Excellent: The substance should have a long, useful life under varied
storage conditions.
Good: If stored under reasonable conditions of temperature and humidity
(25 °C at 50% or less relative humidity), the sub stance should have a long,
useful life.
Fair: If stored under reasonable conditions, the product’s useful life may
be three years or fewer.
Poor: Substance does not store well under reasonable conditions.
Indefinite: A term used frequently to communicate that the substance
has no fixed or definable life expectancy.
Deliquescent: Substances that tend to absorb atmo spheric water and
become liquids.
Efflorescent: Combined water molecules lost by hydrates when exposed
to air, which can possibly result in partial decomposition.
Hygroscopic: A substance that absorbs moisture from the air.
Soluble:
The extent to which a substance would lose its form and become
molecularly or ionically dispersed in a solvent to become a solution.
Limited space prevents us from listing every possible solvent.
Color and Odor:
Meaningful terminology is used to characterize color and odor. This
information is provided as a chemical identity tool. For a complete chart of
chemical color/odor identification and mystery substance identification
procedures, please contact us.
CAS Number:
CAS means Chemical Abstract Service. Think of this number as an
identification number—unique to each sub stance. A more detailed
explanation of CAS numbers is found on page 25 of this catalog.
Safety Purchase Suggestion:
If, in our opinion, you should exercise special caution in acquiring a
substance, we alert you to that need.
