(conoco) Interoffice Communication To Chuck Glover Prom Tom Grumbles ata April 27, 1982 Subject PRINTING OF MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS Please print the following quantities of the enclosed sheets: PVC Resin - 200 copies PVC Dry Blend - 200 copies PVC Compound - 200 copies Methyl Chloride - 100 copies CA-510 - 100 copies Please note the following: 1. On the PVC Compound MSDS in Section 2 the symbol should be^; we could not produce it very well on our typewriter. 2. The Methyl Chloride MSDS in Section 5, Toxicity Data has only inhalation data which fill the whole area. If there is anyway to clearly indicate this, brackets, etc., please let me know. Also, I need to redesign this section to eliminate this problem and others from occuring in the future. The change proposal is coming under sejjejate cover. 0-S Please call if you have questions on these two items. Thomas G.
