MSDS Mckee's 37 High-Intensity APC+????
I was trying to find the MSDS for Mckee's 37 High Intensity APC+ and realized that none of the PBMG brands like Wolfgang, Pinnacle, Blackfire, or Mckee's 37 have MSDS sheets? Other brands like 3D International or even smaller brands like 1z Einezett have MSDS sheets that are easy to find on their specific product websites. Are MSDS sheets not required for all company's that are distributing chemicals? I'm not as concerned about potential adverse reactions from the various soaps, polishes, waxes as I am the All purpose cleaners and Degreasers. I just wish I had a bit more information on these chemicals?

Re: MSDS Mckee's 37 High-Intensity APC+????
That's a very good question and my understanding is yes.
I work for a large maintenance supply distributor, everyone of the chemicals we sell on our website has the "sds" sheets as they are now called. They dropped the msds. They are called safety data sheets.
Also, if you had a large shop and had employees that were using the products all the bottles have to be properly labeled and sds sheets on file and easily accesible. It's called the right to know law. You have the right to know what you are being exposed to.
The Right-to-Know refers to workers' rights to information about chemicals in their workplaces. The federal law that provides these rights is the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). Private-sector employers must provide chemical information to their workers under the OSHA standard.
The Hazard Communication Standard requires employers to disclose toxic and hazardous substances in workplaces. This is related to the Worker Protection Standard.
Specifically, this requires unrestricted employee access to the Material Safety Data Sheet or equivalent, and appropriate training needed to understand health and safety risks.

Crustmsprty, you are exactly right. Any facility with hazardous chemicals must have sds sheets easily accessible for all employees so they know what they are working with and how to handle any associated issues with the chemicals. I happen to be a right-to-know inspector.

And writing apc on a trigger spray bottle is not a properly labeled secondary container.

And for the general population, please remember this goes for even common household-type products used in the workplace, such as toilet bowl cleaner, Lysol counter spray, etc. Don't let the word hazardous scare you. Simply be smart. Eye protection, gloves, closed shoes are always good basic personal protective equipment (PPE) to be wearing as we detail. The labeling and SDS tells you things such as what to do in case of ingestion, or a splash to the eye etc.
MWOYWOD, you can always contact the manufacturer and request those data sheets directly. It sounds like you're taking steps to work safely. Bravo.

@mwoywod:
•Are you an employee of PBMG (or RME)?
•Do you own/operate a bona fide detailing
Business?
-Without meeting at least one of the above
qualifiers...it may be difficult to obtain the
SDS sheets for PBMG's Consumer products.
(Perhaps Mike or Nick can add clarification)
BTW:
There is still legislation wandering around
somewhere in the (USA gov.) pipe-lines to
have every type of Consumer products
more closely regulated...including the
mandatory issuance of SDSs.

I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago...
IIR, technically - they don't have to release them to the public. They do have to release them to you if you are employed by them and working with the chemicals.
I think it would be frowned upon if a pro detailer (by pro I mean does it daily for a living) requested a MSDS and was denied. But the general public is not guaranteed access.

How could a manufacturer judge whether the person asking is "professional" enough to be granted the information or just an average Joe who's part of the general public? Sounds like it would result in discrimination over who's worthy of receiving the information.
