              A. THE TOPICAL SKIN PROTECTANT (TSP) IY FOR USE IN PROTECTING
          THE SKIN FROM THE EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL WARFARE BLISTER (VESICANT
          AGENTS. THE TSP PROVIDES INDIVIDUAL SKIN PROTECTION BY DELAYING
          THE PENETRATION OF MUSTARD AGENTS, BUT.IS PROBABLY NOT EFFECTIVE
          AGAINST THICKENED SOMAN OF VX.
              B.  TSP ACTS AS A PHYSICAL BARRIER BETWEEN THE SKIN AND THE
          AGENT:  ONLY THOSE AREAS OF SKIN HAVING AN EFFECTIVE LAYER OF TSP
          WILL BE PROTECTED. THE USE OFSTSP WILL,ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS
          OF SKIN DECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS. TSP HAS A VERY SLIGHT VINF:13AR
          ODOR AND CAN BE REMOVED EASILY WITH SOAP AND WATER OR WITH ALCOHOL
          WIPES.
