- Form - a brief description of the substance's appearance.
- NFPA code - a three-digit code representing health, flammability and reactivity hazards associated with the substance as issued by the National Fire Protection Association.
- Vapor pressure - a relative ranking of how much vapor will be given off at room temperature.
- Water solubility - an indication of how soluble the substance is in water.
- PPE (Proper Protective Equipment) - a listing of the level of protection recommended for a moderate-size spill.
- Incompatibilities - a listing of those classes of chemical compounds that may react with the listed substance.
- Spill - recommended procedures for cleaning up spills.
- Decon - recommended procedures to decontaminate spill areas.
- Fire - recommended fire fighting agents and methods.
- First Aid - health issues important to first responders.
