Product Hazard & Risk Information

As part of our Responsible Care® program commitment, NOVA Chemicals conducts systematic evaluations of our products to assure that they deliver their intended benefits while protecting public health and the environment. The following tables, along with the linked documents, are intended to help facilitate knowledge of our products and relevant hazard and risk information.

Our Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) provide basic information about our products, including the hazard properties, how to use our products safely, and what to do in an emergency. In compliance with global hazard communication requirements we provide SDS for products in all jurisdictions where we manufacture and sell the products. Our Product Backgrounders are short summaries of our products, capturing key hazards detailed in the SDSs. Our Risk Profiles are short summaries of our products and are intended to give general risk (hazard and exposure) information about our products.
