Material safety data sheets components

Human and environmental welfare for lubricants and their use is addressed in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). These MSDS address toxicology and health concerns based on the components in the lubricant as well as indicating the proper response in case of a spik. Environmental ha2ards of the lubricant are covered on European and Japanese MSDS as shown in Table 5. 

Health and Safety Factors. The Material Safety Data Sheets provided by the suppUers should be consulted for each product. In general, products are aqueous emulsions with low levels of toxicity. Products with high solvent content have mostly been eliminated. Personnel handling the chemicals should always avoid contact of the products with skin and eyes, and avoid exposure to vapors if the product contains volatile components. 

Examining Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for chemical components and chemical hazards in product formulations is far less than ideal, but pragmatic. The Occupational... 

Organophosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluids. The physical and chemical property information available for the organophosphate ester hydraulic fluid products and components is presented in Tables 3 A, 3-5, 3-8, and 3-9. Much of this information was abstracted from trade literature or data taken from material safety data sheets. While there is information on many of the major component chemicals in the hydraulic fluid products, there can still be major data uncertainties for products that involve mixtures of different components. While current manufacturing practices aim to minimize or eliminate the presence of such worrisome components as th-ortho-cresyl phosphate, there remain major uncertainties about the composition and properties of older products, which would be more commonly encountered as site contaminants at NPL sites. Additional information on physical and chemical properties for organophosphate ester hydraulic fluid products is, therefore, an important data need. 

All employers are required to develop, implement, and maintain at the workplace a written hazard communication program. The program must include the following components (1) a list of hazardous chemicals in the workplace, (2) the methods the employer will use to inform employees of the hazards associated with these chemicals, and (3) a description of how the labeling, material safety data sheet (MSDS), and employee training requirements will be met. 

Read and analyze the following excerpt from a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for barbecue lighting fluid. Comment on as many of the five essential writing components as you can audience and purpose, organization, writing conventions, grammar and mechanics, and science content. 

Terpene chemists use trivial names for most of the compounds because the systematic names are much more complex. Common or trivial names, CAS Registry Numbers, and properties of selected terpenes and terpenoids are listed in Tables 2 and 3. Compounds that exhibit chirality also have other Registry Numbers for specific optical isomers. For commercial products, a material safety data sheet (MSDS), which is required by OSHA, frequendy lists multiple names such as a product name, trivial name, IUPAC name and the TSCA name. The MSDS is a good source of information about physical properties, potential health hazards, and other useful information for the safe handling of the materials. When the product is a mixture, the components and their amounts are usually listed along with their Registry Numbers. 

The Safety Section of the SOP is the most vital component, since it deals with the education and protection of those who will run the process. However, it covers more than the dangers addressed in the hazard evaluation phase. It requires the creation of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for all the chemicals needed in operating the process. It provides overall guidance on the safe operation of the process and identifies what protective gear to wear and what precautions are needed in the operation. These efforts are also inextricably linked with what needs to be done regarding process emissions and wastes. 

Because different material components in epoxy adhesives have different properties and characteristics when it comes to health and safety, one should always try to find out what chemicals are in the products being used. This can be done by consulting the specific manufacturer s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). 

An estimate of the toxicity or intrinsic hazard is needed for each material identified in the inventory. Such information for many chemicals in the form of a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) are required by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. (Other countries have similar requirements.) Standard hazard-data sources may need to be consulted for those chemical compounds for which no MSDSs are presently available. Adequate hazard data may be lacking for various mixtures that are unique to the plant. For such mixtures, it may be necessary to analyze the contents and then estimate the overall hazard based on the individual components. 

Many of the dusts and vapors from the explosives and components are very toxic. Always have good ventilation in the work area. At the absolute least you should always wear a dust mask. If you plan to work with these materials for any length of time, get and read the "Material Safety Data Sheet" for that material. 

Prior to the processing of any lithium battery for recycling, the battery s material safety data sheet should be reviewed, and, if necessary, a complete analysis should be performed to determine the waste products. Components and chemicals are unique to each manufacturer and not each type of lithium battery. Many are similar but none are identical. Compoimds that can cause serious concern if overlooked include chrome, arsenic, fluorine, mercury, organic solvents, asbestos, lithium, and others. At the end of this chapter are two typical battery analyses performed by Toxco Inc., exemplifying the... 

Today, all purchased chemicals should come with materials safety data sheets (MSDS). The MSDS provides known toxicity data, known reactivity data and handling information when available. The MSDS literature should be reviewed fully and understood before interacting with any of the materials or byproducts utilized with MOCVD systems or components. All system and subcomponent manuals should be read and understood before systems operation or maintenance.

It is almost too obvious to state that companies should be aware of chemical substances that they manufacture or import, but in fact this is often not the case, and is where a compliance problem arises. The regulatory requirements are typically published by chemical name and Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Number, whereas in many companies trade names are more commonly used when tracking chemicals. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) system most often is the easiest place to determine whether a product or an isolated intermediate contains a component that is subject to regulation. With respect to imports, they should be cleared by a regulatory review prior to importation not only for general TSCA compliance, but also to ascertain whether or not there are any TSCA reporting requirements under TSCA... 

Adhesives consist of a number of components as described in Chapter 6, usually containing reactive chemicals. Adequate precautions must be taken when working with adhesives to prevent harmful exposure. Adhesive manufacturers are required by law to provide a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for each product that they sell. The MSDS must contain sufficient details about the composition, hazard rating, first aid measures, handling and storage, personal protection (exposure control), stability and reactivity, and toxicology of adhesives. 

Material safety data sheets can, like product declarations, be accessible immediately, provided that they are available and that the user is able to read and understand chemical names. The value of the data is also restricted to the information which the manufacturer, importer or supplier has to or is willing to provide, and again, information on components less than 1% is needed. Material safety data sheets make it possible to include additional information on safe use and precautions in case of accidents. The practical use is dependent on the local management and administration of a workplace system ensuring easy access to the relevant material safety data sheets. 

The number of products with different compositions of developer, fixer and other components is tremendous. The main producers of photographic chemicals and chemical products are Kodak, Fuji and Agfa Gevaert. Information on the composition of many products is now easily available in the material safety data sheets (MSDS) produced by Kodak and published on the Internet at www.kodak.com. 

One of the components of Right-to-Know Laws is that employees and students have access to information about the hazards of any chemicals with which they are working. Your instructor will alert you to dangers to which you need to pay particular attention. However, you may want to seek additional information. Two excellent sources of information are labels on the bottles that come from a chemical manufacturer and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). The MSDSs are also provided by the manufacturer and must be kept available for all chemicals used at educational institutions. 

The nomenclature for carboxylic acids follows the familiar pattern of adding the functional group name -oic acid to the named hydrocarbon chain except that the common names formic acid and acetic acid are still widely accepted. Thus, formic acid is methanoic acid, acetic acid is ethanoic acid, propionic acid is propanoic acid, and -butyric acid is butanoic acid. The CAS numbers (Chemical Abstract Service, American Chemical Society) for the carboxylic acids are listed in Table 6.1 along with the physical properties. The CAS numbers refer to the major carboxylic acid component. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for CAS numbers of any minor impurities in the solvent.
