Handling & Safety Information

⚠️
Important Safety Notice Butyl Glycol is a combustible liquid. It is readily absorbed through skin. Prolonged inhalation or skin absorption may cause irritation and potential blood effects at high exposure levels. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Avoid prolonged skin contact.
  • Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry area
  • Keep in a well-ventilated warehouse away from heat sources
  • Store away from oxidising agents and strong acids
  • Keep away from ignition sources and open flames
  • Recommended storage temperature below 30°C
  • Use grounded containers to prevent static build-up
  • Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene)
  • Safety goggles or splash guard
  • Adequate ventilation or organic vapour respirator
  • Protective clothing to minimise skin exposure
  • Avoid prolonged skin contact and inhalation
  • Consult Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling
