Chemical Product Safety Information

For all Zeon products, we provide Safety Data Sheet (SDS) that record GHS¹ classification results, product safety performance, and cautions for handling.
For a portion of products, we disclose safety-related information in the form of safety abstracts, which are released on the GPS/JIPS² website (ICCA GPS Chemicals Portal Site).
