Vista Chemical Company 15990 North Barker's Landing Road Post Office Box 19029 Houston, Texas 77224 Phone (713) 531-3200 July 7, 1988 T66T XF: Aersol Company Ms. Sandy Moore P. 0. Box 120 Neodesha, Kansas 66757 Dear Ms. Moore: As we discussed, Vista has a limited amount of toxicological data on LPA solvent in regards to the California pesticide data requirements. Also we have no efficiency studies as we do not market LPA as an active ingredient for pesticides where efficiency is a concern. I've enclosed a Material Safety Data Sheet for LPA. The CAS number is on paie one. The toxicology data available is summarized in Section If this is useful we can provide full copies of the studies. It should be noted we have recently had further skin irritation testing done which indicated a score of less than 5. Please call me at 713-531-3445 if you have further questions. Sincerely, t Environmental Quality Manager <*lj cc: Lynette-Baldwin Price Enclosures vvv 00001*509 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Vista Chemical Company Houston, TX 77224 MANUFACTURER'S NAME ADDRESS TRADE NAME SYNONYMS CAS NUMBER REGULAR TELEPHONE NO.
