- Description
- Sax's is the primary source of information covering the evaluation of the hazardous potential of
substances used in commerce. It is the only reference work that provides information about so
many materials with regard to toxicology, flammability, reactivity, explosive potential, and
regulatory information.
This resource has expanded over the years and now covers some 26,000 substances, including 2,600
new entries in the current edition. All entries are periodically reviewed and updated as needed
to reflect the latest information. In addition, Sax's now contains "Immediately Dangerous
Life
or Health" (IDHL) levels for approximately 1,000 chemicals. It also covers
exposure-level
classifications for a number of regulatory agencies, including OSHA and the U.S. Dept. of
Transportation.
Each entry includes the following data (where available):
- DPIM code (Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials)
- Hazard rating
- Entry name
- CAS registry number (Chemical Abstracts Service. The CAS registry
number is a unique numeric code assigned to each chemical substance as
an unambiguous identifier.)
- DOT number (U.S. Department of Transportation)
- Molecular formula
- Line structural formula
- Description of each material including physical properties and chemical name synonyms
- Toxicology data with references to reports of primary skin and eye
irritation plus mutation, reproductive, carcinogenic, and acute toxic
dose data.
