Under the Responsible Care® Global Charter, Rohm and Haas is committed to sharing relevant information on product risk. Many of the products we make are sold to manufacturers who then use them to produce the final consumer product. Some of our products are only used in manufacturing processes, and in many cases, our products are chemically transformed into different materials before they reach the consumer. Regardless of the product's chemical nature and end-use, we strive to ensure that relevant, easily understood information is available to all interested parties. Our website enables easy search by product name or market application. For each product listed, you will find a thumbnail description, along with the uses, advantages and properties. In addition, Technical Data Sheets, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and other special information on the safe handling, health and safety about the specific product is generally available. For the high production volume chemicals, we have also provided a less detailed product summary. We give priority to those chemical products that are: - Produced in high volume (1000 tons per year or more)
- Intended for ‘critical end-use applications’
- Intended for uses that involve significant environmental exposure
- Have potential high health and/or environmental concerns
