Precautionary measures

When working with Abro products, standard precautions should be observed:

1. Before using the sealant, study its characteristics to make sure that it is suitable for this type of repair, and read the instructions for use.
2. Work in a ventilated area, as products containing acetic acid or antifungal additives may emit toxic fumes when not cured.
3. Use personal protective equipment - gloves and a mask (or goggles).
4. Do not carry out repairs using sealants in hot weather or near heating devices. The fact is that some compositions are capable of releasing toxic fumes when exposed to high temperatures, but only before they dry. They are safe when hardened.
5. If the sealant gets into the eyes or exposed areas of the body, immediately remove the composition with a clean, dry cloth and rinse the mucous membrane or skin with running water. If the product causes redness or other reaction, seek medical attention.
6. When working with sealant, keep children and pets away from the room.
7. Upon completion of the repair, close the tube tightly and thoroughly ventilate the room for at least 1 hour.

The packaging with the sealing agent should be stored in a dry place, inaccessible to children and animals, away from direct sunlight.
