CHEMICAL DATABASES |
|
There are many free-access chemical databases on the internet. However, I have yet to find one that originates in the UK. There may therefore be some slight spelling differences with the American databases which are linked below. The UN number is an international standard and should always return the same details, although I can not accept any responsibility for errors in any one else's databases. |
|
United States Department of Transport. Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Guide.
This is a very powerful database which will identify chemicals from names or UN numbers and gives material safety data sheets (MSDS) for most of them. |
United States Coast Guard Chemical Hazard Response Information System (CHRIS) Another top quality, free database from the United States |
|
University of Akron, Department of Chemistry. Hazardous Chemicals Database An excellent free database with a lot of information. This database will also identify substances from UN numbers by searching on "UN xxxx" . |
|
Chemfinder Commercial chemical database offering free search.
SIRI MSDS US Material Safety Data Sheets - On-Line Database |
|
US National Library of Medicine - TOXNET. Large, detailed database, again American, free search facility. |
