OXYGEN ABSORBER TESTING
On July 24, 2001, we received the results from testing done on a selection of our cans. The Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America, Inc. lab tested for oxygen concentration and internal pressure.

Oxygen concentration. All samples have less than 0.1% Oxygen concentration.
Internal Pressure. All Samples have negative internal pressure.

The following chart shows the oxygen concentration and internal pressure for the cans tested.
