Instructions are given on the safety precautions to be
used during storage and disposal by mechanical,
chemical and thermal means of the more important
chemicals (so-called "Leitchemikalien"). These are
listed in the tables in the order of their potential risk.
Their effect upon people and the environment are
also listed and any special precautions emphasized.
Notes:
The following information has been prepared to
be as exact and reliable as possible.
The manufacture of semiconductor compo-
nents is, however, subject to regular change
without special notification.
The publication of this brochure excludes any
responsibility resulting from its use.
