Dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 is potentially dangerous. Avoid

repeated and prolonged breathing of vapors and skin contact

with the liquid. Do not use near open flame, arcing equipment

or other ignition sources. Always wear eye protection and

protective clothing. The flash point of P-D-680 is 100 to 138

deg. F (38 to 59 deg. C).
