The sections relative to First Aid appear satisfactory. ^-Chemicals Operations & * Corporate Services cf ^ " * i#* rW;.w- * '' "ix VVC 000007311 (cor v Interoffice Communication To Distribution From Tom Grumbles Date December 22, 1981 subject MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS Enclosed are the first drafts of MSDS's for VCM EDC, EDC Tars, and VCM Light Ends. Please review the appropriate sections as indicated below and return your comments/input to me by January 20. We have not had MSDS's for the VCM by-products in the past and there are quite a few blanks on these sheets, particularly in Section 3, and Section 9. Your input is certainly needed in these areas.
