  The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
  The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.

  Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance. Chemical	Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture.  CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org We have assigned "ID numbers" (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x , 888888-xx-x) or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.  CAS No./ID	Percent of chemical in preparation. % Conc.

   UN Global Harmonization Classification

  Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:

  • Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
  • Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
  • Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
  • Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)

  Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  Precautionary Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
  Precautionary Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  Precautionary Code

  Pictogram

  SVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
  1.  Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
  2.  Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
  3.  Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS:
      Emergency Overview
      Exposure to dust may be irritating to eyes, nose, and throat. Grinding, sawing or fabrication activities can produce dust particles which may under certain conditions form explosive dust atmospheres that can be ignited. To prevent ignition, avoid smoking, keep from open flames and high temperatures.
      Potential Health Effects
      Inhalation: Dusts produced by cutting or drilling of this product may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Higher exposures may cause difficulty breathing, congestion and chest tightness.
      Skin Contact: Dusts may cause mechanical irritation.
      Eye Contact: Dust produced from cutting or drilling of this product may cause slight irritation to the eyes.
      Ingestion: Ingestion of this product is unlikely. However, ingestion of product may produce gastrointestinal irritation and disturbances.
      Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Chronic respiratory or skin conditions may temporarily worsen from exposure to this product.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS:
      There are no known chronic health effects connected with long term use or contact with these products.

    • Carcinogenicity

      ACGIH, IARC, OSHA, and NTP carcinogen lists have been checked for those components with CAS registry numbers. Polystyrene (9003-53-6) IARC: Supplement 7, 1987; Monograph 19, 1979 (Group 3-not classifiable) Talc (14807-96-6 IARC: Supplement 7, 1987; Monograph 19, 1979 (Group 3-not classifiable) Talc was tested by the National Toxicology Program in both rats and mice. No evidence of carcinogenicity was found in either male or female mice, while some evidence of carcinogenicity was reported in male rats due to an increase in tumors of the adrenal gland and clear evidence of carcinogenicity was reported in female rats based on an increase in lung and adrenal gland tumors.

    • Handling information

      Avoid inhaling dusts or vapors. Avoid eye and excessive skin contact. Use only with adequate ventilation. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handling this material. Special care must be taken to avoid buildup of dusts.
      Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight.
      Ecotoxicity: No data available for this product. This material is not expected to cause harm to animals, plants or fish.

    • Disposal information

      Dispose of waste material according to Local, State, Federal, and Provincial Environmental Regulations.

    • First Aid

      Inhalation: If dust from cutting or drilling is inhaled, immediately remove the affected person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
      Skin Contact: For skin contact, wash with mild soap and running water. If irritation persists get medical attention.
      Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get medical attention.
