Dear Jeffrey.
Although there are many; sites available for useful
information; both technical and general, here is a url that will give you a
basis
familiarity with the substance, plus some of its applications.
http://www.jovo.com.hk/cs.htm This is a site dedicated to one of our
recently
deceased Dutch friends.
I hope the information is an aid to you.
Sincerely. Brooks Bradley.
