  • Page 5: Important Safety Information

    Important Safety Information Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) MEKP is among the more hazardous materials found in commercial channels. Proper handling of the “unstable (reactive)” chemicals presents a definite challenge to the plastics industry. The highly reactive property which makes MEKP valuable to the plastics industry in producing the curing reaction of polyester resins and gel-coats also produces the hazards which require great care...
  • Page 6: Grounding

    Grounding Some materials may become self-igniting if applied too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS. Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanites This equipment needs to be grounded.
