Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

All chemicals can be hazardous if mishandled or misused. However, in our opinion, those in boldface because of their corrosive and/or toxic nature present a higher risk of injury during routine handling and use than the others listed. Items listed as "non-hazardous" present no special hazards except to those with special sensitivities, but should not be ingested, inhaled, or allowed to contact the skin or eyes.
