Why does the PVC glue SDS change with the brand?
The cements are solvent blends and the blend changes with the maker. Spears PVC-11, revised Nov 2023, lists a Category 2 flammable liquid and the hazard statements H225, H319, H332, H335, H336 and H351 (suspected of causing cancer). Spears PVC-19, revised Nov 2023, lists the same Category 2 flammable liquid with acute toxicity Category 4, skin irritation Category 3 and eye irritation Category 2B, and its hazard statements include EUH019, may form explosive peroxides. Weld-On 711, compiled May 16, 2022, lists a Category 2 flammable liquid, acute toxicity Category 4, carcinogenicity Category 2 and respiratory irritation. Heavy body, medium body and low-VOC cements from one maker have separate sheets.
The sheets below carry dates from May 16, 2022 to Nov 2023.

What should I read first on my sheet?
Read the base and the body: heavy, medium and low-VOC cements from one maker have separate sheets. The two we read list a Category 2 flammable liquid. Spears PVC-11 also lists H332, H335, H336 and H351, and Weld-On 711 lists acute toxicity Category 4 and carcinogenicity Category 2. A Category 2 liquid brings the dispensing paragraph whatever the flash point. The primer has its own sheet.
