(2)        Distribute any antifreeze which has been banned by theBoard.

(3)        Distribute any antifreeze which has not been registered inaccordance with G.S. 106‑579.4 or whose labeling is different from thataccepted for registration; provided, that any antifreeze declared to bediscontinued by the registrant must be registered by the registrant for onefull year after distribution is discontinued; provided further, that anyantifreeze in channels of distribution after the aforesaid registration periodmay be confiscated and disposed of by the Commissioner, unless the antifreezeis acceptable for registration and is continued to be registered by themanufacturer or the person offering the antifreeze for wholesale or retailsale.

c.         It contains a minimum total glycol content of ninety‑threepercent (93%) by weight;

d.         The specific gravity is corrected to give reliable freezing‑pointreadings on a commercial ethylene glycol type hydrometer; and

e.         The freezing point of a fifty percent (50%) by volumeaqueous mixture of the antifreeze shall not be above ‑34º F.

(8)        Refuse, when requested, to permit a purchaser to see thecontainer from which antifreeze is drawn for installation into the purchaser'svehicle.
