Concept explainers
Interpretation:
For same basic material, the value of CAS with the help of MSD's should be determined. Also, the comparison of high melt index polyethylene with low melt index polyethylene should be explained.
The comparison between green and red polyethylene should be estimated on the basis of CAS number.
Concept Introduction:
CAS (Chemical Abstract Services) is a unique numerical identification given to every chemical substance which includes organic, inorganic compounds, minerals, isotopes, alloys, and nonstructural materials.
CAS is a numeric identifier containing up to 10 digits. It is used to distinguish between sterio isomers of a compound.
Material safety data sheet (MSD's) is the detailed technical explanation of products. It contains the following components:
- Purchase of any hazardous material.
- Includes the meaning of hazardous materials.
