Compatibility
Method:Samples of various materials were immersed in EKC162™ to determine compatibility. Exposure time of the samples to the chemistry was 65°C for seven days. After exposure the samples were weighed and visually examined for signs of incompatibility. The stripping solution was also analyzed to confirm there were no significant changes in metals contamination.

Safety Health & Environment (SHE)Handling and Storage
◆ Keep tightly closed and store in a dry, well ventilated area 40˚ to 90˚F (5˚ to 32˚C) is recommended
◆ Keep in original vented containers◆ Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and ketones◆ Prevent skin and ey contact◆ Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist
Personal Protection◆ Respiratory Protection = No personal respiratory equipment required when operated under
proper ventilation, such as a wet bench or fume hood . In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. (see MSDS for details)
◆ Wear Nitrile, Neoprene or Latex clothing and gloves, and chemical resistant boots when there is a probability of liquid contact.
◆ Wear chemical goggles◆ Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and
gloves, including the inside, before re-use.Disposal
◆ Can be landfilled or incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations. Incineration at a facility with appropriate permits or authorizations is the recommended method of disposal.
◆ Spent CSX-W62 should be segregated from ketones and gamma butyrolactone. (See MSDS for more details)
◆ Dispose of package in compliance with local regulation (See MSDS for more details)

Safety Health & Environment (SHE)Hazard Classification/Identification◆ Based on the EU Commissions Directive 2001/59/E, which sets out Annex VI to the Dangerous
Substances Directive, 67/548/EEC as amended, classifies substance with a LD50/dermal/rat or rabbit of ,50 mg/kg as very toxic by skin contact.
◆ The purpose of Annex VI is to provide a harmonized basis for the classification and labeling of dangerous substances and preparations with EU Member State countries.
◆ The 'trigger' levels for toxic substances within preparation blends is based on a volume percentage level, in the absence of any credible toxicity data for that preparation blend.◆ In the case of TMAH we have been guided to use a Guinea Pig toxicity study, this classes the substances as
“Highly Toxic” (T+). This change in classification is due to the skin tox data of Eastman Kodak (25 to 50 mg/kg)
◆ In the absence of data on the product itself, the conventional method as per Dir 1999/45/EC, the so called preparations directive needs to be applied and it specifies that a preparation containing a “Highly Toxic” substance (T+) in concentrations between 1-7% be classified as toxic.
◆ The contradiction we have is that the classification criteria is on rats or rabbits, whereas our data (Eastman Kodak) was done on guinea pigs.
◆ It is known that guinea pigs are often more sensitive than rats or rabbits and consequently the classification in question could be overstated.
