SOLVENT CLEANING COMPOUND

(DRY CLEANING SOLVENT)
 Solvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680
Type II and Type III may be irritating to the
eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles.
Use in well-ventilated areas. Use respirator as
needed. Accidental ingestion may cause
irritation of digestive tract and respiratory tract,
may cause lung and central nervous system
damage, and may be fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation of high/massive concentrations may
cause coma or may be fatal. First aid for
ingestion: do not induce vomiting. Seek
immediate medical attention. First aid for skin
contact: remove contaminated clothing. Wash
skin thoroughly with soap and water. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. First
aid for eye contact: flush with water for 15
minutes or until irritation subsides. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention. First aid for
inhalation: move to fresh air. If not breathing,
provide artificial respiration. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention. Keep away from
open flames and other sources of ignition.
 The flashpoint for Type II solvent cleaning
compound is 141ºF to 198ºF (61ºC to 92ºC) and
for Type III it is 200ºF to 241ºF (93ºC to 116ºC).
 Improper cleaning methods and use of
unauthorized cleaning solvents may injure
personnel and damage equipment.
 Fire extinguishers should be placed nearby
when using solvent cleaning compound.
 Cloths or rags saturated with solvent cleaning
compound must be disposed of in accordance
with authorized facilities’ procedures.
 Eye shields must be worn when cleaning with a
wire brush. Flying rust and metal particles may
cause injury.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in
serious injury or death to personnel.
