautions to prevent contamination of ground or surface water.  DO NOT FLUSH INTO SEWER."  

(These are warnings typically found with 2-butoxyethanol.)  Simple Green will declare, "non toxic" but it does contain 2-butoxyethanol and it does give these same warnings about water; washing eyes for 15 minutes if you get in your eyes, etc.

 

Product MSDS for Aerosol CLP states, "Do not smoke, eat or drink while using this product."

"Wash hands with soap and water before smoking, eating, drinking or using toilet facilities.

Launder contaminated clothing before reuse."
