Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a detailed fact sheet summarizing information about a chemical's hazardous ingredients; health, physical and fire hazards; emergency procedures; and first aid; chemical reactivity and incompatibilities; spill, leak and disposal procedures; and protective measures required for safe handling and storage. The objective of an MSDS is to concisely inform you about the hazards of the materials you work with so that you can protect yourself and respond to emergencies.
