MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) Information
Information on chemicals is ordered alphabetically in the
directories below (contents approximately 28,645 names, though
the number of distinct substances is smaller because of the
inclusion of many synonyms). The web pages are not reproductions
of 16-point data sheets, but contain key safety information for
each chemical. If you intend to use the chemical, we suggest
that you obtain MSDS data from your supplier to supplement the
data given here, before starting work.
First check the appropriate directory below. If you can't

Risk and Safety Phrases
Most MSDS sheets now contain codes such as R23 or R45 which correspond
to certain "risk phrases", and S17 or S24, which correspond to certain
"safety phrases". Meanings of these
risk phrases
as used in the EU are given here, and meanings of the
safety
phrases are given here.
Shock-sensitive Materials
