USACHPPM s TG 218. Detailed and General Facts About Chemical Agents. The facts sheets contained in this Technical Guide are intended to provide summary information on 24 chemical warfare materials related to Chemical Stockpile and Non-Stockpile activities. In essence, they are a brief abstract of data contained in Material Safety Data Sheets and other technical references relevant to these substances. 

Material safety data sheets or other similar materials (such as technical data sheets) for the substance or resulting end product (include copies of this information as it appears when accompanying the substance and/or product at the time of transfer or sale) ... 

Because other sections of this Handbook deal more specifically with cleanup methods, policies, and detailed spill procedures, this section only emphasizes some key points related to adsorption cleanup. The safety, health, and environment department must prepare formal written procedures for all types of chemical spillage. The specification of sorbent type must be based on an expert analysis of the MSDS (material safety data sheet) for every chemical onsite. The manufacturers technical data or MSD sheets provide information for the site-specific safety plan, such as flash point, ignition temperature, solubility, toxicology, density, reactivity, and chemical compatibility. The written procedures must cover all chemicals on site and all possible spill scenarios, particularly What is the worst incident that could happen Prevention techniques must obviously be in place and emergency plan procedures carefully prepared and practiced. 

THE INFORMATION PUBLISHED IN THIS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET HAS BEEN COMPILED FROM OUR EXPERIENCE AND DATA PRESENTED IN VARIOUS TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS. IT IS THE USER S RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE THE SUITABILITY OF THIS INFORMATION FOR THE ADOPTION OF NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REVISE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS PERIODICALLY AS NEW INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. 

All suppliers have websites that contain productline information, data sheets, material safety data sheets, and technical information. 

Material safety data sheets. The MSDS is essentially a technical bulletin detailing information about the hazardous chemical. The MSDS must be readily accessible to employees of companies which manufacture or use the hazardous chemical. 

Adhesive manufacturers are required to provide information on the shelf life and storage conditions in the product technical data sheet, as well as a description of the possible hazards in the safety data sheet (Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS), e.g., in the event of a fire. 

Other suppliers of adhesion promoters exist for the various types of adhesion promoters. All suppliers have websites on which product line lists, data sheets. Material Safety Data Sheets, and technical information are available. Of the various suppliers, the author s intent is not to favor or recommend one supplier over another. 

An MSDS is a technical bulletin (fact sheet) containing detailed information about a hazardous substance. A manufacturer is required to prepare an MSDS for each hazardous substance it sells. OSHA requires manufacturers and distributors to provide a copy of the relevant MSDS when each sample or order of a hazardous substance is shipped by the manufacturer or other carrier to a location for the first time. Employers are required to make Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) available to all employees. MSDSs must be in English, available 24/7, and contain the following information (Meyer 2005) ...
