Used to work 5 years in a paint pigment manufacturing company as
the "computer guy". BTW, just about all paints start off as a solid
powdery pigment. MEK, Xylene and just about the nastiest solvents were
used in great volumes at this place. They would send the office staff
(aka ladies) home half day about once a month whenever they were
batching with the nastiest of them all (can't recall which it was).
Most of the workers in the batching area were ex-convicts on parole.
Can recall waking many a night with my heart beating at workout pace
for no apparent reason. The plant foreman died of a heart attack about
a year after I left the company.
Eye protection and a respirator (with correct filter) should always be
used with this stuff, even acetone. The MSDSs are quite similar.
