2. The 'Description' should contain the following: [Current Manufacturer in brackets] Any history for manufacturing should be included in the text. Please list: Material classification, latin name or chemical description, native source or production information; followed by history of use. For natural products, this includes the discovery, purification and development as a synthetic. For synthetics, this should indicate initial discovery, patent, (or the transfer to other manufacturer/with change of product names. Especially important is the use of this product in art or in preparation for use in art, stability, related materials, any additional information.
