Greetings!
This issue of our CRT newsletter provides you with information regarding the Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) that will go into full effect 1 June 2015. Global Harmonization is an important step in providing a foundation for all countries to develop comprehensive national programs to ensure the safe use of chemicals. As many of you know, Carus is a chemical manufacturer providing environmental solutions for remediation. What many of our remediation customers do not know is that we manufacture phosphates that can also be used at remediation sites. The use of phosphates in conjunction with permanganate can minimize/inhibit manganese dioxide formation - see article below. Also included in this issue is a case study for IXPER� 70C Calcium Peroxide. Thanks for reading!
