Chemical Datasheets

Each chemical datasheet includes six categories of information.

Datasheet Category Description
Chemical Identifiers Common identification numbers, the NFPA diamond, DOT hazard labelRequired DOT hazard warning label for the chemical (such as flammable liquid or corrosive)., and a general description of the chemical.
Hazards Hazards and special alerts about the chemical's reactivity and health hazards.
Response Recommendations Recommendations for how to respond to and protect yourself against the chemical.
Physical Properties Properties such as chemical formula, boiling pointTemperature at which a liquid boils and changes to a gas (typically under normal atmospheric pressure). Above its boiling point, a chemical is a gas. The boiling point depends on a chemical's composition and the applied pressure. As pressure increases, the boiling point of a substance also increases., explosive limitsOr flammability limits. The lower explosive limit is the lowest concentration of a vapor in air that catches fire when exposed to a source of ignition. The upper explosive limit is the highest concentration of the vapor in air that catches fire when exposed to a source of ignition. The flash point and explosive limits of a substance are often used as measures of its flammability hazard in a given situation., levels of concern, and more.
Regulatory Information Federal regulations that apply to the chemical and defined threshold quantities.
Alternate Chemical Names Trade names and other synonymsA single chemical may have many names. The synonyms by which a chemical is named can include trade names and other common names..
