Solvents can be used safely in a wide range of applications, due to their generally low toxicity and easily-implemented safety procedures. These procedures range from ensuring adequate ventilation, by opening windows and doors, to more complex industrial procedures.

Material safety data sheets
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are the primary source of health and safety information on our products.
MSDS provide comprehensive safety and health information, including signs and symptoms of exposure, first aid, occupational exposure limits, and personal protective equipment. MSDS also include regulatory information, toxicity and environmental information, and advice on handling, storage and transportation.
