What is a MSDS and where can you get it?

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)), revised in 2012, requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards.

How do I get MSDS for my product?

Go on the website of the manufacturer of the product. Once you are on the manufacturer’s website, see if they have a section where they make their MSDSs/SDSs available to the public. You can then search through their MSDSs/SDSs and locate the one for your product.

Is an MSDS required for shipping?

A: The SDS (MSDS) is NOT a shipping document. It is not required by any government agency or IATA as a shipping document. The primary purpose is that it MAY BE used in the shipping process to provide written emergency response information (required by the US DOT in case of fires, spills/leaks, first aid, etc.).

How often do MSDS sheets need to be updated?

every 3 years
A Safety Data Sheet shall be reviewed at least every 3 years. Records of SDS updates such as content, date, and version revision, shall be kept for 3 years.

What is the composition of the pbxn-109 polymer?

The polymer bonded explosive PBXN-109 has a composition of 65% RDX, 21% aluminum, and 14% HTPB binder plasticized with DOA. For materials with a low pressure dependence of high-pressure deflagration, such as PBXN-109, the reaction rate is accelerated at a relatively low rate. This leads to relatively low violence of thermal explosions.

What are the ingredients in pbxn-109 HTPB explosive?

PBXN-109, a typical HTPB explosive, contains 20 wt. % Aluminum, 64 wt. % RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane), and 16 wt. % binder system containing HTPB, DOA (dioctyladipate), and IPDI (isophorone diisocyanate). The binder system may also contain a plasticizer to aid processing.

Where to buy global data sheet explosive pbxn-9?

What makes pbxn-9 a low boiling point explosive?

PBXN-9 explosive consists of a mixture of HMX powder bound with a DiisooctylAdipate (DOA) low boiling point plasticizer and a carbonyl-terminated polybutadiene (HYTEMP 4454) polyacrylate elastomer binder. The elasticity of the matrix lowers sensitivity of the bulk material to shock and friction. It comes in the form of white granular powder.
