1. What does GHS mean What does SDS mean
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, or GHS. Following the implementation of the GHS system, there is another important change in MSDS, MSDS has been renamed SDS. However, the removal of M raises a number of problems. In fact, SDS is MSDS, and the two are the same.
The full name of SDS is Safety Data Sheet, according to the definition in GB T 17519-2013, the Chinese name should be accurate, it should be called: Chemical Safety Data Sheet. Of course, there are also some names, such as chemical safety data sheets, material safety data sheets, safety data sheets, etc. These are all similar, but from a professional point of view, it is recommended to call them according to the name of the standard: Chemical Safety Data Sheet.
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) should provide complete information about the substance or mixture to be used in the chemical control management framework in the workplace. Employers and workers alike use it as a source of information about hazards, including environmental hazards, and get advice on safety precautions.
The information in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a reference source for the management of hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Safety Data Sheets are linked to products and generally do not provide specific information about any particular workplace in which the product may end up, but may also be more workplace-specific if the product has a dedicated end use.
IIBarium metal MSDS preparationwithSDS for dangerous goods under GHS classification
Basic information] Chinese name: barium; Barium metal.
English name: barium
CAS Number: 7440-39-3
Molecular Formula: BA
Physical and chemical properties: Barium is a silvery-white metal with a melting point of 725 °C, a boiling point of 1600 °C, and a density of 351 grams cubic centimeter, malleable. The main ores of barium are barite and poison barite. Due to its very reactive chemical properties, barium has never been found in nature. The most common minerals of barium in nature are barite (barium sulfate) and barite (barium carbonate), both of which are insoluble in water.
Main uses] widely used in alloys, including lead, calcium, magnesium, sodium, lithium, aluminum and nickel alloys. Barium metal can be used as a degassing agent to remove trace gases from vacuum tubes and picture tubes, and as a degassing agent for refining metals.
Soluble barium compounds are often used as pesticides, such as barium chloride, to control a variety of plant pests. It can also be used for refining brine and boiler water for caustic soda production. It is also used in the preparation of pigments. It is used as a mordant and rayon matting agent in the textile industry and leather industry.
Main hazards] Barium is not an essential element for humans, it is a toxic element, and ingestion of soluble barium compounds can cause barium poisoning.
