SAFETY NOTICE: In Order to provide our customers with the highest quality material and maintain our high standards of safety, the surface temperature
of the bubbler will be monitored during the transportation of our products. We would like to monitor the surface temperature of the bubbler using a
tempilabel. Tempilabel is a temperature-monitoring strip ranging from 120F to 150F (49C to 66C) which will indicate the temperature during shipment. The
strip will turn black at one of the four ratings shown if the temperature is reached (normally a silver centre). If the temperature monitor is changed, please
notify an Epichem representative immediately and we will assist you in the proper measures to be taken. We ask for your co-operation in our efforts of
quality assurance and safety. If you have any questions or comments, please contact an Epichem representative. We thank you for your co-operation.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
