Drycleaning solvent, P-D-680, used to clean parts is potentially dangerous to personnel and property. Avoid
repeated and prolonged skin contact by wearing rubber or solvent impermeable gloves when handling the solvent
or material wet with drycleaning solvent. Wash hands immediately after exposure with soap and water and use a
lanolin based skin cream to prevent skin drying. Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. Flash point of
solvent is 100F (38C). Ensure that ventilation adequate to reduce solvent vapor concentrations below acceptable
threshold limit values is provided.
When using compressed air for blowing, air hose pressure must not exceed 30 psi, and individuals must wear eye
protective equipment.
