Subject: Re: Request for Advice on Chemical Hygiene
My organization does a lot of work in developing countries where this kind of issue is common, so I asked around our engineering department to see if we had done any work on this kind of problem. As it turns out, we have not, but one of the engineers came up with a label from Lab Safety Supply (6BB-11727, et. al.) that you can write on, then it has an adhesive mylar covering. This again won't help with the current issue, but might help in the future. Perhaps the adhesive mylar covering exists without a label attached in some kind of tape form that you could put over the original label. It is supposed to be resistant to moisture and chemicals.
