What kind of safety precautions should I take when working with OSMO Polyx-Oil?
The most toxic component of OSMO Polyx-Oil is its solvent. The solvent used is dis-aromatized mineral spirits, from which the benzene has been extracted, making it a very low-toxic version of ordinary mineral spirits. Most people are able to use the Polyx-Oil without any problems with its toxicity, but we always recommend self-testing for chemical sensitivity. For maximum protection, use nitrile gloves and a respirator with a NIOSH-approved organic vapor cartridge.
