Have product identifiers ready, such as product name, product code, etc. Most importantly, try to locate the name of the manufacturer. Either you purchased the product directly from the manufacturer, or from a distributor.
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.Advertisement
If you purchased the product from a distributor, and you did not find the SDS on the manufacturer’s website, go on the distributor’s website to see if they make MSDSs/SDSs available for the products that they carry and sell.
If you still have not found the SDS of the product, go to specialized websites that store SDSs and allow you to search and download a certain number of SDSs for free.
Contact the manufacturer or distributor of the product directly and request the SDS if you still have not found it. Note that you can also do this after step 2 or step 3.- If you anticipate a situation where you will frequently need to search for SDSs of various products, you should seriously consider subscribing to a service offered by some vendors where SDSs are sourced for you, and accessed through an online SDS management system.
