This information is important to help us decide if there are any compatibility issues related to the use of this material.
Amount and Form of Material Required *
What is the volume required for its use? Do we keep a gallon, pint, or thimble size quantity in the chemical cabinets? And what form is the material in – solid, liquid, powder? Note that powder will draw considerable attention from the approval committee since it is next of kin to particle contaminants for the clean room integrity.
