Having read some of the replies, I fully understand it is not the colour
that determine the property of the material. What then is the acceptable
property or material used in this bubble wrap/bag made from? This will
allow me to check with our supplier to see whether they give me the
correct specification. This will allow me to recommend precautionary
measures (I really do not want to see staff in the whole lab breaking
into rashes , Hee Hee Hee) ), step up our ESD control or any contingency
plans, etc if I am to continue to use up this roll of bubble wrap.
Thanks to those who find time to give me your precious feedback.
Regards,
Wee Mei
