Safety data sheets by product

Lacquer thinner SDS

Lacquer thinner (also searched as lacquer thinner sds, thinner, solvent thinner) has no single safety data sheet. Each maker writes its own, and Section 2 of the sheet you hold decides what it sets off under OSHA. The employer keeps it readily accessible each shift (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)). 3 official sheets are linked below.

Why does the lacquer thinner SDS change with the brand?

Lacquer thinner is a blend of solvents and the blend changes with the brand. Klean-Strip Lacquer Thinner, revised Jan 24, 2022, lists a Category 2 flammable liquid, acute toxicity Category 3, reproductive toxicity Category 2 and single-exposure organ toxicity Category 1. Sunnyside Lacquer Thinner, dated May 28, 2015, lists acute toxicity Category 4, germ cell mutagenicity Category 1B and carcinogenicity Category 2, and names acetone, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methanol and ethyl acetate among its components. Savogran's Painters Lacquer Thinner lists H225, H304, H315, H319 and H360.

The sheets below carry dates from May 28, 2015 to Jan 24, 2022.

Nothing is hosted here. HazComFast is not affiliated with these makers.

The Sunnyside sheet names these substances, and each has its own chemical page: Acetone (CAS 67-64-1), Toluene (CAS 108-88-3), Methyl Ethyl Ketone (CAS 78-93-3), Methanol (CAS 67-56-1), Xylene (CAS 1330-20-7).

What should I read first on my sheet?

The blend decides, so read Section 3 for the solvents. Sunnyside's names acetone, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methanol and ethyl acetate. Klean-Strip's lists a Category 2 flammable liquid, and Savogran's lists H225 and H360. Section 9 gives the flash point, and Section 8 any OSHA limit for the solvents the sheet names.

What does your sheet set off under OSHA?

Paragraphs a lacquer thinner sheet can set off
If your sheet says	What follows	Paragraphs
Section 2 lists any classification	Written program with chemical list, training, sheet access, labels.	(29 CFR 1910.1200(c), (e)(1), (f)(6), (g)(8), (h)(1); 1926.59)
Section 2 lists a flammable liquid	Dispensing paragraph: Category 1 or 2, or Category 3 below 100 °F.	(29 CFR 1910.106(e)(6)(ii); 1926.152(e)(2))

Finding the lacquer thinner sheet is the easy part

Keeping every sheet read, current and ready for an inspector is the work that never ends. HazComFast does it with your crew: the AI extracts each sheet, and every reading leaves a proof.

Extraction: the AI reads every sheet

Scanned, long or in Spanish, it reads

Drop in the lacquer thinner sheet, scanned or not, in English or Spanish. HazComFast reads every page, with progress shown page by page, so a 32-page sheet gets read to the last page.

Every section a foreman needs

Composition, spill response, storage, physical properties, stability and toxicology land on the product page with their source, so the sections a foreman actually needs aren't buried in a PDF.

The AI proposes, a person signs off

Each hazard shows where it came from: extracted from the sheet, or confirmed by a named person on a date. Confidence is measured against the text of the sheet, and below a floor every field is checked by hand before it saves.

A pictogram is never guessed

A pictogram only goes on your label if it's actually on the sheet or follows from its H-codes. H225 on the sheet means GHS02 and DANGER on the label, derived from OSHA's Appendix C.

Checked against 200 real sheets

Every change to the AI is checked against a reference set of 200 real SDSs before it ships. A field it isn't sure about is highlighted for you to check, and the inventory flags products whose extraction hasn't been validated yet.

Proof of reading, without the chasing

Nobody has to remember to ask

Add a hazardous product to a site and every worker there gets one notice with a 7-day due date. A reminder follows at day 3 and an escalation at day 7.

“I read it” can't be a reflex tap

The confirm button stays grey until the worker has scrolled through first aid or to the last page of the PDF and has spent 15 seconds there. The record keeps how long and how far.

A proof of reading the worker keeps

The worker ticks an attestation, and the record keeps which SDS version they read, the server time and the device. They can download their own PDF of it.

A new sheet means a new reading

When a manufacturer updates a sheet and the hazards change, everyone who confirmed the old one is asked to read the new one. Each confirmation keeps which version they read, for which jobsite.

Who read what, in one console

See who hasn't read what, nudge everyone overdue in one click, and export last month's confirmations for one jobsite, each with the SDS version they read.

The reading joins the training file

Each confirmed reading also lands in the worker's training file as a HazCom reading record, so your training records and your SDS records tell the same story.

From the sheet to the label

A label that can't go out empty

A label with five pictograms keeps all five, because the format switches. A label with no hazard information won't print. When the sheet changes, you get a relabeling task with its six-month deadline.

English and Spanish, side by side

Hazard and precautionary statements show in English and Spanish on every product page. A Spanish sheet that says PELIGRO is recorded as DANGER, and the original file stays attached as you received it.

Every print on record

Every print run is logged with exactly what went on the labels. When a hazard changes, the relabel task can only be closed by a print made after the change.

In the field, on the phone

Scan the drum

Scan the QR code on a drum and the page shows the maker and the CAS number under the title, so you know you hold the right one. A drum taken out of inventory still opens its SDS, marked as removed.

Search inside the sheet

Type “eye contact” and you land on first aid. Pinch to zoom on the small print.

Still there with no signal

Offline, the worker opens the sheet itself, with first aid and what to do in a spill. “Available offline” only shows when the PDF is on the phone.

When the inspector asks

The binder, in one click

One click gives you the jobsite's SDS binder, with lacquer thinner in it, as a ZIP with a CSV index, and a dated CSV or PDF of who confirmed reading what. That is what you hand an inspector or a GC.

No expired-sheet myth

HazComFast never tells you a sheet has expired, because OSHA doesn't set an expiration date. You choose your own review interval, and the app labels it as your internal policy.

The chemical list behind it

Bring your spreadsheet

Imported products get the same pictograms as ones entered by hand, and importing the same file twice doesn't duplicate anything.

Each product, at every site

Each product page shows every site it's stored at with quantities, and warns you if something incompatible is stored at the same site.

A program that stays true

The chemical list in your HazCom program is built from each jobsite's inventory. Remove a product and the program tells you the list is out of date, with a button to rebuild it.

Questions about lacquer thinner

Is lacquer thinner the same as paint thinner?

No. Paint thinner is mineral spirits, and lacquer thinner is a stronger blend of solvents. They have separate sheets, and a mineral spirits sheet will not list the components named on a lacquer thinner sheet.

Does a California or low-VOC lacquer thinner have its own sheet?

Yes. Makers sell regional formulas under nearly the same name, and each has its own sheet. Match the sheet to the formula printed on the can.
