Handling & Safety Information

⚠️

Important Safety Notice Perchloroethylene is a suspected carcinogen and central nervous system depressant. Avoid prolonged inhalation and skin absorption. Use only in well-ventilated areas or enclosed systems with engineering controls. Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents. Do not discharge to drains or waterways.

Store in tightly sealed containers away from light and heat
Keep in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse
Store away from strong oxidising agents
Do not store in aluminium containers – use steel or HDPE-lined drums
Recommended storage temperature below 30°C
Prevent environmental contamination – do not discharge to drains

Chemical-resistant gloves (neoprene or butyl rubber)
Safety goggles or face shield
Supplied-air respirator in poorly ventilated spaces
Impermeable protective clothing
Avoid skin contact and vapour inhalation
Consult Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling
