1 PUMA GENERAL PURPOSE DEGREASER 1. Material and Company Identification. Material Name Uses Manufacturer/Supplier Contact Details 2. Hazards Identification. Puma General Purpose Degreaser Cleaner Centlube 29 Bezuidenhout Street Wadeville Germiston 1422 Puma Energy 15 Alice Lane Sandton Johannesburg 2196 Reception : Puma GPD is a clear water based degreaser with high alkalinity, which renders it suitable as a medium duty generalpurpose degreaser for most greasers. Puma GPD is especially effective for use in high pressure cleaning systems and being a high foamer it is an excellent degreaser for concrete floors. The product contains no hydrocarbon solvents and has virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOC). Being water-based it is non-flammable and completely biodegradable. Puma GPD is non-hazardous under the OSHA hazard communication standard. The ingredients of this product are not listed on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) inventory and do not have special toxic substances warning requirements. 3. Principal Uses. Puma GPD cleans most types of greases except those based on tar and bitumen. It is an excellent degreaser for graphite-based greases and anti-static cleaner for soils, which adhere electrostatically to automotive bodies, truck bodies, aluminium wheels and components. At high dilution it cleans concrete floors soiled with grease and oils. It s foam suspends dust and soil, which make cleaned surfaces easy to rinse. 4. First Aid Measures. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Eyes: Irrigate with eye wash solution or clear water, including under the eye lids for at least 10 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water and give ml of water to drink. Obtain medical attention.
