https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/GHS%2520MSDS%2520Updates%2520Letter.pdf
Existing, current MSDSs will continue to reside in our system for the time being, as we cannot
convert all to the new format immediately.
PolyOne manages the implementation of GHS so as to accurately reflect the properties of our products, and
while we do not anticipate wholesale changes to the documents that accompany our solutions because of the
change, we do believe some changes will be evident.
This
means that we are implementing GHS format SDSs to continue to provide our valued customers their
solutions of choice, and meeting coming regulations by the required deadline.
