.....Law says

It is not appropriate to leave the concentration percentage (or identity of the ingredient(s)) blank in Section 3 of the SDS. Where a trade secret is claimed in accordance with § 1910.1200(i), a statement that the specific chemical identity and/or exact percentage (concentration) of composition has been withheld as a trade secret is required in Section 3 of the SDS. See 1910.1200(i)(1)(iii).

so if there are "trade secret" ingredients a statement must be made. and the SDS for this"platinum DEF" contains no such statement.

therefore ALL indgredients must be listed, and all they list are urea and water.

So, curiosity got the best of me and I emailed Peak directly and asked them. Below is the response:

Please note that the chemicals used in the additive package in Blue DEF Platinum are proprietary.

In addition, while Safety Data Sheets often list most of the chemical constituents that make up a particular product. They are not intended to be a comprehensive list of ingredients.
Only the hazardous ingredients that are present above certain thresholds are required to be listed.

So they are stating they aren't required to list the proprietary products in the SDS.

So my statement was correct :)

Yep. I guess I'm just too accustomed to working in a lab where the reagents and mixtures we purchase are 'normal' lab grade and therefore have all components listed on the SDS regardless if they are considered hazardous or benign. I thought at minimum, even if it's proprietary, that they had to claim the % of the mixture, but I guess not.
