Safety & Health

Toxicity

Tests conducted through independent laboratories have found Brilliant BMS-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, BMS pigments have an indefinite shelf life. Colorant containers should be kept closed to minimize contamination.
