Safety & Health
- Toxicity
Tests conducted through independent laboratories have found Brilliant Group BGP Series Fluorescent Pigments to be “essentially non-toxic.” A summary of the test data is listed on the MSDS, which is available upon request. Good industrial hygiene and handling methods are essential in the use of all products whether or not they are determined to be hazardous.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
When stored in a cool, dry environment, BGP pigments have an indefinite shell life. Colorant containers should be kept closed to minimize contamination.
