Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties

This section identifies physical and chemical properties associated with the substance or mixture. The minimum required information consists of:

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

The SDS may not contain every item on the above list because information may not be relevant or is not available. When this occurs, a notation to that effect must be made for that chemical property.
