Re: Cleaning PCB without Acetone

All of these chemicals are irritants so you should avoid getting them 
in your eyes, on your skin, or inhaled.

ethanol - causes skin and eye irritation.  Ingestion can cause nausea, 
vomitting, and inebriation.  Chronic use can cause sever liver damage.

denatured alcohol - same as ethanal except it can kill you

IAP - harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption.  May act 
as an irritant.

acetone - may be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin 
absorption.  Irritant - liquid may cause permanent eye damage (corneal 
clouding).  Skin contact may cause defatting (always in my case...).  
Also called dimethyl ketone, methyl ketone.

ferric chloride - corrosive - causes burns.  Harmful if swallowed and 
in contact with skin.  Prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis.

Dennis
