The Clorox Company is pleased to assist U.S. businesses and workers
with product information to support a safe and healthful work environment.
We provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for our products as guidance
for businesses and workplaces
because our products and/or their components may be used at a greater
frequency or duration in such environments than when used in the home.
The MSDS is designed to provide workers and emergency personnel with
the proper procedures for handling or working with our products. An MSDS
provides information about a product’s physical data such as flash
point, appearance, and health effects. The sheets describe
how the products should be stored and disposed of. Spill clean-up
procedures, first aid procedures, transportation requirements and other
precautionary information are also addressed.
Consumers accessing our MSDS information should note that the information
is presented to address handling of our products in occupational environments
in accordance with requirements of the U.S. Government's Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA). These MSDS are not applicable
to consumer use of our products. We thoroughly evaluate the safety
aspects of all of our consumer products prior to their use in the home
and provide all necessary, appropriate and applicable safety information
(including use precautions, health effects and first aid procedures)on product
labels.
During WWII, when raw materials were short supply, Clorox
— unlike many competitors — curtailed production rather than
dilute its product. The consequent cuts proved costly in the short run.
But Clorox emerged from the war with a reservoir of good will and high
public regard for the consistent quality of its bleach.
