Quick answer
For sodium percarbonate, CAS 15630-89-4, obtain the current U.S. SDS for the supplier’s exact grade. Record whether it is coated or uncoated and what the specification figures measure. If you formulate a laundry booster or cleaning powder, the ingredient sheet supports review but does not automatically describe the finished blend.
Where can you find a sodium percarbonate SDS or MSDS?
MSDS is the older term still used in searches. Request the current Safety Data Sheet from the company that supplies your material. These primary supplier resources help identify the product and associated documents:
- Sigma-Aldrich U.S.: sodium percarbonate, 371432 — match the product code and use its document resources or supplier support.
- Global Chemical Resources: sodium percarbonate uncoated — the product page provides SDS and specification links.
- Solvay peroxides product stewardship — includes sodium percarbonate handling guidance; request the SDS for your particular trade grade separately.
These references concern specific products or supporting guidance. If your supplier code or grade differs, obtain confirmation from your own supplier. A handling bulletin is useful supporting information, not a substitute for the matching SDS.

Which sodium percarbonate product are you using?
Supplier records may identify sodium percarbonate as sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate or a hydrogen peroxide–sodium carbonate adduct. Match CAS 15630-89-4 alongside the complete product name and supplier code, rather than relying only on a familiar cleaning-product term.
“Oxygen bleach” describes a product category or claim, not the complete composition of every product sold under that description. Keep the actual label and formulation record available. A sodium carbonate product or another bleach product should not be assigned the sodium percarbonate sheet merely because the names or uses appear related.
Why should coated and uncoated grades be recorded separately?
A trade specification can contain details that the main chemical name does not convey. Ask the supplier to confirm the coated or uncoated designation, exact trade grade and corresponding documents. Keep any coating or additional constituent information needed for the product assessment with that record.
Changing the purchased grade is a reason to review the evidence, not an automatic conclusion that the hazard classification changes. Use the supplier’s actual records rather than assuming all products with the same CAS number are interchangeable.
| Record | Question it helps resolve |
|---|---|
| Supplier and trade-grade code | Which material was actually purchased? |
| Coated or uncoated designation | Which specification and supporting information apply? |
| Assay or available-peroxide specification | What does the stated figure represent? |
| SDS revision and market version | Which product and supply context does the sheet cover? |
| Finished formula reference | Where is this ingredient used in your supplied blend? |
Is an available-peroxide figure the percentage in your finished product?
Read the specification heading before using a number. For example, Sigma-Aldrich 371432 lists available hydrogen peroxide information. A supplier’s available-peroxide or available-oxygen figure describes its stated test or specification basis; it is not simply the amount of that ingredient in your cleaning blend.
Keep three records distinguishable: the ingredient’s specification, any lot-specific analysis and the quantity used in the finished formulation. Explain whether formulation percentages are by mass or another basis. Ask the supplier to clarify ambiguous figures instead of converting them into a composition entry by assumption.
A CoA helps connect quality information to a lot, while the SDS addresses hazards and protective information. Bring both where relevant and identify which record supports which question.
Can the ingredient SDS cover a finished laundry or cleaning powder?
A finished powder may contain other ingredients alongside sodium percarbonate. Identify every component and its formulation reference, gather the matching supplier sheets and retain any relevant finished-product data. The ingredient’s properties do not by themselves establish the complete blend’s classification.
Do not rename a raw-material SDS as your laundry booster without assessing the actual product. The U.S. SDS preparation workflow shows how to connect product records, hazard assessment and document review.
If several scent or strength variants are supplied, list their differences. The finished-product variant guidance helps define what information to bring before grouping them under one document.
Example: a cleaning-powder brand changes its supplier grade
A brand has an existing SDS for one cleaning powder. Purchasing replaces the sodium percarbonate grade, but the product name and packaging stay the same. The useful review brief includes:
- The old and replacement trade-grade identifiers.
- The new supplier SDS, specification and relevant coating information.
- The current finished formula and any actual formulation change.
- The previous product SDS and the customer’s document request.
The assessment establishes whether the changed evidence affects the product document. This illustrative example does not assume a hazard change, assign a transport classification or provide a manufacturing recipe.
Does the request concern the powder as supplied or its solution in use?
State what you supply and how the customer is instructed to use it. A dry ingredient, a formulated powder and a product after dissolution are different descriptions. Identify which one the requested document concerns.
Keep the use instructions and relevant concentration information with the enquiry, without treating an in-use dilution as the composition of the packaged powder. For a review of several product stages, use the product-stage comparison.
For handling, storage or emergency decisions, follow the matching current product SDS and workplace procedures. Supplier handling guidance complements that information; a search summary does not replace it.
What else should stay connected when the grade changes?
Keep the formula version, supplier records, label identity and issued SDS traceable. Record when the new information became available and which products use the replacement material. If a buyer requests a newer sheet, retain their exact wording.
The U.S. SDS update guide explains how to organize the review. For an imported material, include the original supplier file and U.S. responsible-party information.
When is an authoring or review enquiry useful?
For a purchased unchanged sodium percarbonate grade, obtain the supplier sheet first. A product-specific enquiry is useful when you supply a finished blend, import a grade needing U.S. review, change an ingredient or receive a specific question about an existing SDS.
For example: “We formulate one oxygen-cleaning powder. The sodium percarbonate supplier grade changed. We have the old product SDS, new ingredient records and current formula reference and need to assess the revision before launch.” Include your role, product count, available records and deadline. Keep confidential composition out of the public form.
Use the USA service comparison to clarify whether the work is preparation, review or an update.

Frequently asked questions
Use the CAS number to confirm the chemical identity, then match the supplier code, grade and any coating information. The actual commercial product records determine which sheet to request.
No. Keep the supplier’s assay basis separate from the amount of ingredient used in your blend. Provide the finished formula record and clarify ambiguous specification figures with the supplier.
No. Handling guidance can complement the SDS, but obtain the current sheet for the specific supplier grade and intended U.S. supply.
It calls for a review of the changed evidence. Bring both grade references, the replacement supplier records and existing finished-product SDS so the scope can be established.
Not automatically. Identify the complete formulation, other ingredients, product identity and available finished-product evidence before deciding whether a suitable document exists.

What is the SDS authoring starting price?
Standard English-language SDS authoring starts at USD $99 per defined product. Review, testing, translation, localization and complex or multi-product work require a confirmed scope and quote. For an unchanged purchased product, request its existing SDS from the supplier first; this is not a paid document-download service.
