The pre-printed labels allow easy selection of the applicable GHS pictograms or hazardous properties SAFETYRAILCOMPANY.COM NSC – BOOTH #1339 I 888-434-2720 VPPPA SHOW #543 along with accumulation start data and content composition. These help to simplify proper labeling and are compatible with ball point pens and permanent markers. The labels are waterproof and resistant to chemicals, abrasion, tearing, UV, and their permanent adhesive passes a 90-day salt-water immersion test. Such labels can work for a variety of hazardous waste generators including VSQG, SQG, LQG, as well as sub-part K (Academic Laboratories).
