SAFETY:
Care should be used when handling NMP. Skin contact should be avoided. Contact can result in irritation; prolonged contact can result in redness and dermatitis. Butylrubber or FEP Teflon gloves are recommended when handling NMP. A good skincream should be used after washing the affected area. As with all solvents, the workplace should be well ventilated and safety goggles must be worn.
STORAGE & HANDLING:
