Key takeaways
- Safety Data Sheet (SDS): Submit a request for each new package size.
- Contents: 16 sections on the product's properties and hazards, including its flash point and boiling point.
- Uses: Choose a container that is compatible with the product and organize the packaging process.
- Safety: Provide protective equipment for operators and establish procedures in case of an accidental spill.
Appropriate packaging requires complete control of the physical and chemical properties of the product to be packaged. This first step is crucial for the respect of safety standards and the protection of the environment. We need to know the possible reactions of the product entrusted to us and the possible associated risks: it is a question of handling it with the required precautions and transferring it into a suitable container. We therefore ask our customers to provide an MSDS for each new packaging. This document determines the process to follow for a result in adequacy with the nature of your production. Here are the details of what constitutes an MSDS and triggers a feasibility study of the project. The importance of this technical information in the choice of a type of packaging then takes all its meaning.
Packaging adapted to the product, our quality commitment
An SDS is defined as a document used to convey safety data regarding the properties of the chemicals to be handled. The English term for an SDS is MSDS, which stands for Material Safety Data Sheet. This type of document includes 16 key points and ensures compliance with regulations and legal obligations. We need to determine the hazard level of the liquid to be transferred from tanks into drums or bottles. We examine the flash point and boiling point values determined for adhesives, solvents, or paints. This data is used to organize the automation of the packaging process but, above all, to select containers compatible with the product’s chemical composition. Aluminum tubes, for example, are perfectly suited for storing solvent-based products.
Precise product referencing for optimal security
The required safety data ensures a process without any effects on the health of our employees. The tightness of the cartridges is one of our priorities. Storage and disposal of the starting containers sometimes require special precautions. We need to assess the emergency measures to be taken in case of accidental spillage. This document also allows us to foresee the necessary protective equipment at each step of the handling of the substance to be repackaged in small or medium series. Referencing the product according to its category is essential for the proper functioning of the packaging. The anticipation of the type of emergency aid to be put in place as soon as possible thanks to our data bank is crucial. Each employee has direct access to the database for his or her own personal safety and that of the team.
At Etraves, the SDS is our basis for meeting your expectations as well as safety and environmental requirements. We pay particular attention to the health of our employees and to the quality of our service. The SDS guarantees you a product that meets the standards for distribution.
