Applications
- Used as a solvent in making adhesives, varnishes, lacquers, coatings, rubber resins, textiles and printing inks, and for diluting paints.corecheminc.com
Applications are drawn from published manufacturer and supplier documentation; each is sourced. Suitability for a specific use is the buyer's to confirm.
Storage & Handling
- Recommended Storage
- Keep tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated flammables area away from ignition sources and oxidizers. Bond and ground during transfer. Store locked up.Adjudicated
- Handling Precautions
- Eliminate ignition sources. Use chemical-resistant nitrile or PVA gloves. Bond and ground all transfer equipment. Vapors heavier than air — control ventilation accordingly.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Incompatibilities
- Strong oxidizing agents.Adjudicated
