CAUSE
Solvents and coatings can be
highly flammable or
combustible,
especially when sprayed.
Certain materials may
harmful if inhaled, or if there
is contact with the skin.
Halogenated hydrocarbon
Solvents- for example:
methylene chloride and 1,1,1,
-Trichloroethane are not
chemically compatible with
the aluminum that might be
used in many system
components. The chemical
reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with
aluminum can become violent
and lead to an equipment
explosion.
CAUSE
Improper operation or
maintenance may create a
hazard.
