ASTM-F402 › Standard Practice for Safe Handling of Solvent Cements, Primers, and Cleaners Used for Joining Thermoplastic Pipe and Fittings
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This practice covers procedures for safe handling of solvent cements, primers, and cleaners used in joining thermoplastic pipe and fittings. The procedures are general ones and include safeguards against hazards of fire and precautions for protection of personnel from breathing of vapors and contact with skin or eyes. A number of the solvents contained in cements, primers, and cleaners are classified as airborne contaminants and flammable and combustible liquids. Avoid prolonged breathing of solvent vapors. Keep containers of cements, primers, and cleaners tightly closed except when the product is being used. Proper eye protection and the use of chemical goggles or face shields is advisable where the possibility of splashing exists in handling these products. Wear proper gloves impervious to and unaffected by the solvents when contact with the skin is likely.
