HANDLING & STORAGE
The toxicological properties of Remax are similar to Solvent CIX and Xylenes . It
is not classified as higly inflammable because of higher flash point and therefore
does not come under Explosive Storage Regulations. However , all necessary
precautions should be taken against fire hazard during storage and use.
