msds

[eric 14]

I am buying a butyl based detergent and minxing w/ chlorine or liquid pool shock. What should I look for in the msds for this detergent? How can I tell what is caustic/ hazardous?

thanks

Read the whole MSDS sheet, all pages and it will tell you everything and more.

Ok now that you have read it fast this first time go back and really read it, very slowly so you understand it all.

This is not a funny matter, people have died not handling chemicals correctly or mixing wrong ones together.

One other thing, be sure you have proper clothesing before using. Face mask, rubber gloves, long sleeve shirt and whatever else you might need.

All chemicals listed on the MSDS are normally hazardous - some are more than others (some may cause cancer, while some chemicals are fatal if absorbed thru the skin).

Do a search on the internet for each chemical listed on the MSDS.

You should be able to find a wealth of information including hazzards and

safety precautions.

Keep searching the internet - as I said, there is a wealth of information which will help you learning some chemistry.
