Birch-Me Usage Instructions and Safety Information:

When handling methyl salicylate, especially in its pure form, it is important to follow standard laboratory safety protocols. This includes the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. It should be used in well-ventilated areas to minimize inhalation exposure. Given its high purity, it is primarily intended for professional use in research, analytical testing, and product formulation.

Methyl salicylate must be handled with care due to its potential toxicity when ingested in large quantities or absorbed through the skin extensively. Therefore, proper storage, handling, and disposal according to safety data sheets (SDS) and regulatory guidelines are essential to ensure safety.
