Perfumes are explosive (the alcohols), sulfur compounds and other raw materials, not to mention wiring not up to U.S. codes, storage arrangements and in-plant transport techniques not to U.S. standard... those of you who've spent time in the third world or in manufacturing facilities in the West will have some idea of the possibilities for impromptu exothermic chemical reactions. |
