Printing an MSDS generates a printer-friendly version of a product MSDS. This printout includes a cover page showing the product's common name and manufacturer, the MSDS's revision date, and any additional product data you select, such as its primary CAS number, synonyms, and location assignments.
The MSDS printout can be generated in one of the following formats:
HTML: Generates the printout directly in your browser. The MSDS text is included in the printout only if the MSDS file is of the TXT format.
PDF: Generates the printout in a PDF-viewing tool (such as Adobe Reader), which must be installed on your workstation. The MSDS text is included in the printout only if the MSDS file is of the TXT or PDF format.
Once the printout is generated, you can print it using the appropriate tool.
