Safety Data Sheets, Section 9

Section 9 is titled "Physical and Chemical Properties." It describes the physical and chemical properties associated with the chemical substance or mixture.

This section includes the following information about the chemical:

• Appearance (for example, the physical state or color)
• Upper and lower flammability or explosive limits
• Odor
• Vapor pressure
• Odor threshold
• Vapor density
• pH
• Relative density
• Melting point/freezing point
• Solubility
• Initial boiling point and boiling range
• Flash point
• Evaporation rate
• Flammability (solid, gas)
• Partition coefficient: n-octanol/water
• Auto-ignition temperature
• Decomposition temperature
• Viscosity

This information might not always be available (or relevant) to all chemicals. Therefore, some SDSs might not include all the above-mentioned details. If this is the case, it is noted in the SDS.
