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
