Description

This series contains Azo and Phthalo process batch sheets. Each sheet is for a particular pigment blend, has an index number, and notes batch recovery, materials required and sometimes services usages. The majority were filed as archived or superseded batch sheets.

Also included is a file containing information on boilers, fork-lift regulations and load handling guidelines.

The provenance of Pigment Manufacturers of Australia Limited has been assigned to this series as it was not possible to determine a finer provenance attribution. Also included are files pre-dating the formation of PMA Ltd, which have been assigned the provenance of Pigments Plant at Laverton.

Some files in this series are marked with ink or pigment. Wearing gloves while handling these items is recommended.
