WHAT IS SAFETY DATA SHEET (SDS)

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) which is earlier called as Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) is a document that contains all information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and environmental) and how to work safely with the chemical product.  It also contains information on the use, storage, handling and emergency procedures all related to the hazards of the chemical. The SDS contains much more information about the chemical than the label.
