2. There is an MSD sheet in each case to meet the distributor’s requirement to have the MSD information on the premises when the product arrives.

4. Crack-and-peel labels appear on all products, and the products may be diluted and used in spray bottles. It is a legal requirement that these bottles be properly marked.
