Safety regulations
It is essential that we provide you with detailed information about the chemicals in our products, as they contain specific chemical components. Here you will find the hazard indicators (H) and preventive measures (P), in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Consumer chemicals are intended for research purposes only and not for personal or household use. We strongly recommend that you keep the chemicals out of reach of children, store them in a dry place at room temperature, and consult our Terms and Conditions.
