Chemical Safety Data Sheet SD-43, Properties and Essential Information for Safe Handling and Use of Acetaldehyde Manufacturiug Chemists Association, Inc., Washington, D.C., 1952. 

Tables 16 and 17 Hst tke analytical test methods for different properties of interest. The Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc. (MCA) has pubUshed the Chemical Safety Data Sheet SD 63, which describes in detail procedures for safe handling of use of toluene (46). The Interstate Commerce Commission classifies toluene as a flammable Hquid. Accordingly, it must be packaged in authorized containers, and shipping must comply with ICC regulations. Properties related to safe handling are autoignition temperature, 536°C explosive limits, 1.27—7.0 vol % in air and flash point 4.4°C, closed cup.

Some of the other activities of trade and allied associations, as, for example, the issuance of commodity specifications, the preparation of chemical safety data sheets, and the publication of journals that contain reports of original research investigations, may provide a valuable source of data within the context of specific problems.

The most important manuals of safety for chemicals are the Chemical Safety Data Sheets, compiled by the Manufacturing Chemists Association. Chemical Safety Data Sheets discuss the safe handling of most hazardous chemicals drawings, tables of data, and graphs are given to aid the reader in understanding the material presented.

Add the dye and water to the reaction vessel and stir in the Fuller s Earth and Sawdust for one hour. Add the remainder of the ingredients and continuously stir for 2h. Store in polyethylene-lined containers. The ethanol is a solvent and urethane reactant, triethanolamine is a catalyst and ammonia neutralizes both liquid and vapour of isocyanates the water and Fuller s Earth reduces flammability to a safe level.

Electrical installations in Class I hazardous locations as defined in Article 500 of the National Electrical Code, should be installed according to Article 501 of the code and electrical equipment should be suitable for use in atmospheres containing MC vapors. See Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code (NFPA No. 325M), Chemical Safety Data Sheet SD-86 (Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc.).

Reactive Chemicals Exposure. The ha2ards associated with exposure to reactive chemicals vary with the chemicals produced. The multitude of chemicals produced electrochemically precludes a detailed discussion of these ha2ards. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available from suppHers. Anyone contemplating the production of a chemical must become thoroughly familiar with all safety, health, and environmental aspects of such production. 

Go to the Web and develop a list of suppliers along with unit costs for some of the various types of flocculants described in this chapter. Also obtain the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for these chemicals. Once you have collected the information, develop a relative ranking of unit cost and health risk associated with each. For question 2 you will need information of recommended doses. 

This book is not about scaring people. So much of the information out there about additives or chemicals in common products is written to alarm people into changing their behavior in ways that potentially enrich the writer. They point to the MSDS for a compound—the Material Safety Data Sheets—that list all the dire consequences and safety precautions associated with a compound.
