The above specification is representing general idea of the report however same is subject to variation up to certain extent, since this is been PIGMENT, automatic action & reaction is very natural even test pack of the materials and same is depending on natural weather too.
That’s our strategy and that’s not changing today or tomorrow or the next day or how to spy on a cell phone free the next year.
