Flux pen toxicity and Conductivity

[128ITSH]

Hello,
Recently I started doing some SMD soldering, so I bought a CW8100 No clean flux pen.
The thing came with lots of warning about the affects it has. All are in this MSDS.
For more background i'll say that I solder in my bedroom, while my door and a 1meterx1meter window are open, and the soldering station is 1 meter from the window, with a 12V DC fan sucking the fumes to the direction of the window (not necessarily making them go out of the room, just away from me).
I would be happy if someone who knows about would check the MSDS and tell me what I should and should not do. I am able to set up a more advanced air cleaning system if that is needed.

My other question is weather should I clean this flux after use in some way? Is it conductive? what about high voltage (230V AC mains)?

Don't forget that MSDS are almost always going to overexaggerate risk, for reasons of legal liability. You can look up the ingredients separately and assess for yourself:

- propan-2-ol: this is regular isopropyl alcohol, biggest concern is flammability.
- adipic acid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipic_acid mildly toxic and irritating, like any acid (but has a higher LD50 than sodium chloride)
- dimethyl glutarate: https://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/13eda1a8-4f68-4b6e-8559-9bb66c1018bc shows that it is relatively safe
- rosin: you should know what this is

I can conclude from this that I should just use gloves and have proper ventilation. I'm wearing glasses normally so I don't need extra eye protection (or do I?).
