When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it. As a chemical, it is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. When contact with combustible material, it may cause fire. What's more, it is explosive when mixed with combustible material. During using it, wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Keep away from heat, sources of ignition and combustible material. If contact with eyes accidently, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
