Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a table about data regarding the properties of a particular substance, which may concern instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product. Therefore, MSDS is important and necessary for chemicals users.
The sheet aims to offer workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working in a safe way, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, hardness, ultimate tensile strength, density, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill handling procedures. The exact format for MSDS can vary from countries to countries by respective national requirement.
For example, below is part of the MSDS of tungsten electrode:
