QUALITY CONTROL
At the time of manufacture, Metlon
conducts a series of tests to insure that 50NL meets minimum physical
and chemical requirements. Copies of these tests are available from
Metlon.
Because of the wide variation in individual
requirements, it is recommended that each customer conduct its own
tests to determine Metlon's acceptability for its use.
