Safety Precautions

FLAMMABLE MATERIAL - Professional handling required. Class 3 flammable liquid requiring comprehensive ventilation systems and explosion-proof equipment. Store in cool, well-ventilated areas below 77°F (25°C). Mandatory PPE includes chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber, minimum 0.3mm thickness), splash-proof chemical goggles, organic vapor respirator with appropriate cartridges, and flame-resistant protective clothing. Work only in properly ventilated areas with explosion-proof ventilation systems. Maintain exposure levels below OSHA PEL of 150 ppm TWA. Ensure proper grounding and bonding procedures for transfer operations. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces, and other ignition sources. Install emergency eyewash stations and safety showers in handling areas. Follow all industrial safety protocols for handling flammable solvents and maintain proper fire suppression equipment. Utilize only compatible materials for transfer and storage including stainless steel or properly rated solvent containers.
