The industry produces a diverse range of products, including polymers, solvents, detergents, fertilizers, paints, coatings, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibres, plastics, and various specialty chemicals used in different sectors.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically intermingled, but each retains its own individual properties and can be separated by physical means.

Chemicals are classified based on their intrinsic properties, such as physical hazards (e.g., flammability, explosiveness), health hazards (e.g., acute toxicity, carcinogenicity), and environmental hazards (e.g., aquatic toxicity, ozone depletion).

Purity refers to the absence of impurities in a substance, while concentration refers to the amount of the desired substance present in a mixture or solution. Purity is a measure of quality, while concentration is a measure of quantity.

A pure substance is a material that consists of only one type of element or compound. It has a consistent and uniform composition throughout.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide comprehensive information about the hazards, safe handling, storage, and emergency response procedures for chemicals. SDS enable users to access detailed information regarding the safe use and management of hazardous substances.

Toxicity is often measured by determining the lethal dose (LD50) or lethal concentration (LC50), which represents the dose or concentration required to cause death in 50% of the exposed population. Toxicity can also be expressed through other measures, such as the effective concentration (EC50) or effective dose (ED50) for specific toxic effects.

A CAS number is a unique numerical identifier assigned by the Chemicals Abstracts Service to each chemical substance. It provides a standardized way to identify and track specific substances.

A CAS number consists of three parts: a two- to seven-digit number called the "CAS registry number," a hyphen, and two additional digits known as the "check digit." The total number of digits in a CAS number is typically 10, with the format XXXXXXX-XX-X.

Toxicity refers to the ability of a substance to cause harm or adverse effects to living organisms, including humans, animals, and the environment, when exposed to certain concentrations or doses.

Toxic substances can enter the body through various routes of exposure, including inhalation (breathing in), dermal (skin contact), ingestion (swallowing), and ocular (eye contact). The route of exposure can influence the potential toxicity and the organs or systems affected.

No, each CAS number is assigned to a specific chemical substance and is unique to that substance. Different substances will have different CAS numbers, even if they have similar names or structures

Hazard communication is the process of conveying information about hazards associated with chemicals, products, or processes. It involves labelling, safety data sheets (SDS), warning signs, and other means to inform and educate individuals about the potential hazards and necessary precautions.

The main purpose of HS codes is to provide a universal system for classifying and identifying traded products. HS codes facilitate customs clearance, international trade documentation, tariff determination, statistical analysis, and regulatory compliance.

The first two digits represent the chapters in the HS system, broadly classifying products into different categories based on their nature or use, the next two digits indicate the heading then subheadings, offering a more detailed categorization within each heading.

A hazard refers to a potential source of harm or danger that has the potential to cause injury, illness, damage to property, or harm to the environment.

HS code is a standardized numerical classification system used to classify products traded internationally and is widely adopted globally.
