DS2, HTH and STB chemicals are
murder on brass, copper, aluminum,
plastics
a
other materials.
Even the fmes are corrosive ±±.
which means NBC equipment could be
damaged when stored near or next to
open chemical containers.
The idea is, iF you have to open the
chemical containers, use up all oF the
contents. That way, you won't be stor-
ing open containers .
.. and there wiL be
no contents to dIspose oF.
²F you use DS2 in your M³³ decons,
´r instance, use the 1 1/3 quart conµ
