• How fast does it work?
• What are the precautions, warnings or health hazards
• What are the storage, handling and disposal requirements

The safety of your clients and your own personal health starts with you!

SDSs provide more detailed hazard information about the product than the label (see manufacturer’s web site). Download the SDS of the product you are currently using and compare.
