Section 14 – Transport information

The MEK DOSING UNIT 1LT is described here as a dosing accessory. Without explicit confirmation whether it is supplied empty or filled with MEK peroxide, no specific transport classification (for example UN number, hazard class or packing group) can be reliably given.

• If supplied empty, it will normally be transported as a non-hazardous accessory, following general packaging and protection rules for plastic or similar equipment (information not verified and dependent on the actual product design).
• If supplied filled with MEK peroxide catalyst, the transport will be subject to the dangerous goods regulations applicable to organic peroxides (ADR/RID, IMDG, IATA, etc.), which require specific classification, packaging and labelling defined in the official safety data sheet of the exact formulation.

Because these details could not be verified for this specific item, always consult the current safety data sheet and applicable transport regulations before shipping or handling the product in logistics chains.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures

As a dosing accessory intended for use with MEK peroxide and polyester systems, the relevant protection measures are mainly dictated by the chemicals handled, not by the dosing unit itself. The following points are general recommendations based on typical MEK peroxide and polyester resin handling and are not specific, verified instructions for this product:

• Eye and face protection: Use safety goggles or a face shield when filling, dosing or cleaning the unit if there is a risk of splashes from MEK peroxide, resins or gelcoats.
• Hand protection: Wear suitable chemical-resistant gloves (for example, gloves rated as resistant to organic peroxides and solvents) when handling MEK peroxide or contaminated equipment.
• Skin and body protection: Use work clothing with long sleeves and, where necessary, an apron or chemical-resistant overalls to avoid skin contact with catalysts, resins and mastics.
• Respiratory protection: When working in areas with insufficient ventilation or where vapour or aerosol may be generated, use appropriate respiratory protection as indicated in the safety data sheet of the MEK peroxide and associated resins or gelcoats.
• Hygiene measures: Avoid eating, drinking or smoking in the work area. Wash hands thoroughly after handling chemicals and before breaks. Keep the dosing unit clean and store it away from ignition sources and incompatible materials, according to the safety data sheets.

These measures are generic for work with MEK peroxide and polyester systems and are not a substitute for the detailed indications in the official safety data sheets of the catalyst and all associated products.
