What you receive — and what this is not

What you receive

  • A digital PDF safety data sheet in the sixteen-section structure of REACH Annex II (Regulation 1907/2006).
  • Substance identification, hazard classification, physicochemical, toxicological and ecological information, and regulatory references.
  • Classification read against the harmonised entry in CLP Annex VI where one exists for the substance.
  • A version number, a compilation date, and the source behind each value that carries one.
  • Delivery by e-mail. Nothing is shipped.

What this is not

  • Not a chemical substance, not a sample, not any physical goods.
  • Not a certification. No official certification scheme for safety data sheets exists in the European Union.
  • Not legal approval, and not a guarantee of compliance in any jurisdiction.
  • Not a substitute for your own regulatory assessment, nor for the safety data sheet supplied by the manufacturer or importer of the substance you actually hold.
  • Not adapted to a specific workplace, process or national annex unless you provide that information.

Where the available evidence does not support a value, the sheet states that the value is not established rather than estimating one. A field with no recorded source is marked as such.

What is in the buyer pack

Everything your compliance officer will ask for, in one file.

  • The product page as PDF — the record as published, so what you forward matches what you read.
  • The safety data sheet at your entitlement level — sixteen sections in the order set by REACH Annex II, for this substance, in the language you select.
  • The CLP label artwork — generated from the same classification as the sheet, so the two cannot disagree.
  • The specification, and the certificate of analysis where batch data exists.
  • sources.txt — every citation with the date it was read.
  • An explicit list of what we could not establish — fields marked unavailable rather than filled with an estimate. This is the honest part of the document and we do not hide it in a footnote.

Your European buyer is going to forward this to somebody who was not on the call. The pack exists so that what they forward is complete, self-explanatory and traceable — rather than four attachments and a sentence beginning “I think this is everything”.

About the language versions

These switch the language of this page. Single substances. Mixtures on enquiry. One document, one language — additional languages are priced separately. Every version, including the Chinese one, is written to EU law — (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) Annex II and (EU) 2020/878 — and translated from it. The Chinese version is a reference translation, not a legally valid document for the Chinese market: an SDS for China must be compiled separately to GB/T 16483 and GB/T 17519.

  • Licence CC BY-NC-SA 4.0: you may print, share and adapt the print model (with base) for non-commercial purposes — at home, school, university or a makerspace — with attribution. CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
  • Commercial use — selling prints and paid printing services — only with our licence: [email protected].

1. Download a file

Not sure what to pick? Prusa MK4, MINI or Ender-3 S1 — take its G-code. Any other printer — the 3MF project (PrusaSlicer) or the STL (other slicers). Printing at a makerspace or print shop — hand over the ZIP package and the PDF data sheet.

Ready G-code for your printer — each file only for the printer it names. Load it and print:

Another printer? Download the 3MF project with all settings and open it in PrusaSlicer — or import the model into your own slicer.

2. Print as supplied

Base flat on the bed, no rotating and no rescaling — the file is in millimetres. Keep your slicer’s automatic supports switched on.

In your own slicer: organic (tree) supports with “on build plate only” switched OFF — every tree starts on the base (Cura: Support Placement = Everywhere). After choosing your printer, press A (Arrange) so the model sits in the middle of the bed.

3. Finish the model

Remove only the orange slicer supports. Keep all 7 yellow pencils — they are part of the model and hold the molecule up. Cut the supports with flush cutters, from the top down; do not pull or twist. The model prints in one colour — the colours exist only in the preview and in the picture below.

What to remove, what to keep and how to optionally free the molecule from its base

Panel 3 is a render, not a photo of a print — the model prints in a single colour.

Optional: want to turn the molecule in your hand? As the last step, cut each yellow pencil at its thin neck just under the sphere (about 2 mm) and sand off the small cone left on the sphere. Go slowly — the bonds are about 2 mm thick. We have not yet confirmed this step with our own print.

4. Show us your print

Send us photos of your print — with the supports and after removing them — to pure@molgod.org.

These 4 photos help us most: the whole model with supports, the finished model after removing them, a close-up of the thinnest bonds and a close-up of the letters on the spheres. Feedback is welcome, but it is not a condition for downloading or using the model.

3D printing is all about the details. If something did not come out right, send us the photos: we will help and improve the model based on your feedback. Teacher? Join Wave 1 of the pilot →

No 3D printer?

Ask at your school makerspace, a library with a 3D printer, or a local 3D printing service. Give them the print package or the technical data sheet (PDF) — it contains everything they need.

A paid 3D printing service is commercial use and needs our commercial licence: pure@molgod.org. A school makerspace, library or university that prints free of charge does not need it.

Status: checked digitally and in the slicer; we have not printed it physically yet. Your print could be the first. Print settings, files and licence ↓

⚠️ GC estimate (Hoftyzer–Van Krevelen). No literature HSP data for this CAS — precision ±2 MPa½. Verify experimentally.

Solvent compatibility table not available for this substance.
The Hansen parameters fall outside the range of the method, so the distance Ra cannot be calculated, and the database holds no solubility measurement to put in its place. Rather than eleven ratings with nothing behind them, we show none. Base the solvent choice on the safety data sheet and on experimental data.

Why this page can be checked

Identity

CAS, EC and molecular formula, resolved across the identifier systems a buyer uses. The count of systems resolved is shown, so you can see how well characterised this substance is rather than assuming.

Data

Every physicochemical value carries the source it came from and the date that source was read. Open any of them.

Classification

Read against the harmonised entry where one exists, with the index number stated. Self-classification is shown separately and labelled.

Regulatory

Inventory, restriction, authorisation and candidate-list status, each stated individually. Where a status is not established, this page says so — it never says no restrictions apply.

Documentation

Which documents exist, at what review level, in which languages, and when each was issued.

Supplier

Who is selling this, and what they have published about themselves.

Nothing on this page is a certification. It is a record you can audit.

Two guarantees, both with their limits stated

The Gap Report Guarantee

If the available evidence cannot support a defensible document for your CAS number and product specification, we will not invent the missing values. You receive a documented gap report and choose: a refund, store credit, or the report on its own.

A visible gap is worth more than a plausible number, because the plausible number is the one that fails when somebody checks it.

The Re-issue Promise

If a signed card is rejected by an authority or by a customer’s compliance officer on one of the points we checked and reported as passed, we re-issue it corrected at no charge and credit the original fee.

This covers the checks we performed and named. It does not cover registration status, tonnage, or your role in the supply chain — those are not ours to hold, and a guarantee that pretended otherwise would be worth nothing.
