Important Safety Notice Trichloroethylene is a suspected carcinogen. Vapours may cause dizziness, headache and central nervous system depression. Avoid prolonged inhalation and skin absorption. Use only in well-ventilated areas or with engineering controls. Avoid contact with strong alkalis and aluminium. Consult SDS before use.

Store in tightly sealed containers away from light and heat
Keep in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse
Store away from strong alkalis, aluminium and reactive metals
Do not store in aluminium containers – use steel or lined drums
Recommended storage temperature below 30°C
Keep away from food, feedstuffs and drinking water

Chemical-resistant gloves (neoprene or butyl rubber)
Safety goggles or face shield
Air-supplied respirator or supplied-air breathing apparatus in enclosed spaces
Impermeable protective clothingAvoid skin contact and inhalation
